Scout Report - "Fairly poor intelligence on the football pitch"

[djpdavey]

Is the "Fairly poor intelligence on the football pitch" based on a visible or hidden attribute?

It will be to do with their Mental Attributes.

Have a look at the attributes and where they're particularly poor. Possibly Anticipation and/or Decisions.

Thanks! looks like my scout is an idiot. he doesn't seem to realise we are in the national league and not league one.

Might be worth looking at "Off the Ball" as well perhaps?

 I had same question m8.  I too assumed decisions, anticipation & off the ball and concentration too! However one of my scouts actually mentioned positioning in relation to it. And every player I've seen with the dreaded negative..... 'lacks intelligence to compete at higher levels' has had low positioning . Hope it helps bud

Young players usually have bad mentals, because of their lack of experience in professional football. 

Physical > Skills> Mental is my order of selecting a good dude.  Moreover, the lower you are in the pyramid, the more you can 'ignore' the mental stats due to the opposition being bad too. Hence why some highlights are pure comedy at that level.
