Can making someone club captain affect their form?

[SimonHoddle]

In 2nd season of Spurs save I made Kane club captain.so far, in his first 15 games, he has 1 goal and average rating of 6.3. 
his first season he was +20 goals and +7 average rating

i cant say for certain but in my FM21 long save there were a a few (3 players) who played really well till appointed captain. then their form and teams form dropped till they were replaced.

Edit: to clarify they had high leadership and didn't have any negative pressure traits. though they didn't get upset when they were removed as captains either. this was also before getting to EPL so lower leagues.

It happens to me a lot. I do Academy Challenges where all my squad is 15 or 16 at the start. Leadership skills are low and kids feel the pressure.
