Ever since the speed merchant skill card has been around, people have been abusing the players who have this card, and in MLO people tend to focus more on buying the speed merchants & other players are just ignored.
I came accross this team in MLO which had 6-7 speed merchants in the first team. Like wtf? Are you just going to pick up the ball & run with it all the time? Isn't that like really boring & repetitive?
I personally think that speed merchants have damaged the creativity of the game. These merchants are far too effective. In PES12 they were more, but in PES13 not so much. But I rather there not be this card.
You could have one of the cheaper/crappier merchants & still take on the whole team with him just because of the way he runs/dribbles. Their movement is unplayable at times.
I don't like playing with them because they don't suit my style of play, but I do tend to keep 1 or 2 in the squad incase I need to resort to plan B during desperate times. I have Lennon & Assaidi at the moment. My style is usually quick passes/one touch football. Very rarely do I run with a player just for the sake of it.
What are your thoughts on this skill card?
EDIT: I've noticed that it's usually the crappier players who tend to be the speed merchant abusers, which is understandable as they need help from somewhere, lol.
