INFO

Spoiler: show
Artur de Sousa, known by his nickname Pinga (July 30, 1909 in Funchal – July 12, 1963 in Porto) was a footballer and later coach who made his name at FC Porto, where he served until his death in 1963.

Pinga played as forward or inside left and achieved nationwide fame at CS Marítimo. In 1930 he earned his first call-up to the national team, and in the same year joined FC Porto, and became the key player of the victories in the 31–32 and 36–37 Campeonato de Portugal (the predecessor to the Cup of Portugal). He was still a playing for Porto when the forerunner of the current Primeira Liga was established. Porto was champion in the first two years of the competition.

He retired in 1946 after a meniscus surgery, when such operations still carried many risks. During his career he was considered the best national player ever, with 394 goals in 400 games. He only played for two clubs, Marítimo and FC Porto. He was capped 21 times for Portugal, scoring 9 goals over 12 years (1930–1942).[2]

In his first season as a football manager, he caused a massive upset when Tirsense knocked out Sporting in the Portuguese Cup. He then managed Sanjoanense and Gouveia before returning to FC Porto as assistant manager.

He died in 1963, while serving as a youth team coach in Porto.

I would have some useful suggestions for the set based on the texts that I found on the web.

At the time, in Portuguese league participated 8-10 teams so at the best case, he would play in 18 games + several in the cup, so I'd reduce CON to 4. On the other hand, I agree with CONS 7.
Era should be 1933-1939 which includes his trophy winning seasons and also Bola de Prata trophy.
Height: 170 cm Weight: 72 kg

Quote:
Pinga was unquestionably one of the greatest footballers of his generation. A sharp shooter with a lethal left foot, he was an expert in the feint, with an astute first touch and tight control on the turn, his skillset complemented by a tireless work ethic that made him equally effective in attack and defence.


I think that AGI needs a raise (to 85), to represent well his skills combined with DA. Also, I'd raise TEC to low orange, but lower than DA, which can btw, go point or two up since that was his greatest asset and is described in a lot of texts as amazing.
Also, SPA could go point or two up (he was pretty good at delivering the final pass), and LPA can be raised to high greens (don't know how good he was but I don't think that there should be such a gap between SPA and LPA), while both SPS and LPS should be lowered to low greens.
I think that RES 85 is high for him, high green-low yellows will suit him better.
I haven't read that he was good at tackling so I'd remove the card. And he looks like an ideal player to have Talisman card. And although he was a leader with attitude, maybe his MEN can be lowered.
You can put "The Pearl of Atlantic" among nicknames.

To be honest I do not know if a player from Primeira League in "30's" needs oranges values in SA and Tec regarding as you say "At the time, in Portuguese league participated 8-10 teams" , that is way I was a bit conservative.

About LPA and did not find anything it says he was decent, and considering his fearocious SP I thought LPS>LPA.

Maybe the card can be erased, but I read he was kind a Di stefano: a complete player to colaborate in reconvering the ball very comminent that is the reason I gave him Ment at 92 to balance his low sta (82)

I'd question the level of Portuguese football back then.

I didn't say anything about SA. Shooting stats are looking good to me. You can leave DA on 91, but IMO, TEC needs a raise to 89-90 to emphasize these two attributes as his greatest assets comparing to his other abilities.

Ok, but I still think that 75 is too low.

I agree on that, but I have read that he proved on international level, against stronger opponents. After all, he is still considered as one of the best Portuguese players ever. I don't think that he's on the same level as Eusebio, Figo and Ronaldo of course, but I think that he was very good player.

I doubt he track backed as much/near as Cavani

Already a striker back then with 40-45 in DEF should do a lot of defensive work compared to the standard lazy forwards of that era.
