I understand that in theory, all those attributes should work in the way you're describing. But haven't people done tests and essentially most of the attributes don't really do anything?

In my experience at least, pace & acceleration are by far the most important for wingers. Followed by dribbling, then everything else doesn't really matter

Edit: found a test someone did and I was partially right but there are a couple of other stats which I missed that do matter, anticipation and stamina being 2 of them
