Hi guys just wondering what you are looking for in a kicker or punter. I ve seen a lot of recommendations for most of the position but where is the love for kicker/punter. I know they don t influence the game that much in GI but I am just wondering how much star rating is important for that position. Should I be more comfortable playing a 1 star rated kicker with 12 in kicking or a 3 star player with only 9 in kicking?
I am assuming that high consistency will not harm, but what about strength and speed?

For me it depends on how much you can afford on wages for the position.
I think their benefit comes from field position from good kickoffs/punts rather than scoring, as all extra points are good and being in the right position for field goals is random. BPOS seems to be more important than skills, so 3.5* talent minimum.

There's a school of thought that kicking/punting skill is irrelevant once it gets to 12 and over. There's also a school of thought that says it is not a position worth wasting 4.5* talent players over.

From my point of view, I just had this player whose speed and strength capped quite low, and I trained him in both kicking and punting (as well as agility, vision and footwork so his wages didn't go out of control).

I'm also considering letting another player with naturally good kicking and punting play that position in friendly matches, so I have a reserve with good BPOS ready to step in should the good one get injured.

There are far more important positions on your roster though.

3.5* talent 13 kicking max and high con is all i need for a kicker.

so if you have a low phys player with high con and wont fit anywhere punt/kick and nothing else needed.
