How much the new ball is helping strikers?

[Maldini]

It's helping midfielders more than strikers I reckon.

Just about to type the same thing

 

The balls are ridiculous though

Not sure... you still have to have good technique and shot power to really see any effect of the new ball.

So I suppose sh!te players will still be found... i.e. Fat frank blazing over on many occasions in the Ingurland game. No deflections to aid him either.
