BL

BL stands for "Block". When a player shoots or passes the ball during a Break Sequence, the remaining defender(s)'s BL is subtracted from the SH or PA scores. This causes those scores to deplete if the defender(s) manage to get their hand on the ball. BL is an important skill for Defense players as it allows them to decrease the SH value so the Goalie has a better chance at catching or blocking the shot. It also allows defense players to take the ball during a shot or pass. If a midfielder tries to pass the ball to a forward, this can keep the ball from getting there and get the ball into the hands of your team.
