I think there are hidden traits on the players that we kind of have to figure through playing. Like when you are first given a team, there are about 5 good players in it usually: a really obvious high star fast trainer, a couple decent star regular trainers, a decent star fast trainer, and a 3 star guy that performs like he's a 5 star. I wish I could figure out why the guys that look like nothing perform so good. Often they are older, so I think experience can get figured in somehow. And some players like to play to one side or the other, regardless of foot -- you can only find by playing them. And then there's the players that break no matter how good their physical stats are (and I have experimented with this one, I had a guy that was 5 star in one of my little teams, he always broke every third match! {averaged} I eventually just sold him) So I think I see what you mean Khris...
