I´m kinda disappointed how less you can see and analyse. I was hoping for more stats for a long time now. This would even connect you more with the history of your team. So I want to make some suggestions.

Player history
I know this one is not really possible, because when I bet on players, I can see that teams are betting, which are far beyond my league. So the thing is, that leagues don´t exist and a talented player is only a relative value. They don´t have a carreer which you can follow. What I´d like to see, is when a player was transfered and for which team he was playing in each season (so a season could really have an ingame name [number]), how fast he became stronger or weaker (which is not possible in the current game design), his stats about goals, assists, matches played and so on for each season, his increase in value in a graph (not possible either). Also adding trophys in the player history. If a player is winning CL, this should be shown somewhere in the player history, making it more legendary when you buy a player who has won something and also making you nostalgically remember these moments with your players.
Also I´d really like to give every player an individual face in a simple art style. Mostly about hair, beard, tatoos, shape of head, teint, eye colour. You can do crazy stuff which makes looking for players even more interesting than only looking for funny names. So you would feel more attached to the players you own by giving them more individuality. I imagine a bust with most of your teams jersey shown and this could be used for the scoring animation during a live match.

Bigger all time stats
What I really like are the all time team stats, where I can see who was my best scorer and who had most matches played. This could be bigger tho, including not only the best but about the top 10... well or top 11 makes more sense, doesn´t it? Well add more categories to it too, like appreciating goal keepers for matches without goals against your team. These ideas are to be continued.
Also you can freeze the moment winning a title and save the squad in a picture somewhere in your club history. Yeah that would be awesome saying to yourself as an old man "jeez I remember that squad, a striker like he was would perfectly boost my team back to success." God I really wish for that one, my legends have been forgotten like they never existed.

More stats in league, cup, CL
I would like to scout which teams are dangerous during the season. This not only including best goalkeepers, maybe best player for midfield, defense and attack (so adding to best overall rating best rating for these areas with a total of four best ratings) and so on. I´m totally fine with showing top five, but it can increase up to ten, which would introduce more teams and not only the dominating ones. But also appreciating best teams, a stat with most goals, best defense, most possession, most goals from free kicks, penalties and corners, highest wins (which is basically stuff you can already see, but on an extra page). I leave this idea open for more suggestions.
Also it is secessary to see player satistics for every tournament, so that I can see the same stats I face in the league also in Champions League and Cup... for my opinion.

Presentation of your stats to others
It would be nice if other teams not only see who´s your best scorer and who´s your biggest star, but a club history. Not only the players like I´ve mentioned before, but also your greatest successes. This means all your trophys with time markers and of course the most important success you can accomplish: Triple Crown. I have a bigger presentation in mind, maybe you have some more and concrete ideas.
So I really wish fore more stats and for a deeper connection to my team due to more stats. By now players are just a name, which is being replaced mostly each season and I think that my ideas can work the games repetetive and meaningless character. This is nothing changing the arcade gameplay and nothing an arcade player needs to focus on but for the ones spending more time it could be a pleasure.
I´m looking forward to Top Eleven 2019 and hope for more stats there and if not I hope that these things will be implemented sooner or later, cause I don´t think this would be too much work (most of the things aren´t game changing).
