When to sell.........??

So, I've got a DMR/MR player who is a 5*, 19 year old and an incredibly fast trainer, his value is £4.19M and all signs suggest he should be an excellent asset for me.

Trouble is, his average rating is only just over 6 and he often gets ratings of 4 and 5 in games. :mad:

I can't carry a player like this, I've had him for just over a season and I have tried everything I can think of to improve his form. I wanted to give him a chance but its getting to the stage where I don't think he'll ever improve his form.

Is it worth giving a little longer?? Bearing in mind hes only 19?? Or is he quite simply a dud and should I cash in and use the transfer money on finding a replacement?

i have the same trouble with my players. i bought fast trainers 5* stars, for over 300million euros and scouts ( I'm level 12). All have very poor ratings most 4,5 max 6. something going wrong with Top11 sience 2 month. no videos ,bad forms and many more

I had same problems players playing bad and did not go in higher level even if i was among top teams but weakest did go. My player would just keep recieving 4 or 5 but now this season they are good again i am 4th even if i lost 3 in row but just few moments ago i beat first guy with 5-0. It was wierd to lose 3 in row with 1-0 even if i score avg 3 goals per game and recive only 1. But what can you do. I hope my team can keep this form.


If you have young players performing bad dont sell them they will regeing they form try to use them us much as posible in friendly matches and train them. Try to renew they contract and try to raise bonuses for win.
It is wierd but there is always ups and downs. Yoda would say: be patient young jedi.

I, too, am in a similar situation with an Academy player of mine that I got last season.

He is also 19 years old, a CM and is currently 4* (level 10). He's consistently rated as a 5 in matches, although he did rate a 7 in his last League match. He's also rated better in some friendlies I've used him in. Of the three CM's I have, he's got the greatest cumulative score, but I can't really use him - at least in important matches - when he's being so mediocre. I could get an easy $24MM for him by selling, but am also trying to decide if he's a keeper or transfer bait.

What do our more experienced managers suggest? Keep playing them in the hopes of improvement with age/experience, or sell now and get what we can for them?

Dont sell him just use him in friendly matches so he can pass this bad form. I had already few young with 5 stars players(one of them from my academy) that used to perform bad but i was persistent and now they are finally good again. I used to buy younger players in bad form( ok not too bad like all 4, but that had 5 and 6 in last few games) and turn them into good again becuse I dont need to use lot tokens on them becuse not many players bid for them due to bad form. I won 2 World cups and was second in league in last 3 season with players that had bad match rating in they previous clubs.

Any idea how long the bad form will last? Cause I've played him in three friendlies today and he was rubbish in all of them......

why do you all care about rate? I don't think rates are relistic nor useful. Just to say.. in my last match I won 5-0. My gk got a 5, the opponent gk 8. and also the average rating of all the oppont players are comparable to mine
I still preffer my team :-)

Because my whole form is poor. I wouldn't be bothered if I was winning games 5-0 but I'm not - here fore I'm trying to find a solution.

the stat is a lie. just rely on ye goo' olde fashioned gut instinct. rumours have it, it can also predict the weather better than brick tamland

It will take longer not one day, week in game.

I buy youths pretty regularly, and my advice is much the same as above... Train them, play them, and examine successful players of the same position ans see how their Skill Points are assigned, and work toward assigning them similarly on your youth. The problem with youngsters is their very even, and often need to be tweaked to get the best performance out of them. I ignore ratings until I have got their skills where I like.. if they then don't work... sell.

the solution that u are looking for is not in the stats or rating

Care to enlighten me as to where I can find what I'm looking for? Or is it a secret?!

I'd agree with everything cat's put, you could try 1 other thing and i know this sounds crazy but half the things that happen on this game are. I had a player who in value and quality should have been amazing but he kept getting 4-6 in his ratings. Someone on here suggested changing all the players details and as i'd kept him for a full season and tried everything else i thought why not

After that his stats are now consistent 7-9 figure that out?????

As for the person on this thread that says it doesn't matter i'd love to be on your server in your league because i think it does :p

With changing player details you are referring to what, nationality, name and such? Or just the stats/attributes by training?

He meant the details...name/nat I think... it's hilarious that it helped, but ok

yes i changed everything player name, number, nationality :D

since im the only one that says rating doesnt matter here, it looks like im being called out, i feel special
dont remember where i posted this but heres the funny story. won a game a long time over by over 6 goals. CF gets a hattrick goal and CAM gets a hattrick assist. both got 7 and 6. MOM goes to my LB who failed to score on a counter. dem ratings be random
the ever so few times i can agree with ratings are when teams are in a slump
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...team-form.html

I have player rating problems, they constantly around the 5-6, i am going to change there details and see what happens.

I will keep you posted.

I give them a full season, how I do it is if there academy players with lower skill value I play them in the cups or as cover when short, if they gain skill quickly I keep them if they are constant failures I get rid, as for buying players heres something for all you lot, I NEVER check his game ratings!, I buy for position and skills only, I make the judge of them playing in my team, I try to keep the 18/19 year old best I can.

when transfer goes back to 3hr and not this dumb 30 to 40 mins on list idea, on my server at least, it`s a stupid idea and virtually impossible to sell

I really think ratings don't mean anything. I never look at them, seriously.
Is your guy scoring goals or giving assists? Defending well? Does he get overcome in his wing by opponents and cause counter attacks on you?
If you have no complain from his right wing then keep the player.. Reinforce where u really need to..
