Do player ratings matter?

In my experience, ratings seem more linked to positions rather then individual players. If I had problems with match ratings of my MC, then it didn't matter who was playing there, they'ld all get bad ratings on that position. I've had the same with injuries a few times. Thats how all of my ST got injured in the first few days of this season in one team.

Totally Agree! And ratings for a position are probably determined by Formation being played
It is the reason why, when you play a bad form player out of position, sometimes improves ratings
...Why a GK can play as a striker and score goals and get good ratings...
...Why there is a belief that you should always put your best 11 on the field and play them in a legal(?) :-) formation - not necessarily in their positions

I think they are his last five games anyway including previous season.

which is a bit odd dont you think? they dont carry over the stats from last season, what makes you think they actually keep them
