What do you look for ? Mom or assists

Neither, I always go for goals with wingers/MC and ST. It's the only stat that exaxtly is what it says. Assists don't mean much to me. A player can get heaps of assists just by assigning free kicks and corners to him. No matter who you assign, he'll be in the top of your assist-list.

In reply to Saransh's post; ratings can be funny at times in the details, but I wouldn't say they don't mean anything or are completely random all the time. You can all have the 4-5's, then I'll happily buy the 8-9 rated in matches. GK's are wellknown for their issues with unreliable ratings but for most other positions they do matter if you look at a serie of matches. You have to factor in how the game deals with positions that aren't that actively involved, GK being the best example, but same can be true for a DMC, or MC if playing down both flanks. In all my slumps it was pretty obvious to see by ratings what was causing it. That doesn't mean it can then easily be fixed though. Also, it is crucial for your central players to get good ratings. Especially your MC's. On numerous occasions I 've seen that one bad (rated) player can have a huge impact on the whole. I don't pay much attention to MOM's, but if a GK has 1 or more on their history that would be a reason for me to consider buying him as they are very rare.

I know it's easy to shoot holes in ratings in individual matches and to take all of them as gospel would be wrong. But by completely dismissing them you might be even more wrong.
