The players you want on your team

[andrewh]

Quite a long post...

Yes, but I warned you all at the beginning.

Either footed players always perform better...I am yet to see an either footed player performing badly...

4) I have been keeping a record of the GK who consistently get 7, 8, 9 ratings and there was only 1 similarity between them - they all were either footed...

I read this either footed idea from you right away when I started playing, so now my whole team is either footed. This means that I cannot possibly refute your statement that they perform better because I have right or left footed players for comparison. The only observation I have is that I have found some poorly playing either footed players (nothing but 5's for form), but you are bound to come across a couple bad apples when you test them all out.

I have noticed one more thing ( many of you may laugh at this ) regarding weight of the players...

1) Players with less weight get injured a lot in this game...Never buy players with weight below 75...and with players below 70 weight don't even think of buying them...

2) Players having weight between 82-87 make ideal attacking midfielders...

3) Defenders having weight 89+ perform good...

I like this info and will use it. This is the kind of response (telling me where I am right and wrong and teaching me new things) I was hoping for. Thank you.

Besides if you persist with a player they tend to perform well at last...

If you keep playing a highly rated player who gets 5's all the time, they will eventually get better?
I have read about trying them out at different positions (for example, trying a DC at all three DC positions) and I do this before I sell them, but you are saying that if I keep playing a bad player he will get better? How many games are we talking or do you mean from one season to the next?

And the theory that price is an indicator how fast a player train is 100% true...There is no doubting this theory...

I will take a closer look at this. Are you saying that high price means that you have a higher probability of finding fast training? I have read people saying that it is not just more likely to find fast training but that high price= fast training everytime. I have found some not so great trainers with high price. Training speed goes down as age and stars go up, but otherwise does not change, right?

There are no players with 0 star...The minimum is 1 star and the maximum is 9 star...

This may be my most important question. I have not played long enough to find this out. I have seen two star players outplay four and five star players. If that awesome two star player is older and does not train very well, at what point will he not perform well? When I move up a level and he becomes one star? When I move up to the next level and he is still a 1 star but quality is down another five? At some point form has to go down or my 18 year old, two star, high form player that I received in my first season will still be good at level 17 when he is 34 years old (if I would be lucky enough to level up every season).

Any thing else you will like to know which I missed......

Be careful. I might have you answering questions in this thread for weeks.
