18 years old with 1% abilities?

Mutant trick is closed

What's happening here is what javert89 stated in his post.

They're upselling, so many different white skills have a very high value, such as 300%, despite the player being 18 years old. Closing of the mutant trick only affects values about 340%.

If a 70% team is able to beat a 130% team with this trick then it means the 340% cap was not a good solution, so in essence mutant trick still works

Which raises the question "are we training our players correctly?"
If 100% (6stars) is taken as the standard quality for a player to be able to perform well at our level should we be ignoring some of the white skills for each individual player?
For example: if your team plays 2 strikers should 1 be heavily biased towards positioning, heading and creative skills in order to feed assists to the other striker with a bias towards shooting, finishing and strength? Likewise with 2 central midfielders, shouldn't 1 be focused on defence whilst the other is more geared towards attack?
It's just a thought, and like everything about this game, the truth is.........we know nothing.

I agree that there are a lot of things I don't know.
But I'm pretty sure this: equal quality, if I train my player to balance all white skills, it's definitely wrong, they don't stand a chance against unbalance training (some really high, some really low).

The problem here is that the player has a white stat and gray average that is impossible to reach at such a young age. It's not that the player has several skills between 300% and 340%. 300%+ skills through the normal training process is fine. Upselling causes player at the age of 18 years old to have a 200%+ white skills average with a 1% gray skew on an 18 year old. That's impossible without upselling. But having 200%+ white skills average w/ a 1% skew on an older player is normal.

The problem with upselling is that NOT ALL managers have this option. If I only own one account, their is no way for me to keep pace with a manager that has access to several accounts, all close in level and on the same server. It doesn't matter how many packs I save by farming; how many tokens I buy, their is no way to neutralize that advantage.
