Players with 340% + 1% skills. Mutants or well trained ?

[pcmacdaniel]

Ok, let's start with what we all agree.
- Players with 1500% fitness and 1% shooting are definitely "mutants"
- Players with 340% white and 1% grey skills, 18 y.o. are created by abusing the system and we don't agree with that.

But players 340%-1%, with 99% quality, are so capable in asso games why ?
Because they have high white/useful for their position skills or because it's some kind of glitch (as the first mutants) and the mechanics understand them as some higher q players ?

How a team with players 340%-1%, 99% quality, performs vs a 130% team ?
Why?

How can a ST with 1% in Fitness and Aggression can be such a great scorer ?
How can a AML/R who are the most successful players in game, perform so good with 1 % in Strength and Aggression ?
How can a DC with 1% Speed, stop oppo attackers ?

Is it a glitch or the mechanics just ignore the grey skills ?
Are they mutants next-gen or well trained players ?

I had a team of what some would call mutant players and others would call well-trained players while in Noel's association. Overall lost 1 game in 3 seasons (43-4-1). He can confirm if u wish to message him. I actually lost a greater percentage of my league games, than I did association matches.

About my team, I had 1% grays on all starters, including the goalie. Some whites were at 340%, but not all. I didn't upsell, I bought 3* 18 year olds and kept them until they were in their late 20's.

What I had noticed.

The engine ignores gray skills. No impact whatsoever

Of the white skills, some have a higher priority than others. Fitness, speed and strength are more important than anything else, and its not even close. A DL/DR w/ 340% fitness and speed can still shutdown AML and AMR, w/ 300%+ finishing and shooting, even if speed and fitness are high as well. I play the starter, it's lockdown defense; bring on the backup and we concede 2 or 3 goals to an average team.

Shooting is the next most important skill.

Not sure exactly. Big thing I noticed was great tactics can still beat the mutants w/ a little luck on the role of the dice. I had a turkish rival in my league that didn't have mutants (now he has mutants though), that was able to play me tough and sometimes get a win or draw, despite me having mutant players (including 1-3 in cup and 0-2 in CL final). Our quality was roughly even. Thing with the mutants is, I don't need to get my tactics correct to win, I just have to prevent my opponent from getting his correct.
