But because the maximum overall the engine takes into account is 180%, it means that all of your players are even skilled, 180%. And as I said before, this is important, so this new guy you just bought, possibly a 3* player, is given an even chance against your old players, who might be 9*.
If you play against your own level opponent, or just a few levels below, this new guy will be inferior against your old stars, because he is just 3* against that 9*.
Edit. And all of this is to get that fair rating for your new player.
