ThfcJoe Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 What would be a good amount of stars for a player in the coach/scout report? And how much would you trust them, if the person rating them was over 15 for both Judging Player Ability and Judging Player Potential? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Owl Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I use my scout reports a lot. I think the stars are in relation to your leageu target, so personally I try and get 3.5 star or higher. I will occasionally go for below 3 stars, if it's a short-term deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKalle Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Keep in mind it's all relative to: 1) the players already at your club 2) the reputation/goal/standard of your team and league Also, for some odd reason, 3.5/4* reports seem to be very few and far between, with most of the players being given a rather "plain" 3*. But considering you'll probably have a 4.5* player in your squad, a 3* player is probably good enough for being a first team regular. From my experience I'd use this guidelines (assuming you have an ok squad already... otherwise any shmuck will get 4 stars or more...) <1* = not good enough for First Team 1.5*= fringe player, keep around for injury crisis only 2* = decent backup for First Team [go for utility players, cheap deals or players with ok key attributes] 2.5*= ok rotation player 3* = your average-to-good Starting XI player 3.5*= good Starting XI, the one you want to spare before important matches >4* = Key Player So in the end, anyone above 2* can be good enough to play, also depending on the role and attributes.

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I try not to sign below 3*; I also make sure that I've gotten a player scouted by a 20/20 scout, though, or there's too much discrepancy between the player's actual rating and the rating the scout was able to give. Same thing goes for self scouting; make sure there's a coach (for me, it's always my assman) with 20/20 (or as close as possible) scouting if you want to really rely on using the star systems. I tend to think of it like this: a 3* guy is probably better overall than a 2* guy, but the 2* guy can still fill a role on the team. For example, I have an aging DL who's only rated at 2* who's keeping a 3* guy out of my side by consistently turning in 7.3-7.4 performances; he was the fan's player of the year last year, and I didn't even notice he was rated low until I checked the reports. It mostly has to do with how I use him; he's good at getting forward, passing, and crossing, and I ask him to do a lot of that. Admittedly, I normally wouldn't even have given him the time of day on a scout report...but he's not showing any signs of letting up, so I'm continuing to use him as a key player. Don't let the stars rule everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 think of it this way: they call decent players the ones with 2 stars. which is like borderline. 2.5 is the minimum u should accept, 3 is good so sign them if affordable, 3.5 is a starting eleven player, 4 is a must, 4.5 spend all your money, 5 stars he will never come anyway!

Whoofe Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 for me, 2.5 & 3 & 3.5 star guys fill the bulk of the team. a few 4 star guys as my studs, a few 2 star guys that may not shine but they dont play all that bad either, and I keep a couple 1 star guys that have potential for getting up to 3 or so the 2 star and 1 star players can fill a role, if they are low wages and have at least some decent statistics in areas they can be useful for i prefer having an overachieving team under wage budget rather than a bunch of overpaid underachievers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantens Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I've found scouts to be quite unreliable if their 'judging player potential' rating is any bit less than 19. I've received quite a few negative, at most two star reports concerning youngsters of whom I knéw they had a PA of -8 or >140. They still come in handy for revealing hidden attributes, though:).

Vangelis21 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 the truth is that theit scouting must not work properly. i conducted a test and a player that was getting 3 stars from a scout with 20 in scouting potential AND current ability, got 2.5 from a scout with 8 in both attributes!
