Koki Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have always been one who spends a lot of time on the player search engine, sorting players by certain key attributes, which always ends in signing a lot of players... I have about 150 players in my squads at the moment! So I was thinking of approaching player transfers in a different way. I first thought about not checking any player attributes before signing them, judging them only by average rating and scored goals and so on... but then again I would have a hard time finding keepers and defenders e.g. and other problems might occur. Is there maybe a mod which hides player attributes.. As a first step I now use the graphic bars rather than numbers for player attributes in their profiles. So here is my question: Do you have any suggestions on how to approach player transfers in a more realistic way or can you maybe tell me how you handle this?

Cougar2010 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 First step would be not to use the player search. Then use your scouts, personally I shortlist any player that is rated at 2.5* PA or more. When I'm looking for a player I consult my shortlist which can have around 2k-3k of players on it after a few seasons. I then base my decisions on the scout report, attributes & ratings.

dafuge Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I use the player search to identify players to scout, then make my decisions based on the reports that come back. I usually only glance at the attributes before signing a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 it's hard not to look at attributes, and why should we not? The scouting system is not reliable enough to get a full picture of a player like you would having watched him in the flesh yourself. That said, i do extensively scout now, even going to games to watch players myself when time and schedules allow. Then i sometimes sign a player on the basis of, for instance, his pass rate %, tackles % and all that stuff, and base it on the league and opposition he's playing agaisnt to see if he's good enough.
