Good Players, Stats etc.

Firstly, is it just me or a lot of the stats on this years game seem to be a lot lower than previously and to be honest a bit random. E.g. Cristiano Ronaldo has Creativity - 13 on mine? Seriously??? and people like R.Ferdinand, W.Rooney etc without a 20 to their name.

Another separate thing... i thought (as im sure many will) lets be man city manager as they should basically have unlimited funds. However, they have a budget of 55m, which isnt exactly enough to make the squad they have up with the level of Utd or Arsenal. Also the players in their squad have awful stats, like Micah Richards, who was awsome on the last FM, but now looks pretty average.

Finally... just wondered if anyone had found any quality young players who they think are going to become world beaters? Feel free to post about any of the above...

Micah Richards was as awesome as ever in matches for me in the demo. Some players are a lot better than their stats suggest.

Stats aren't everything i've discovered in FM. PA and CA play a big part. SI couldn't have given City unlimited funds otherwise the game would just be pointless if you're Man City. I'm a Man City and i'm more than happy with the budget and reputation of City

take a look at Zoran Tosic, i bought him, doing well in pre season this he will become really good
