I agree with this, for example you have two central defenders, one with being really good with passing and defensive responsibilities while other always lose his man and AI create chances because of him. For example if that worse defender scores from a corner in the beginning of the match and probably throughout whole match his rating will be better even though it's not the case.

Similar situation for example let's say you have two wingers and let's assume your right winger is better with creating chances and works overall better in match. Just because if he misses a penalty his rating will decrease significantly and you might think he performs like 1 rating point worse than the other winger but that's not the case if you watch the game in an extended or full mode. Own goals, simple mistakes and etc. works like this too. So rating can't be an absolute decision to judge on a player's performance I guess in general, you have to observe in-game situations more almost in every situation.

Yes spot on thanks for your examples, I hadn't thought about this, I've had defenders score and then instantly get a 7+ plus rating only for them to make errors but still seem to keep a high rating! Also the missed penalty is the rating killer!

Hi mate,

I'm glad to hear the tactics works good for you...

About the wingbacks rating... I'd say that the rating not always accurately reflects the value of the work that a position does in the tactic and it just happens that some important work that a position does in the tactic isn't being valued as it should compared with other positions and you can't do noting about it and that's up to the algorithm that calculate the ratings 

Thanks for your reply @Totalfootballfan that does make sense, I will try not to be so harsh on my wingbacks in future then! I have had a lot of success with Cerber but I guess we're all looking for fm perfection!

Hi @Totalfootballfan

I've been using your tactics for many years and getting great success, thanks for all your hard work with creating and sharing them!

I have a quick question which may or may not have already been answered, but I'm using Cerber V4 and getting great results with my VFB Stuttgart team, winning multiple leagues and cups. The only problem I have is the performance of my wingbacks, they very rarely perform above a 7/10. I've spent lots of money buying different types of fullbacks/wingbacks but it doesn't seem to affect their performance. Despite this the tactic works great I was just wondering if this is normal or whether I need to do something to get them to play better?

Thanks in advance!
