Strikers who are scoring nearly a goal a game are getting way too low ratings for what they're doing. I think it might be related to their Aerial Duel Win % but can't confirm. It seems a lot more prevalent in lower leagues were strikers are more limited and not as good in the air compared to defenders.
In this case the striker has nearly a goal a game and isn't even hitting a 7.00 rating but this is the 2nd highest average rating for a striker in my league.
This striker has scored in about 60% of his games so it's not like he's just scoring many in 1 game and then going lots of games without any goals. Comparing to above there's a bit of a difference in XG and headers won %, but I can't see a reason why is rating would be so low for someone with this good of a goal return.
As a bit of backup to my idea that it's the header win % that's causing this, looking at the average ratings for my league, 75% of the players in top 20 are Defenders and I'm pretty sure they all play CB. The others consist of Wingers, CM, AM and a GK. Not an out and out striker to be seen which is definitely a first for compared to other fm games.
If you want anymore info or even my save game just let me know, thanks!
