Thomas Partey

Hello there - firstly it is just untrue to say that Partey is barely better than Elneny in the game.  This is simply not the case.  Arsenal finished 5th last season, 24 points off first place.  As you can imagine, this, broadly speaking, is the basis on which I was instructed to rate the team.  If I had given a huge increase to Partey given the fact he was injured for a lot of last season, it would have been both speculative and inaccurate.  He is rated absolutely fairly given his contribution last season.  Fine to disagree with that, but to frame it like I've made a massive, obvious error is unfair.

I've seen another of your posts in your post history that says you won the Premier League with 98 points in your first season in game as Arsenal.  Well done, that's quite an achievement!  I'm confused as to why at the same time you are asking for a massive increase to player ability, given this?

Appreciate the response, good to have constructive discussions. 

Compare Elneny's overview to Partey's, there really isn't much in it.

Being X amount of points off the league leaders isn't the best way of setting induvial player attributes. If Arsenal go on to win the league this season, Partey isn't a different player from last season and I guess he'd then he'd have all his attributes increases due to his TEAMS league finish? An example, Liverpool have finished miles off the title in the past, would you not rate Steven Gerrard because of it? No he was still a brilliant player with brilliant attributes. 

It's not relevant how good or bad my save went as I'm just seeking more accurate rating but with regards to winning the league with 98 points, I did so without Partey, obviously. I couldn't even sell him. I had to loan him out to Real Madrid to get his wages off the books to reinvest.
