flere-imsaho Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not sure if this is the correct sub-forum, but I've been a loyal T&TD reader for years, so feel comfortable posting it in here. Anyway, I have my scouts trying to dig up good numbers of young (in this case under 20) players to poach for my somewhat cash-strapped team. I'm finding that an inordinate number my scout feels are some version of "inconsistent" (as a weakness). Compared to players my scouts find over 20 I'd say a rough estimate is five times as many young players have this comment. My head scout (who re-reviews anyone who looks promising) is 16 determination, 16 CA, 18 PA, so I tend to trust his assessments. I'm wondering, then, if "inconsistency" is something that we should expect to see more in younger players and if they're still young it can either be trained out of them, or they can grow out of it with experience. Has anyone looked into this or otherwise has theories? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 If they play a lot their consistency will improve since i've seen the "fairly inconsistent" dissapear from the coach reports after some time. Should happen with inconsistent players as well but it should take longer, personally i don't sign the inconsistent ones but only the fairly inconsistent players.

pigfacemonkeyman Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It comes in three flavours, a 'Fairly Inconsistent', b 'Inconsistent', c 'Very Inconsistent'. the values I have seen for the hidden attribute 'Consistency' are a=8,7,6 b=5,4 c=2,1 out of 20. Never seen a 3, but a couple of 9s weren't reported as 'fairly inconsistent'. Personally would only consider 'Fairly Inconsistent', and then only if he has a good personality and I am confident I could get him tutored. I don't know if this attribute rises due to match experiences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Most young players will have some level of inconsistency, until they prove themselves regularly. First team football, good individual and team performances will be the biggest aid to improving consistency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flere-imsaho Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks folks - all very helpful. Looks like I'll take more of a flier on young players in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarmatian Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It definitely improves. Back in the day I used FMRTE to try and figure out how stuff works under the hood and consistency improves for sure, usually not more than five points during the entire career. As player gets older, he naturally gets more consistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
