Samsung Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hello all, hope everyone is enjoying the FM09 Demo as much as me ^^ Hey just a question for you guys out there!! Do you guys think that stats are really that important? Do you only sign players with the best stats or do you find some players in the game play awesome regardless of their acutal stats? Like for me in FM08 Maxi Rodriguez playing striker would score pretty much every game, even though he isnt put into the game as a natural striker etc. Fernando Torres doesnt have perfect stats but scores like he is possessed to!!! Like I know they are world class players and all that but I am sure it happens in all levels of football. Soo... Do you guys just go buy all out best stat players or shop around and find guys who are performing much better then their stats suggest they play? OR did I just imagine all this and that stats do represent how good they'll be? Is there a technical explanation for this? Personally I sign players on reputation and see how they been performing so far for their team and stuff... I think this works best and signing players purely based on their stats isnt the best stratergy!! Feel free to rip lose and poon me I dont mind I just want to know what the general concenus is thanks all!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanstuff Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 The stats have to be relevant to their position - that is the main thing. I won't even thing about signing a striker who doesn't have decent off the ball, balance, technique and composure (as well as finishing of course). Physical stats are always nice of course, but an intelligent player will always do better than a purely physical one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikaruxkuma Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I tend to sign players who have stats required of my tactics. I don't usually look at their records, might have been that they didn't fit in their formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsung Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah I understand how the stats have to be relevent to the position etc... But like some player have really good stats (I find Dutch players have great stats but dont perform as well as others... Could just be a placebo I have haha) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
