Changing player PA

[mstrmind5]

Hi All,

 

So I am playing FM19 and decided to change Gabriel Martinellis PA in the pre game editor. I saved it and started a new game using that saved database, but I am not seeing a change in his PA when I start a new game. I know the PA is a range but changing it in the editor isn't showing in game. I don't have any problems changing and seeing the PA change from other players. Could the fact he is playing for such a low down club, Ituano, be having an impact on the PA or might have I done something wrong?

 

Thanks

How are you checking the PA after the game ha started?

Scout reports (I know it's not entirely reliable to do it this way).

I'm guessing the scouts are reporting his PA as lower than what it could be is because of the club and/or league he plays in and are marking his PA down. I guess the only way to do this is to actually sign him, but that would mean having to holiday a season and sign him to see, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't messed it up and wanted to ask why it might be lower.

Bear in mind that the scouts star ratings are reported as comparisons with others in the team and are not an accurate record of his actual PA

Also, I'm fairly sure that the reputation of a player and the club that he plays for has an impact on Scout Recommendations.
