smith_tommy Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi Guys, Apologies if this has already been raised (couldn't find see that it has) or in the wrong forum. I have noticed that player ratings for centre-backs in particular are possibly too high. I was managing in the National League North last season and 5 of the top 5 rated players were all centre-backs despite my centre forward and York's centre forward both scoring 30 goals in the season. I've attached a game where I lost 2-1 yet my two highest rated players were my centre backs and the one with the highest rating gave away a penalty, this seems a bit off to me. Thanks.

smith_tommy Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I've attached another example to maybe highlight the differences. This game I won 7-3 (!) my striker who scored three, got a rating on 8.4 My centre half who conceded three got a rating of 7.4. But using the example in the original post, find it strange how a centre half who gives away a penalty can get a rating on 7.8 (in a 2-1 loss) which is only 0.6 less than a striker who scores a hat trick in a 7-3 win. Hope this helps! Fylde v Bromley.pkm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith_tommy Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Final example! A 3-0 loss but both my centre-backs get a 7.1 rating, no other members of our team did. Appreciate it's definitely my dodgy tactics but the ratings do seem excessive! FC Halifax v Fylde.pkm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddieos Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Centrebacks ratings are too high and attacking players slightly too low imo. Keepers slightly too low as well per usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanloup64 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 CB were poor guys during FM2020. Seems that they defend better now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumian83 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi, I totally agree that defenders have too high ratings, it doesn't matter if I won or lost the game. Strikers and wingers are underestimated (ratings definitely too low). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
