splishysplash123 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 In FM20 I swear the game generates twice as many 5-star potential strikers as any other position, with Wingers in 2nd and virtually 0 all-world center backs or center mids. I experienced this over the case of many years, was this just an anomaly or is it true for others as well? If so, is it still the case in FM21, and should it be changed, or do you all like it? Personally, I wish they popped up at an equal rate at each position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vänsterback Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 The stars represent your staffs PERCEIVED current/potential ability IN RELATION to other players. Not the player's actual ability. Also young attacking players are always more hyped than defensive players so SI perhaps want to represent that in the game by building in some kind of bias in the PPA (perceived potential ability) algorithm. It would make some kind of sense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you name the biggest prospects in World football right now, how many would be defenders compared to strikers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stars take into account the form of the current player so if you have a young player that is playing very well in the youth league where he is too good to be at like scoring a goal every game his star rating will go more than his actual ability. Attacking players has a natural advantage over defenders in terms of form. I have seen a player going from 3 star to 5 star due to good form alone.

MaxRMG Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 that's a simple way to judge youngsters, from my experience if you see the a generic price asked maybe you can get an idea of the real potential, if the owner team don't want to sell there's a lot of potential out there.
