FM23 - Created a Club in the Editor, but players generated way below league standard

[Connor]

Hi All

I am using the editor for the first time to create a club, so apologies first off if I am missing something very obvious. Process itself has worked which is great but in my tests, I am super struggling with how uncompetitive the team are 

For context I am adding a team to the conference south, but literally the best player generated and seen as 5 star current ability is not even at conference south level (comes up as being only of regional division standard)

I have also added a reputation which matched one of the teams in the league, albeit it was the lowest one.

I suppose my questions are:

1) What can I do/change to effect the quality of the starting squad, in order that it is around a mid table team in the Conference South and generates equivalent quality players of that level in the editor

2) Is there anything else I should be doing around the game setup differently

Appreciate any help in advance

If you want better quality players in your created team, it's best that you add them manually. The players generated at the start of any game will always have a 130 PA cap. That's why the quality is not great.

Thanks!

Wouuld that be via the editor and how would you do this?

Yeah you'd create players in the editor, one thing you could do is set their CAs and PAs to a Conference South level, and fill in the role for autofill (it's a pretty easy setting to find). That way you don't have to fill in all their stats yourself. I will admit I've only ever toyed with this and never tried to make an entire team so it may take some trial and error
