    Apologies for the late reply.

    Crewe site lists him as 170cm - as per: https://www.crewealex.net/teams/first-team/defender/luke-offord/

    Would rather go off the official site than some estimation by the manager.

    I wouldn't go with that myself mate, official websites are rarely updated by the actual club and are taken from out of date databases. Having seen him a bit this season I'd have him higher than 170cm for sure but still doesn't look 6'1" to me :lol:

    Luke Offord of Crewe Alexandra is down as being 5'7" in the game, but he's actually 6'1".

    This has been confirmed by the Crewe Alexandra manager Dave Artell during a recent interview regarding his new contract (this also needs updating in the game).

    He looks nowhere near 6ft 1in to me and I've seen him up close. Taller than 5ft 7in but wouldn't say he's above 6ft.

    Having watched Luke Jephcott in the last two Wales u21s games I think his Strength and Jumping could go up a little and his Pace come down. Did quite well against Germany's centre halves in the air for a relatively short player but couldn't get near them otherwise. Bullish, old school physical number 9 trying to back in and cause trouble, but lacks the technical quality to look like he'll push on up through the leagues in the future. PA range looks about right.

    I'm not sure on his jumping going higher personally. Feel like it'll develop into a 10/11 at his peak in game which I think would be about right for him. He's got a good spring unopposed but still don't think he's great in duels. Strength is something I've been monitoring and agree it probably could be 1 or 2 higher he's been getting a lot better at using his body and has bulked up a fair bit too.

    Pace not sure, he's very good over long distances Luke just never really shows it often as a lot of his work is in small areas nowadays. 

    He's a bit different in a 2 man strike force too compared to how he played for Wales (at least on Friday which I watched).

    Don’t know if you’d agree but I’d say Dom Telford finishing is a bit to high at 13, personally based on what I’ve seen of him say it’s more a 10 or 11.

    Whilst it's great having feedback, this thread is really just for data issues and not just picking out individual attributes. I think Dom is a good finished. If you want to privately message me with anything specific feel free to but please try and just keep this to issues.

    He's becoming a regular callup now for Wales u21s but not a regular starter, behind players like Mark Harris and Liam Cullen in the pecking order. "League Two standard" is the general level of our u21s - see Brandon Cooper for a long-time regular starter. Some even have to drop below that for club football.

    One of which actually has a lower ability than Jephcott in game too. 

    I'm hoping he plays for the U21's on Friday as I'll be watching, will be interesting to see him in a different environment.

    - Ladapo - He's had an increase on last year. Where Ladapo lacks is his decision's & goes missing a lot in games. The ratings are mainly from last season and i'm sure you will agree they have both been poor so far this season. So for now I'll leave them the same. 

    For me Freddie should have increased anticipation and off the ball. Personally would have at 14 Ant and 13 for OTB.

    Plymouth Argyle. I know bias comes into it but every year I feel we get hard done by on FM CA/PA ratings, most of our squad is down as having League Two quality when we’ve started really well in League One. Best example of this is Luke Jephcott, scored 7 goals in 14 starts at aged 19 and now aged 20 in league one has 6 goals in 8 games. showing lots of promise as a poacher but game has him as league two standard with potential to be League One player. He’s already proving more than capable at this level at the age of 20 and is a regular Callum for Wales u21’s. As with our 20 year old goalkeeper Mike Cooper. Also believe other players such as Panutche Camara, and Conor Grant are deserving of a few stat boosts but understand this is subjective and opinion. 

    Jephcott is rated based on starting 12 games before this season. I've watched him play and train since he was 16 years old and his current ability reflects the fact he can play in League 1 whilst his potential ability as pointed out by @santy001 could potentially reach low end PL ability but is dynamic and could change. His attributes fairly reflect him as of the start of this season in my opinion, he has all the attributes in place that are getting him goals in real life (anticipation and off the ball) with his finishing also being at a good level too. I've seen plenty of players have the form he's had in real life have purple patches and am definitely not going to get carried away by a player riding a wave at the moment.

    Mike Cooper is rated as the best goalkeeper at the club with a very good potential too. It's worth noting he hadn't started a league game for the club before this season and again is another I've watched train and play since he was 16 years old.

    Camara - The majority of his profile has been rated on his performances at Crawley. Have you seen him more times than the Crawley researcher has? What do you feel deserves to be increased?

    Conor Grant - Has received an upgrade since the last game but not sure how he could be considered for a further upgrade personally? What is it about his profile that you feel should be different as personally I do not feel anything can be higher than it is.

    My overall message is not to get carried away by the form from the beginning of the season, especially when the club is riding a wave. Sheffield United is my prime example where they did unbelievably last year off the back off a very successful few years but the level of ability of their players hasn't changed massively apart from a few.
