I think you didn't have an interpretation with everything i wrote, because I'm talking to FM to bring methodology, and methodology is not just based on a single season, but on attributes/consistency. However, FM is about the season, so if I have to buy a new game every year, for a new season, I want to see that player's attributes for that season. The VVD I'm talking about him, I don't care about his attributes in 2018, but yes, in 2023, that's the game I bought now. 2018 became 2018 on FM18. Right?
Now that I've explained it to you, you really want to compare the attributes of a CB that won 5 CL, and 1 WC, with a CB that didn't win any WC, playing poorly in the two that participated. It's in terrible shape, and you're telling me that VVD is better than Varane? Serious? One player is pure Marketing, the other has attributes to be one of the best in the world. I can name 10 CBs that are better than VVD. Same for Casemiro, how come he has worse attributes than Fabinho and Thiago from Liverpool? He has an overall 80/100. It is serious?
Liverpool, which is the team I'm attacking, is the team that has the best squad in FM23. So that's my accusation of 100% wrong attributes. And I'm feeling what the methodology is for these completely flawed attributes. FM has been updated recently according to the latest data. What data was it that made Liverpool continue with the best time in the world at FM23? A team that is in the middle of the table, that has more goals conceded than more than half of the PL teams, but has the Best CB in the world according to FM, and all players have an average of 80-90. ROFL
While United, which I cited as a counterpart, is 10x better than Liverpool this season in absolutely everything. It has attributes 70-80. ROFL
And I 100% disagree with you that Newcastle will have a bad season next year. Newcastle is a moment that will be TOP of the PL in the coming years. You forget that they were bought by the Saudi family, and unlike PSG, they are not investing in Marketing, but in a solid base with good players. Their project is fantastic and I'm glad it's working. This is where your thinking differs from mine. PSG, with media players, being one of the best in the world in a Farm League and all CL losing in a rout. Sometimes with consistent projects, having mediocre players on FM for not having Marketing.
Please note that I am using the example of 3 teams, such as Liverpool, United and Newcastle, as the post has already become large. If I had to present evidence of players and teams being both overrated and underrated, the post would be bible.
