OP... Your player isn't even that impressive, maybe it's basically I'm into the mid 2030's but he wouldn't even get into my team... Surely you've encountered a more impressive/well rounded player? Just my humble opinion.

Letting the club pick is the worst ever, they regularly come back with teams in like 5th tier of Spanish football.. What's the f-ing point.

Anyone else wish the bookmakers in football manager could somehow transcend into real life? Imagine the money that could be made. The odds are beyond laughable. Not lost a home game in the league for 5-6 years yet I'm priced up as slight favourite at 7-4 against Arsenal (who are mid table...

I must be misinformed then. They seem incredibly low CA's for those players - my bad. Further reinforces my point then about misunderstanding them. It must be based on far more than just raw attributes, more so the effectiveness of those attributes to a specific role etc. Cheers for that

There's no downside to his game - at least in a realistic sense (obviously he could be 20 across the board). I'm asking what gives him such a lowly potential ability rating in relation to his great attributes and hidden ones. Like I said, it's purely out of interest as you'd expect those set...

Yeah, I play with two inside forwards and a complete forward, so he's pretty useless in the system - which is a shame! Just another example of a low CA/PA of 175 but look at this beast.... http://i.imgur.com/OLmShdw.png?1

I agree and like I said I ignore them by and large when choosing who plays and who doesn't... Seems to work far better by just using your own intuition to gauge who is good and has a good spread of attributes. My original post is purely trying to ascertain what it means potential wise, as 179...

In response to the comment on my midfielder: I meant in terms of his potential ability, I am just trying to understand what potential ability means... As for me Bocanegra is one of the best all round midfielders I've had on this game. Trying to see what makes him rated the same as say, Tom...

My 200 PA rated striker, feel pressured to play him due to that fact... But truth is, his attributes are pretty **** and he doesn't perform properly. Maybe I'm writing him off way too early ... But 10 dribbling in a formation where I want a complete forward isn't great

My 179 rated midfielder, how is he rated so low? Sidenote; he's a beast isn't he? For 2.5 million.

I've been on my Spurs save for 20 years, my best player by far was a striker with only 183 PA. He broke all records for me and when down as a record - with a career spanning over 15 years. I don't recruit youngsters via genie scout but I check it one in a while to see just how good my eye is...

Was loving this story and was so engrossed (at least in the Barca side, skipped the national side aspect) However, I feel it's been somewhat ruined by the signing of other players from different clubs, despite sticking to them being 'Spanish'. Perhaps the rules could have been bent that you...

Poor showing to cheat; really ruined this story for me,
