should have checked my team against the filters first before posting my CL Plea for help as I found some holes that I need to address.
Mate, if you used the filters and found some players and bought them then it doesn't mean that now you have a team that is easily able to win Champions League.
The filters just show you such players that have their CA’s spent in the efficient way for the tactic and that’s all, there mighty very different quality players between the players that the filters show.
For example, if we use the DLF filter with some club as Real Madrid that has a very good scouting knowledge and a reputation that allows get any player then we’ll get this list of players:
As you can see there are many different quality players, for example, it shows Robert Lewandowski and Gustavo Bou same time but it doesn’t mean if you buy Gustavo Bou then the tactic will show the same performance as if you bought Robert Lewandowski.
Robert Lewandowski is 178 CA player and Gustavo Bou is only 136 CA player. Here’s their CA:
And if we compare them then we’ll see that Robert Lewandowski has many attributers 1-3 points higher than Gustavo Bou:
As you can see Robert Lewandowski is faster Gustavo Bou and that allows him to beat more often opposition’s defenders than Gustavo Bou and because of it have more scoring chances.
As you can see Robert Lewandowski is stronger than Gustavo Bou and that allows him to win more often 50%/50% challenges vs opposition’s defenders than Gustavo Bou and because of it have more scoring chances.
As you can see Robert Lewandowski has better the “Off The Ball” attribute than Gustavo Bou and that allows him have more scoring chances.
Also, if you look the weak foot’s rating then you’ll see that Robert Lewandowski has “14” rating for the weak foot and Gustavo Bou has only “10” rating for the weak foot and this mean that Gustavo Bou misses much passes and shoots when uses his weak foot than Robert Lewandowski does and it makes Robert Lewandowski much better player.
I can continue this list but I’m sure you understand what I’m talking about.
When you play in Champions League you compete with teams that have 170-180 CA players in their starting elevens and that gives them a huge advantage.
Heh, no need to underestimate the importance of the attributes in this game. You can make an experiment, just try to use any default tactic from the game with Barcelona and you’ll see that probably win the league and then try to use the same tactic with the weakest team in the league Getafe and you’ll see a big difference.
It only may look that just few points difference in attributes doesn’t matter but it’s a wrong thinking every additional point increase in some attributes increases your chances to win and this game isn’t only about the tactic but it’s also about getting the best players to your team to do good, especially, if you participate in some top level competition as Champions League and even with the best possible tactic you’ll be struggling in Champions League if you have a team that consist of 140 CA players, of course, it’s still possible to win CL with such team but you need to be lucky to do that.
The filters just show you such players that have their CA’s spent in the efficient way for the tactic but you should try to get the best players from these players(players with the higher CA possible). As you can see it isn’t too hard to see which player has higher CA even without 3rd party programs.
