See the full article here
I have sampled each and every playable club in the game for their real median PA values. This is the best indicator of newgen quality. I explain why in the article, but basically the PA of the best player in the intake is much more random than the median PA, which is quite stable and is a good indicator of expected quality.
I have then weighted the quality of each division with the processing time for the division, to create a ranking of what leagues should be loaded and which aren't worthwhile. You can read my earlier article which explores processing time here.
A few examples of my findings:
- South Korea is one of the best leagues to load
- Colombia has 17 clubs with 100+ median PA (for comparison, Greece only has 2)
- Argentina Div 2 isn't worth it due to the high number of mediocre clubs in a burgeoning division (worse than South Africa when weighted)
- Chile Div 1 is even worse than Argentina Div 2
- France Div 2 is better than many other options, including the first divisions of Belgium, Portugal, Denmark and Austria.
- Romania has a 130 PA club (FC Viitorul), but the rest of the division was so mediocre that it makes Romania Div 1 not worth selecting overall
In the future I will be releasing the full data (i.e. exact median PA values I recorded for each individual club) if there is enough interest
All feedback, questions and suggestions welcome
