The Most USELESS Players

In FM 15? Toni Kroos.

Bought him bunch of times and had few Real saves. Every time he is absolute garbage. In my most recent save I ended up benching Kroos, and playing 17 year old Ruben Neves with 120 CA and 5-7 points below in all the key stats for the role (DLP-S) and he's actually performing significantly better. Better pass accuracy, more key passes, more goals, game rates him 7.1 points on average, compared to 6.6 for Kroos.

I don't know what the **** is up with that. I peeked in the editor and even the hidden stats point out that Kroos should be godlike, but he's simply ****.

Using Kroos at DM or CM? Guess he'll be perfect as an APM in an attacking role at CM..
He's rated among the best cm's on my game going into 2020 now!

I had got Daniel De Rossi on a Liverpool save in this edition.. I guess in 2016 or so.. and he was poor! Couldn't dictate games or anything, and within the season I sold him, more or less broke even, except for those wages!
Liverpool and Italians.. I should have known better than that!

Raphael Varane was solid for me when u bought him for $35m a few years later, and he performed pretty well. My issue? His injuries! He missed 3 months out of 11, take away a couple of months of vacation, and it's like a third of a season! Sold him for $55m so not a regret as such, but his injury stats are like insane!
