No Stars No Problem

  • Stars are the first thing you see on Football Manager. They are the welcoming equivalent of an overall rating as you wade into the very deep pool of being addicted to FM. Then over time, you should learn a very valuable lesson. The stars lie to you. The stars deceive you. Potential ability is what your eyes and attributes tell you it should be, not some random staff member.
    I had a consummate example of this on my team with Taunton Town. A legend named Nick McCootie. A player who was never regarded highly in his star rating given by my staff, but a player who fit my tactic perfectly and performed insanely well given the situations Football Manager threw at him.
    Much Love,
    FM Senpai

    It's just so satisfying when you get a player like that, you feel like a true manager discovering a hidden gem. In my Leicester career, I signed Ladislav Almási from the Czech more or less midtable side Baník Ostrava, because I liked that he's extremely tall but still kinda technical. The board and fans both gave me an F for the transfer, but he ended up turning into Jan Koller 2.0 and became a two-time Champions League top goalscorer 😂 Just like you said, the most important thing with strikers is simply if they fit your tactics and vision, both in fm and in real life.

He had 2.5 stars in his position, he was slow af, but what amazed me was his +15 free kicks, penalties, long throws and crossing attributes. At some point his star rating even dropped to 2 stars. I stayed with him being the starter LB in defense role and he ended season with 7 goals and 11 assists in league being our best player, nearly getting us promoted. I begged him to stay, but he retired next season, always being remember by me

      definitely. Do not go on what the game tells you 100%! Trust your own instinct and go from there. I had a guy in norway who was very quick and had good acceleration and finishing. he was a striker/winger. The game was obsessed with telling me he's a winger. But a winger who can't cross?! I tried him up front and he disappeared out of games, I tried him occasionally as a winger just to tire out opponents and then i thought 'what if I retrain him as a shadow striker to use that pace and give him time to be flying at defenders with his pace late into the box. Yes. It worked lol

    Should also be mentioned that current form can massively impact your player's star rating. I've had plenty situations where a player on good form goes into bad form, and loses a star in like 2 months - despite attributes not changing at all.
    I had a similar thing with my Cliftonville save in 22, sticking with Ryan Curran and Joe Gormley despite having better alternatives, because they were such clutch goalscorers in spite of their below-average attributes. Those two dragged a semi-professional side to a Europa League round of 32.

      There are some things that seem to never change with FM that go all the way back to the CM days, which is if a player has limited Current Ability and only the right attributes for a role, he does better than a player with a better Current Ability. It's like they have less options as a player and concentrate on what they're good at.
      I think CA has more positive bearing than it used to 20 years ago. However, I still think that if your player is low CA for your level but has the right attributes, they'll overperform. Plus, I think they design the database so you see far fewer guys who are good at one or two things because they're overpowered.

    I'm currently playing with Besiktas, and in 2024, my 19 year old striker (Semih Kilicsoy) who spent his last year on loan in the 4th Turkish division and had a CA of 105 at the time, ended up scoring 65 goals across all leagues, and 42 in the Turkish süperlig, breaking the Turkish all time record and winning him the European golden boot ahead of Mbappé and Haaland. That's the most crazy thing I've ever seen. Two years later he's still my best player even though his CA is still much lower than anybody's in the entire squad and his value is barely 10 milion euros.

    This reminds me, when I wanted to go from the lowest English League to Premier League with Bath, I had a player whom was 5 stars in the beginning, but once we hit premier league he was like a half star… yet, he was my highest performing player. So I let him keep playing, until he got a long term injury, and I gave him a fair shot of coming back into the lineup but alas, the dust had worn off. That’s what I love about FM. Sometimes it’s a matter on how the player just synergies with the team, tactics, management, etc. that just clicks and then they just perform… despite FM doesn’t change a huge ton annually, it still has significant depth and nuance to the game and a shitton under the hood. It’s amazing.

      I think the star ratings only really relate to the hidden CA/PA numbers. McCootie is extremely one footed and has terrible balance/composure, which suggests low CA. A better Judging Ability attribute will only tell you more accurately that he has a lower CA, not that the reason he has a low CA may not cause him to actually play badly.

He's tall, strong, has reasonable finishing, but he just can't stop scoring. 20+ goals each season. But because he's so good in the air, he's great for flick-ons and set pieces.

      It's current and potential ability judging that dictate how accurate the stars will be, which isn't too accurate at all, and certainly nowhere near as accurate as what Zealand called 'the eye test'. Just get them out there on the training pitch, reward the ones who train well with game time, drop the ones who train badly, keep doing that the whole time, and from doing that you will eventually get to know who the useful players are and aren't in your squad. Forget about stars. Play the players who work hard through the week, and play them in positions which seem to best match up to their attributes and traits.

    That'd be an interesting experiment - what star ratings are given by staff of varying "judging player ability/potential" ratings. If someone has 1 for both judging ability and potential, how much worse are they than someone with 20? Does it actually make a significant difference in terms of judging your own players as well as judging players not at the club? Does it affect just the players the recommend or do they just become clueless with star ratings? My guess is that the difference would be much smaller than you'd expect - maybe half a star at most.

    Yes, I had my record breaking goalscorer with 2-2,5 stars in Vanarama South with 59 goals all season. He was a beast in both the league and the cups. The name is Jack Stainrod BTW.

    I’m relatively new to fm yet I decided to play it with my friends in a network game I picked chesterfield and oh my god Tshimanga was so unbelievabley good in his first season he got over 60 goals he still plays regularly enough but I bought a new striker in Kyle hudlin who is a giant to stick all of my corners and set pieces on.

    Is there a way to change who provides the position/role/duty ability report in the tactics screen or is it always the assistant manager's responsability?

    I played with AIK in Sweden a youth player had 1,5 stars, all my strikers got covid (mod) so I had to use him, he scored a hat-trick, after that he was my starting striker and got 3rd in the internal goal scorers list (in just half the games as the rest of the squad)

    Very similar player in my save is Kyle Hudlin. By far the worst player according to stars but is consistently my top scorer. He's 6ft9" and just spanks them in from everywhere with every part of his body

    I had an atletic striker with the trait shoot with power in FM12. He just couldn't stop skyrocketting the ball even 3 yards away from the goal, so I benched him and never used such a guy again in the last 10 years.
    But maybe I had just bad luck... lol

    As a fm player for like the last couple of years, I really struggle with seeing the difference between a GOOD player and a GREAT player. Is there a way you can make a video where you compare sort of similar players and explain why the one would be worth 40 mil while the other might not even be worth it to take.

    I know nobody plays in wales, but Mike Williams for Llangefni is an absolute STUD. Once a 5 star rating, he is now only 2.5 in the premiership and is still averaging a quality 7.8. It baffles me how much better he is than my new 4-star CBs. A jumping reach of 17 and not being an absolute moron gets you pretty far in Welsh football!
