Coaches are known to be wrong on occasion

efc

I don't know about CM4. But in CM3, most coaches are blind. When I played my first ever CM game, at the very start, I got rid of the players based on my coaches' opinions, and boy did I regret it. In one of my previous games, I had a player with an average rating of 7.80, highest of all players. Just for laugh, I then asked my coaches' opinions on this guy. They told me to put him on the transfer list! Maybe they knew that my finance was tight!

Your keeper probably has low values in Teamwork and Workrate. I had a keeper in my game who was fantastic for LLM, finished the season allowing about 0.7 gp90, with half of his appearances clean slates. He never suffered any injury. He never complained, and his morale was consistently high. He was the runner-up for league player of the year. He was only 20, and constantly selected for my nations U-21 squad. But my coaches would call him "overrated" or "reckon he is a useful member of the squad." Useful? The guy was easily the most important member of the team, by the way I figured. Anyways, he had 1s in the afformentioned attributes, so I guessed that the coaches figured him for lazy primadonnna, despite his stellar performances.

They were the ones in the crowd chanting "Who ate all the pies?"

I find in CM 01/02 coaches tell you what they think you want to hear. Don't expect any great insight from them, unless they are very good and can pick penalty takers etc.
