I have been serving an apprenticeship in the lower leagues in my current career game and I have previously always looked to sign players who my scouts and coaches say are 'leading players' for their division. I have found with these kinds of players in my ranks, that I can achieve lots of success.
I have just moved to a new club in the top flight of Germany who are predicted to come mid-table. Due to a lack of funds, lack of interest from players and various other reasons, the best I have been able to cobble together is a team of players who have approximately 4 stars and are 'good players' for their division.
I was just wondering what I can expect from my current side in view of their average rating of 'good players' from my coaches. I presume that a player who is rated as a 'good player' for his division is generally an individual who will do well but not perform to an outstanding level over the season. Therefore, I figure that my squad should be able to achieve a top half of the table position with a bit of luck but will certainly not be able to challenge the top sides.
There seems to be a bigger gap between the second tier and top flight in FM08, in that it is harder to attract 'leading players' of the division to a smaller club.
well i would think it would be the average players in the division. not your gerrards or adebayors. but more divisional team players who wont perform to the top quality standards of a "leading player" every week.
so i am thinking you might be able to make the top half if its not your tatctics
