Player ratings should be based on performance. A striker that cost £5m is more than likely going to get 4/10 week in week out if they are playing in the Premier League because that price tag gets you a certain skill set (probably League 1 quality now). They may have the odd game which they play out of there skin that warrants higher regardless of who they are playing. Likewise a player that cost £50m should be scoring 8/10 more or less every game in the Premier League because £50m gets you an outstanding player (well should do depending who the buying club are).dandeclaret wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 1:42 pmImagine it's you Bf2k - you're playing up front against James Tarkowski or a 10 year old kid - how do you think that would impact your ability to get into the game and influence it? Then take that 11 vs 11 - and as a striker, isloated, or as a midfielder over ran 3 vs 2 against better individual players, vs playing a vets team with no legs. Opposition stop you from doing that stuff, or vs a team of similar ability. If 1 player doesn't do their job, the system fails.
Your argument, extrapolated, would question why you'd pay more for a striker at Real Madrid than at Fleetwood. Cos they can both Collect the ball, hold it up, and bring others into play, and be in good positions - that's why they're professional footballers. So why wouldn't Liverpool sign him, cos he'd be a million times cheaper than the lad they signed from real madrid.
Last night Brady, Brownhill & Wood had OK games, nothing which made me think they were anything more. Therefore, despite the result & how much they cost, on the way they played in that game I thought they were OK and I rated as I saw fit. I thought Brownhill got over run in midfield (my opinion on how I saw the game) so how can I rate him up there with Tarks & Pope when I thought they were outstanding...regardless of who they were up against.
Another example, I didn't get to rate against MK Dons but I thought Norris was a solid 8. He did all that could have been asked of him and was brilliant against int he shootout. But because this was against MK Dons should I only have scored 6?
