nah, there is already a post in the forums showing that the same CAs can perform very differently. Suppose there are 2 players with 150 CA. But one gets most of its CA from physicals while the other gets it from technicals, the first player would outperform the latter. It just happens that most high CA players also have good physicals. But you can see this play scenario play out in old strikers who have high CAs but bad physicals because of their age. Or, look at Kane. One of the highest CA player but constantly underperforms in the game because of his low physicals. This is also why many veterans recommend against looking purely at the CA.

I used @Blau's https://fm-arena.com/thread/7174-cameron-4-2-3-1-bal/. While most players finished the season without injury, the average player rating has definitely dropped. Probably because the stats have been reduced so much, the players have become weaker, but I still managed to get a score of 87. So unless there's a special patch, I don't think I should worry too much about these stats. Thanks for testing! Expand

The final result seems to have changed, though. He came second and did not win the UCL as Manchester City, a team that can usually walk the league, especially when managed by the player. But, 87 points in the Premier League and UCL QF with 3 attributes set to 1 across the whole team is ridiculous, lol. This game is truly just an Athletics Manager at this point.

That's why no real possession focused play style works "really" good in FM.
