A Brand New Genie Scout rating system - Please Test!

by Chriswin4, Dec 30, 2023

Good Afternoon,

You may remember me making a post about finding a metric to evaluate players to one solid number, in the thread 'We need a metric for player eval' and I've come to the conclusion that this would take a lot of testing, as was pointed out to me on here.

Anyway, I went to lab and with help from KeithB on here, I've devised my own Genie Scout rating file based on what I think the Match Engine values on each position. I've totally ignored sweeper because it's not 1990. This might not value the players in your game as highly as others, but in theory, it should put people who are the likely top performers in the ME in a certain position to the top of the rankings list.

I would love it if you guys could give this a download and test it on your saves, looking at whether it places the best performers in your worlds in the correct place on Genie Scout. If it works then I'll try and get the weights into a python for ease.

Also, one thing I may have missed, on each position tab in Genie Scout there is a weight value, I didn't fully grasp what this did so left it at 100 for each position. Let me know if this is something that should change. Also be sure to please post some screenshots of players in-game and what they are rated by my Genie Scout rating system.

Just download the file, place it in the Ratings Folder in your FM Genie Scout 2024 directory, then load these ratings in Genie once you've loaded your save game in FM.

Thanks a lot guys,
Chris

Using your rating system in my current save, there is one in particular that catches my attention and I would like to ask the people on the forum which of these 2 they would choose to play on their team.

Currently your rating puts Odriozola as a 68% rating, compared to Wembangomo with a 61% for the DR/WBR position.

It is obvious that in everything other than physical statistics, Odriozola is better, but if we stick to the tests here, wouldn't Wembangomo be much superior in the match engine?

If everyone agrees, then I think the meta stats still need more importance in the ratings, cause 3 points I think are a huge difference.

Wembangomo la gazzella calabrese.

For what it is worth both ykykyky and MDW22 rate Odrizola as the better of the two assuming their DR positional ratings are both 20/20. Calculating them manually using ykykyky I have Odrizola 78.77% and Wembangomo 75.75%, and using MDW22 I make it Odrizola 78.60% and Wembangomo 73.73%.

I would also choose Wemby, simply because of his pace. However, my ratings shouldn't have someone so much further behind Odri, I may need to tweak the importance of pace and acceleration for each position, maybe put it up to 75.

Download this and try it, tell me what you think. In theory it should bump Wemby up nearer Odri in Genie Scout. I messed with the ratings for FB, WB, Fast Striker and Winger.

I literally have no clue what are those rating, but still at least on FM24 i would never go for Odrizola between the 2. Rating or not rating. I will soon release the Lincoln adventure that i am doing.

I am sure Stats are scaling in the wrong way possible. like after 10 some stats are literally doing nothing, i did noticed it by trying to build de zerbi possession/control tactic on FM24. Literally you can dominate possession easier with those gegenpress tactics. If you have the right players on the right positions.

Like with City, with "plugNplay" tactics you will reach very easy 55% possession. And if you literally go after possession you can get out 65%. But you will lose too much in this transition.

I mean we should analyze how much Physical/Mentality are scaling but i don't even know if that's is any worth "project" since they might change everything for FM25

Wemby: 76,08 DR / 73,31 WBR
Odry: 83,25 DR / 81,57 WBR

Dont know if these results are more accurate for you, i would still choose the fastest player anyways following test here. But maybe im wrong and odry is far better in the match engine... i really dont know

I think every test/about the game is worth, especially here in this website, each of us is here for that exact reason 😀

What i meant isn't something easy to compile. Literally every stats should be calculate how affect the M.E. after a certain point. That's why i said it might not worth if they gonna change it all for FM25

What did they said about FM25? Cause its SI... probably they dont change nothing about how stats work lmao

I quickly did a rating system for genie scout after the FM arena attributes testing, I have great success with it but you can tweak it if you want to change the jumping reach for exemple. With this rating system Wemba is 74 and odri 69 if you wanna know. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2aefavu1ha5j1bi13e7zj/FM-arena.grf?rlkey=qqcqoqt4o2t0t06b37j11mefz&dl=0

Now that makes me giddy, although are your two players different from the ones in Nandal's save?

With the exact same attributes in Nandal's save I got 68.7% for odriozola and 74.6% for wemba.
I am not saying my ratings are better I only used the attributes tested by FM arena and made it a rating and not all attributes were tested. With this rating there is pretty much only physical that matters. It considers adama traore one of the best players in the world for example...

How does Adama Traore play in the game?? I'm actually starting to think the attributes don't necessarily make individual players better, but the more pace you have, the more chances your team makes and the better your results, ergo the better that player does by association.

I mean he is doing good when he plays but here I tested 11 seasons with Adama at PSG as IF at in the box levante tactic and then 1 season same conditions with vinicius junior who has a rating 0.02% lower than adama for this position. We clearly see the performance gap. It shows how my ratings are not complete.

I think any reasonable ranking system would have Odriozola better (and this is the case with all 4 rankings I have set up in GS right now).  He’s a legit Premier League player.  The other guy is a League One player that’s a bit faster.

That's true, I don't think anyone thinks Wemby should be rated higher, but in terms of what's important to the game, he is better to have. That's why we want a GS rating to reflect that, so we can future identify good Match Engine players.

Not sure it's so incredibly obvious that he performs better in the match engine

They have pretty similar performances. Quickly tested for 1 season each. 1st screen is Wemba, second is odri

You say Wembangomo shouldn’t be rated higher, but then you say you he *is* better and you want a rating system to rate him higher. So I don’t think you can mean both.  In my opinion he will not perform better in the match engine, in fact he will be substantially worse.  You shouldn’t interpret single attribute tests to mean that only pace and acceleration matter. If there was a test of increasing all attributes except pace and acceleration I’m confident that would outperform the increase only in pace or acceleration.  And this is what is reflected in the the various ratings that are available.  There are strikers faster than Haaland in the game but they don’t perform as well because they don’t have stats close to him in all the other areas.  If they had 20 pace and acceleration and a current ability in the 190s and great hidden attributes then maybe they would be better, but no player with a 140-150 CA can be close to him.

Trying to test your ratings but the link says file not found for some reason.

Single attribute test also show that agility, balance, jumping reach and dribbling are very important. I don't think there is any striker who is overall higher than Haaland in these attributes (tied with Mbappe prob).

It’s been a week so the link has expired, can you try the one I posted later on the thread?

It's highly unlikely, bordering on impossible, that there will be another player as good as Haaland even if you play 1000 seasons. He is the best striker by a long way. What he does show is is that dribbling isn't essential if other attributes such as the ones you mention, along with speed which we already know, are that high. Mbappe is great but he isn't close to Haaland imo.

This is exactly the truth, he’s a unicorn 🦄 in the game. Everything is so high, it’s almost impossible to train regens to be like him because his skills are so widespread and high

Is that Mac?? I’m not sure, check the genie scout website for
Mac compatibility, but in terms of my file, I’ll reupload it today.
