Exellent said: Hey, I tested your latest rating build, and it’s a complete disaster.
your super rating says that Shota Fukuoka is better than Bastoni. Spoiler Expand
I've inputted the stats shown for Fukuoka into FM24. I ended up with 131 instead of 135 CA, probably because of some lacking DL/DR/weak foot proficiency, but that's no issue. The only other difference is that I've changed Fukuoka's nation to England, so that his low adaptability doesn't mess with things.
Here is the result:
82% | Kim Min Jae (DC) - 3rd, 3rd, 6th, 6th, 3rd, 4th, 5th = 4.286 position 75% | Kurt Zouma (DC) - 7th, 5th, 6th, 3rd = 5.6 position 73% | Shota Fukuoka (DC) [Exellent version] = 7th, 8th, 7th, 8th, 8th, 11th = 8.166 position 71% | Sean Goldberg (DC) - 5th, 16th (sacked), 8th (sacked), 5th = 8.5 position
I'm using the FMST26 % as that is more accurate and what I always refer to, but you can see the difference is only 73% vs 75% anyway.
Kurt Zouma is quite similar to Bastoni if you compare the stats:
But I will also do a clone of Bastoni for comparison so that there's no doubt about it.
This is all a good test of my claims, because this way no one can say it's only valid for cherrypicked players.
While I'm doing Bastoni I do notice that he is actually 77.9% in FMST26, for FM24 (where he has largely the same stats). Anyone can verify this by loading up FMST26 with my weights and checking Bastoni.
So based on the rankings you see above, as well as 78% | Jules Kounde (DR), I would expect Bastoni to come ~4.8 position on average, but we'll see.
82% | Kim Min Jae (DC) - 3rd, 3rd, 6th, 6th, 3rd, 4th, 5th = 4.286 position 77% | Alessandro Bastoni (DC) [Exellent version] - 3rd, 5th, 5th, 3rd, 3rd, 7th = 4.333 position 75% | Kurt Zouma (DC) - 7th, 5th, 6th, 3rd = 5.6 position 73% | Shota Fukuoka (DC) [Exellent version] - 7th, 8th, 7th, 8th, 8th, 11th = 8.166 position 71% | Sean Goldberg (DC) - 5th, 16th (sacked), 8th (sacked), 5th = 8.5 position
I withdraw saying that Fukuoka is better than Bastoni. My mistake was to assume that the GS rating reflected the FMST26 rating.
But we see here that the rating for both players in FMST26 aligns correctly.
I got ahead of myself because I know that Maeda & Furuhashi are slightly better than Lautaro Martinez, even though Martinez has better attributes in literally almost every way - except dirtiness and injury proneness, and the case looked at a glance to be the same here.
So there is a translation to GS problem here.
Now if I compare DC % between FMST26 and GS, the following players have significant discrepancies (2% or more, when both are adjusted to 77.9% max):
Declan Rice - 77.1% (FMST26) vs. 74.76% (GS) = -2.34% Fiyako Tomori - 71.9% (FMST26) vs. 74.33% (GS) = +2.43% Nacho - 70.9% (FMST26) vs. 73.51% (GS) = +2.61% Levi Colwill - 71.1% (FMST26) vs. 73.27% (GS) = +2.17% Shota Fukuoka [Exellent version] - 69.3% (FMST26) vs. 73.32% (GS) = +4.02% Pantelis Hatzidiakos - 69.1% (FMST26) vs. 72.10% (GS) = +3.00% Cristian Romero - 69.1% (FMST26) vs. 71.96% (GS) = +2.86% Pascal Struijk - 68.8% (FMST26) vs. 71.88% (GS) = +3.08% Federico Dimarco - 74.0% (FMST26) vs. 71.72% (GS) = -2.28% Maxence Lacroix - 68.7% (FMST26) vs. 71.69% (GS) = 2.99%
That's 10 out of the top 70 players (14.3%), and he happened to find the worst one of the bunch, so overall I'm not too concerned. Bastoni has a 1.6% underrating in GS.
Maeda, who benefits from the high negative dirtiness and injury proneness values (he has '2' and '3' respectively) already had to be compromised down from 4th in FMST26 to 16th in GS, so it's a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation with GS. This is just the limit of GS. No doubt it could be improved a bit, but it's not going to be able to match FMST26.
A more appropriate example to compare to Bastoni is Illia Zabarnyi, whom Exellent castigated, as Zabarnyi also has very low dirtiness (2) & injury proneness (3), but has an equal rating to Bastoni in FMST26 (both ~78%)
78% | Illia Zabarnyi (DC) - 3rd, 5th, 4th, 5th, 2nd = 3.8 position 82% | Kim Min Jae (DC) - 3rd, 3rd, 6th, 6th, 3rd, 4th, 5th = 4.286 position 77% | Alessandro Bastoni (DC) [Exellent version] - 3rd, 5th, 5th, 3rd, 3rd, 7th = 4.333 position 75% | Kurt Zouma (DC) - 7th, 5th, 6th, 3rd = 5.6 position 73% | Shota Fukuoka (DC) [Exellent version] - 7th, 8th, 7th, 8th, 8th, 11th = 8.166 position 71% | Sean Goldberg (DC) - 5th, 16th (sacked), 8th (sacked), 5th = 8.5 position
Note: I capped Zabarnyi's PA to just above CA so that he wouldn't grow during the season.
You can see here why I automatically assumed Fukuoka was better than Bastoni, on the basis of his very low dirtiness and injury proneness.
I didn't set dirtiness at such a high negative weighting for the heck of it.
I know it's unintuitive but I'm just reflecting what the data shows. And actually this is the most clear cut example I've seen, for with Maeda you have stuff like work rate and anticipation clouding it a bit. But here, Zabaryni literally has no other advantage than +3 composure, and many disadvantages (including in meaningful attributes!).
I challenge anyone to try and explain why Zabarnyi finishes higher than Bastoni looking at the comparison above, without concluding dirtiness and injury proneness has a massive impact.
Now I have had the thought that it could be that low dirtiness is the necessary cherry on top at the highest level, but diminishes in relative importance at lower levels. I lean towards no, but we'll cross this bridge when we come to it - I figure that the most common, or final goal, is to win at a high level in the game, and so that is what I have remained focused on for now.
Rain said: We could really solve this "which file is best?" problem pretty easily. Take whichever files say your original, pure performance, prem 2.1, keith, etc. and just use each file to make a team in the league based on the best player you can buy for 1 mil and under (Should filter out teams using a bunch of the same top players) and if they do have the same player just clone them. Then just run the league a good amount of times and take the median results. Expand
Currently running sims it will probably take a while to get a good sample size. Took me forever just setting it up for 5 teams. There's definitely dupes (Especially pure performance team), but should be different enough. Had to avoid the big 3 FA GKs in the original db as they would have been in every team (De Gea, Leno, Neto) Although ended up with a few Ochoa anyway.

I couldn't include every attribute, there's some limit occurring in FMSS, but it'll only be a few minor ones missing. I had to take off professionalism from outfield though. You could swap 'Balance: 3.03' for 'Professionalism: 3.19' if you like.
I've simplified dirtiness & injury proneness. I also can't verify the accuracy at all because it's FM26 only.
