I *love* the summary at the end with the leagues and how we think they'll do. A favorite of mine in a couple of saves I've done (including Newcastle United) was Alan Velasco form the MLS Dallas side.
I always think it's fun to look at players at different levels. Everybody knows your Kvaratskhelias and your Rafael Leãos, but who's gonna do the business when you're playing as Genk! Velasco is a great shout, too. Didn't do too great in the simulations, but he's only 20. A lot of potential there!
I tried Diego Lainez from mexico,in the first Winter transfer window. He Can dribble and is secure on the ball. Cost about 3 million. Doing pretty ok in La Liga.
It is my recommendation. Whilst I show the lowest ranked team he will SIGN for, I also make recommendations for what level I think they are at (which will often be above that lowest ranked team), and the projected leagues helps contextualise this. I look for players with a similar, but worse profile, who are still playing "well". For example, David Ajiboye. High dribbles, high shots, average goals, below average expected assists. He profiled similarly to Crysencio Summerville, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, and other capable players in the Championship, but his statistical output was roughly 10-25% higher (depending on the player compared to). League One is ranked 28th. The Championship is ranked 15th. That's a big jump up, and you would expect some regression in his performances at that level, but he's not going to suddenly forget how to play football. As such, I think his level will be a little below that.

Great video! Is that a team ranking next to the club name in the "Team willing to join:" section? Is there any other screen where we can see club's positions. Thanks.
Once again, Mustermann does the business. Also, can I ask what the music is in the background? Every time I hear it, Iit makes me think I'm hearing Bridge over Troubled Water. Sure it's the same chord pattern!
I believe I called it "Ode to Keinan Davis". A far, far simpler chord progression than Bridge Over Troubled Water, for sure. Verses: D A Bm A Chorus: G D Em A Middle 8/Breakdown: Em Bm (I'll be honest, I just had to pick up the bass to try and work out the chord progression. I can't even remember my own work 🤣)
With the utmost of respect, it seems that's been true for a lot of Cruzeiro players 😂 Joking aside, it seems that the combination of Mateus Vital and Nicolas Lacarmon was very effective in FM simulations!!
@@mustermannfm Yes, everytime that I take a look into Cruzeiro in my saves Mateus Vital is the top assistant for the team, crazy game. In real life he is really struggling with injuries as soon as he starts to play well.
So One bargain for second season. Is Real Madrid B-team 23 Old Marvin Park. He is on loan at La Liga side Las Palmas., got an average rating of 7,09 in La Liga. When he returned to Real Madrid B. I snatched him up for 3 Million. Biggest bargain so far playing with Musterman skin.
great video, but I noticed a lot of differences between my skin and yours, esp. the stats of cross accuracy, open play key pass/90, and so on. Is it possible for me to be able those kind of stats displayed just like yours? Since my way to see them is to go through the patsy chart instead of it default-ly shown on a player's profile. Cheers!
No. Because it is an overlay for the video. The game has no way of displaying stats that are aggregated from across multiple saves. To edit the skin, I recommend heading to the SI Forums and reading through the skinning guides.
hi great video prob is with liverpool anyone is cheaper than salah on right w ing if you sell salah for 100-200 million 99& are cheaper even elite right wingers , i started looking into money ball on ps5 prob is u have to load top 10 leagues which i havent done but its kinda worked i bought a striker from norway for 12k who scored 2 games later in europa league against Fenerbahçe, i like anyway buying youngsters anyway type of moneyball after all if i sell van dyk for 80 million and buy antonio silva for 40m isnt that moneyball kind of , im gonna have another go loading top 10 leagues as thats max on console i used to be a pc gamer but autism and steam dont get on
This series pragmatic. Thanks for sharing with us this big contents. One question, can we do this for finding regens? My scouts are best but hard to find regens in game. Right now I am playing with Juventus, it is my second team in my save but realy hard to find regens. I make tranfer focus for scouts but cant find regens in world. Scout team knowledge is absulte monster.
If you're looking for regens when they're 16/17, then no. One of the biggest elements of Moneyball is a preference towards evidence. And young players tend not to have performance data at first team level to go on. That said, if a 16/17 has broken into the first team at a club (even if it's not particularly impressive), it's probably a good sign that they're quite good.
Hi, I have a quick question. Are the stats of a player who plays in Danemark (i would look to recruit for my Marseille squad) compared with the Ligue 1 players or with the danish league in which he plays ?
Taken from the FAQs: In simple terms, it’s a chart showing a high level view of how often a player performs a specific action and how that ranks when compared to their peers. The bigger the slice, the higher the player ranks. A player in the 90th percentile for a category means they perform that action more than 90% of other players. The pizza chart is calculated at 5% intervals, and each concentric circle represents a 20th percentile. It is based loosely on the above article from The Athletic, adapted to work with the metrics available within FM. I have analysed 26,000 players playing more than 900 minutes in the TOP 20 DOMESTIC LEAGUES, breaking down each metric by position. Due to limitations this means the underlying data is static. For example, an Attacking Midfielder who completes 4 dribbles per game will always be ranked in the 90th percentile, even if at that exact moment in your game world there may in fact more or less players better than them. The same metrics are used for each position (except goalkeepers) to enable you to understand the tactical profile of a player. Forwards will be involved in a defensive capacity, and defenders will be involved in an attacking capacity, and understanding how a player compares in his position in all aspects of the game is important.
@@mustermannfm Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond to me I really appreciate it. However, I do suppose a player in a Danish league doing 4 dribbles game won't do the same thing in the Prem or in Ligue 1. I just find it difficult to estimate how much this player will lose in dribbles per game by going in teams at a higher level.
@@hehehaw1752 4 dribbles per game is sensational, you should be confident that they would do well in that particular area at a higher level. Maybe not to the exact same degree, but he's not going to suddenly forget how to do it entirely. Which is how it is in real life. There is always a risk when taking players from "lower" divisions.
@@mustermannfmfun fact - in real life he just joined my hometown team Hajduk Split and Gennaro Gattuso is his manager and he is using him as an inverted winger on the right in a semi structured 4-3-3. After seeing him play I would use him as an outright winger on the left as we discussed in your sneak peak
@@mustermannfm Gattuso will be gone sooner than Bamba. If he doesn’t start producing results and joga bonito he will be gone in under 3 months. If makes it longer then that it will be because of the high contract. So far doesn’t look like a good fit.
Firstly, welcome!! This is, as the thumbnail states, a Moneyball approach. Meaning we are statistic-led, rather than attribute-focused. Using the Mustermann Iconic skin (bit.ly/46zPxAP) which replaces numbers with icons representing a range. Those ranges are the same as used by the vanilla skin, and the key is present in the video. But for posterity: Big & Orange = Excellent (16+) Medium & Light Purple = Good (11-15) Small & Dark Purple = Average (6-10) Miniscule & Very Dark Purple = Low (1-5) Below is the methodology (as mentioned in the first 20 seconds): METHODOLOGY I performed 10 full detail simulations of the Top 30 leagues to create a single database to give me insight into player and team performances under the current Match Engine. Set up in real world mode, with the first transfer window disabled. Teams were able to make transfers in January, allowing us to get a sense of what the AI considers each team's areas of weakness. All player statistics were exported for players in active leagues who played over 900 minutes, aggregated and then standardised to per 90 metrics. All player recommendedations will come from this pool. No editor files were used as part of this process, ensuring that the guide provided is applicable to the vanilla game.
@@mustermannfm wow, thank you for such a comprehensive answer. i'll surely give it a try later tonight. already curious on how does the player search works now 😀
I am playing as Peterborough and really enjoyed Ajoboye and Kwame Poku from them. Both were so direct! My favourite wingers I signed for them are Estanis Pedrola, I signed him for £9.5m and he grabbed 15 goals and 15 assists in 36 apps first season and then 12 goals and 12 assists in 27 apps the season after playing as an IW support from the left. Yerson Chacon is another winger I found, he haw been very consistent. I signed him for 800k and am selling him for 44m two seasons later.
