How do we work it out?
  • Club level: average of its best 16 (79). Starters are the game’s official line-up and the rating in each position is his official rating in his main position and EA’s formula in the others.
  • Weak starter: the starter rates 75 or less in his position (level − 4).
  • No quality backup: no natural backup in that position reaches 71 (level − 8).
  • Succession needed: starter aged 32 or over (we say so if his contract ends this season).
  • Free · €0: no club, no transfer fee. Beats your player by +2 or more; for a succession, at least 3 years younger and no more than 3 below.
  • Prospect: 23 or younger, potential at least the club level and your starter, and already useful as a backup (67+ in the position).
  • Ready now · 3–4 seasons: 23 to 28 years old, so he stays at a good level for 3–4 seasons. Rates at least your starter + 2 (weak starter), the level − 4 (no backup) or your starter − 1 (succession).
  • Prospect and Ready now cost at most your estimated budget (47,5 M€, about 12 % of the squad value); wages are shown but not filtered. Everyone plays the position naturally and each player appears only once.
