This really should be in the suggestions forum :)

However, I don't think it is something that is necessary. I think that if you want to know how strong a team is then you should scout them. Any formula you use to work out the power value is going to have flaws in it.
For example, my team often runs with 5 great players (1 per position) and I play them for 48 minutes in the game I want to win. I make sure they all have strong stamina approximately, so they play at great performance the whole match. Much better than a backup. Obviously I sold all my players recently to concentrate on training for a while, but the point still stands.

Thank you very much Naker Virus, and Mod-CrazyEye. All are things which I agree should be considered. That's more the direction where I'm trying to get this forum to go, throw the suggestions and remarks on what should be considered and hopefully Power Value can be a very useful tool

No worries. It was a well thought out suggestion (more so than most suggestions I see), but I feel that there is no formula that will account for all situations. There will always be a flaw. Some of those flaws include centers having higher salary, gameshape not taken in to account, training not taken in to account, teams with less than 12 players or more than 12 players.

mnaybe take the game ratings, they are also a rough guide about the quality of a team and they include motivation, the lineup, the secondary skills and are relativ fair in the distribution betwen "big and small men". So probadly i would make a formula out of it, i believe there is already one out there.

PS: Instead of salary i maybe would use the dmi, when i work to analyse my opponent, because it considers training and gs quite well.

Yea to create Power Value to be good indicator you would have to take a lot of data to have a more accurate power value. gameshape for example you would have to look alot on how it impacts how the player perform in a game on average to know how it would adjust the power value, and adjustments also be made given that centers are much higher in salary. Like you said it will always have flaw, the current ranking themselves also have flaws. Anything that is based on algorithm is made to be as best predictor.

Could you send me the main suggestion forums please? I like to just send the link for this on the suggestion forum and brief explanation
