Q & A

What is the main focus of this tier list episode?

This episode focuses on ranking the best wide players in FM 23, including both left-sided and right-sided players, based on different categories like price, availability, and potential.

What categories are used to rank the wide players in the tier list?

The players are ranked into five categories: 'Goat' (the best player), 'Best of the Rest' (great options but not quite the best), 'Pretty Good' (decent but not exceptional), 'Hype's Gone' (players whose hype has faded), and 'Unusable' (players who are either overpriced, injury-prone, or underperforming).

How are individual talent and player availability considered in the ranking?

The ranking takes into account not just individual talent but also factors like the player's price point, their availability in the first season, and whether they become available after a few seasons, which affects their usefulness in a Football Manager save.

Why is Harvey Elliott placed in the 'Unusable' category?

Harvey Elliott is placed in the 'Unusable' category because he starts at Liverpool, and it’s likely that he will remain in their first team. His high price, reported at over 130 million pounds, makes him unattainable early in the game.

What makes Michael Eliese stand out in the tier list?

Michael Eliese stands out because, despite being relatively expensive at 40-50 million pounds, he has immense potential and can develop into a guaranteed superstar. If Crystal Palace gets relegated, his price could drop, making him a great option.

Why is Jeremy Pino ranked in the 'Hype's Gone' section?

Jeremy Pino is ranked in the 'Hype's Gone' section due to his high asking price (40-50 million pounds) and the fact that he’s already wanted by top clubs. He’s still a good player but not an ideal option for most managers, especially those not managing top-tier clubs.

Why is Saka considered 'Unusable' despite being a talented player?

Saka is considered 'Unusable' because of his high transfer cost and the difficulty of acquiring him unless managing a top club like Real Madrid or Manchester City. His cost and wages make him unattainable for most teams.

What is the reasoning behind placing some players like Cakey and Zhao Rego in the 'Pretty Good' category?

Players like Cakey and Zhao Rego are placed in the 'Pretty Good' category because they possess potential but need significant development to become useful. Additionally, their initial lack of readiness and high price prevent them from being standout options.

Why is the player Andrea Shoulderup considered the 'Goat' of the wide players in FM 23?

Andrea Shoulderup is considered the 'Goat' due to his exceptional talent and low cost, usually around 2-3 million pounds. He is easy to attract and has the potential to develop into one of the best players in the world.

What factors influence the ranking of players in terms of their future potential in FM 23?

Factors such as age, price, availability, injury history, and potential for development all influence the ranking of players. The likelihood of a player moving to a bigger club or remaining with their current team also plays a significant role.
