Today, we're diving into the super interesting world of Moneyball and showing you how you can implement it in your FIFA Career Mode. It might sound complicated, but we promise it's easy to set up, and it will make career mode more fun. So, let's get right into it!
Moneyball, originally from baseball but now applied to FIFA, revolves around analyzing player stats in-depth. We'll be ignoring overall ratings and potential, focusing instead on finding hidden gems with the right attributes for specific roles. Just like the famous Oakland Athletics in baseball, we aim to punch above our weight and discover top-tier talent on a budget.
In this video, we'll explain how Moneyball works, look at real-life clubs that have embraced the approach, and even suggest some teams to try this challenging strategy with. By focusing on specific stats and not being swayed by overall ratings during transfers, you'll create a unique and satisfying experience in FIFA Career Mode.
If you're looking to spice up your FIFA saves and build a squad tailored to your playstyle, Moneyball might be the perfect fit for you. Watch now to learn how to make those hidden gems dominate the pitch and lead your team to glory! Don't forget to check out our Notts County Road to Glory and Pentagon Challenge playlists, where we put Moneyball to the test. And for any questions or discussions, head over to our Discord and tag us in your posts. Let's get scouting!

Just a small adjustment - Moneyball wasn't about finding players who hit more home runs. Billy Beane's motto was "does he get on base?" If a guy hits more singles and doubles, he gets on base more often and is more likely to score, as opposed to a roided up guy who hits the ball 600 feet, but strikes out 70-80% of the time

Also, don't use other tools to look into players, use the ingame tools they give you, have scouts in all parts of the world to fin the next player for your team. Also this can be even more cool if you don't negotiate the transfers yourself and only delegate them, as if the club is doing them for you, that way you may need to scout multiple players to find the one that will join your club.

I'm always try to improve starter Teams with some cheap hidden gems with perfect stats for my system At my St. Pauli career mode the craziest player was Tannane. I think he was a cam. But I played him also as striker and winger. Around 28 at start, but he was about 3-4 years an important part of the squad. When the rest of the team was about 80-84, he balled with 75. Crazy price value over the years

I tried to apply this at Union Berlin on Fifa 22 but they already had this type of team with players like Haraguchi a Cam with 87 agility, 85 Acceleration and 84 balance being only 74 rated or Becker a St with 91 pace. It was very fun and i recommend trying those players.

@andreapredellini6674 3 месяца назад

I did this last year in pes 2020, i started with the base 1,5 star team and started in the serie b. I only looked for players that now are good but they weren't back then (like emi martinez). Or i searched for specific stats. For example, i liked Scamacca's style of play and he became the captain of inter in the first season, winning 3 back to back coppa italia, 1 scudetto, 1 UCL and 1 EUL and a treble. He was so good that i bought him in every career

@alternativ7171 10 месяцев назад

A lot of this is how seasoned CM players would play, I imagine. For example, I often buy pacey CBs so I can sell my fullbacks and switch to a 3-5-2, almost 3-3-4 and leave my defense less vulnerable. Pair that with one CDM with high stamina, two CAMs (or CMs) with High-High work rates and high stamina. Two pacey wingers one 6"1+ Striker and one striker with high agility and pace. This allows your CDM to fill gaps in the centre when your CBs are pulled apart by wing plays, effectively turning your defense into a 4-man back row. It also ensures your CAMs press high up field, but close midfield gaps that the CDM is leaving. The tall Striker serves as a target point that stays central and the agile striker serves as a false 9 that runs around. It allows for much more of your budget to go to your midfield and attacking players, instead of having to dedicate money to two fullbacks. Even if they are attacking minded, your 2 centre backs cannot close the gaps they leave. It means you would need at least 2 CDMs to close those gaps quickly and to stay behind, meaning you effectively are putting down 6 defensive players on your pitch. The 3-5-2/3-3-4 allows you to put only 4 defensive players in your starting 11, with basically the same defensive power as the 4-3-3.

Nice concept but its not what moneyball is. moneyball is pure statistics no stats, not 90 passing. but something like 99% pass accuracy

@JimmyO90 10 месяцев назад

Exactly what I was thinking while watching this video. Moneyball is based on analysis of performance and nothing to do with attributes. Something FIFA has no way of tracking and probably never will. Buying a player based on attributes is essentially the same as buying the best rated player, being as their overall rating comes down to a combination of all of their attributes.

I played as Accrington Stanley when they were a half star team with the lowest rating and budget in the game. I had to get players who were good at very specific attributes that would allow them to excel in very specific roles. I'd also use loans and free agents to fill out the rest of the squad. After they do well, I'd sell them and get somebody with slightly better stats. We rocketed our way through the divisions and eventually won the UCL. If you really want to play money ball, you have to start at the very bottom because EVERY decision matters much more.

@judechauhan6715 10 месяцев назад

I think this idea would be incredibly fun but doesn't really work in the fifa games because the idea is the 'low rated' player who has great stats, like when you start a career mode in a league 2 team and your 37 year old striker seems way better than the higher rated younger players around him but this idea kind of gets ruined I think with their ratings being plainly displayed. I mean in the way that we might take say Bale at Spurs in fifa 21, 80 rated, not fast anymore but something like 95 curve/freekicks/long shooting made him a guarantee goal from FK and 30 yard far post curlers. I think moneyball in fifa would look much more like fifa 17 Butland for your FUT team and Walcott on the wing, cheaper players with not the best stats or ratings but seemingly outclassing everyone else in that same bracket and even some beyond. It's hard to explain but I feel like those 'cheese' FUT players were the real money ball or that 43yr old goalie who stops every shot when you first start a career are the real 'moneyball' players.

Without knowing it, I've been using this in a way to play EA/Fifa games for ages.. I use the development page to help me identify specific combinations of attributes for example "Mobile Striker" has better attributes than a "mobile striker" for the position of a false 9.. Obviously a target player attributes would be a good fit for a target man on the field.. I think EA should remove the potentials and overalls from the game completely and allow players to try to develop players this same way. It's so rewarding and fun, especially when you get the controls and game mechanics down to a tee.. Any glitches or bad DDA gets written down as an uncontrollable, unpredictable variable that shouldn't frustrate you. Life is unpredictable. Yes the glitches are bad, but we have no control over them, so just accept it. Just know, what that happens, it's not your fault and that you're good enough. ✌😎

I do the same thing, Set up instructions to the position along with formation, etc. Then look at what are the best stats in that position. Box-box mid field players need stamina,short passing and finishing is a plus. It is super fun, and after a season or two if you can hold those players, your team will be unstoppable. I am managing Valencia in Fifa 22, and missed a good right winger who can cut inside and can shoot, maybe not score goals but at least have that habbit, so I looked at Jose Gaya, a left back and played him in Right wing, He became the second highest goal scorer that season for me with 11 goals. Now he is back to RB, since I had the budget to bring in a winger.
