Ratings changes predictions?

so...what will your squad look like next week with the changes? having looked at how milan and lazio were hit (which was pretty hard since a current italian international at milan dropped from a 9797 to 9595 and lisandro lopez went from 9997 to 9594) i'm going to use those as a bench mark for my own players, aswell as the actual PTCR system as detailed by paul in his post. by my understanding, players who are 94, 95 and 97 cr's are going to be hit the hardest, aswell as retired internationals. especially those who were a 95 or 97cr and either dont have the caps to warrant it or are not brazilian or spanish.

anyway here's mine and i'm being brutally honest so i suggest others be likewise, since paul was brutally honest in many other re-rates. i assume though that given the nature of many of everyone's PTCR's that people may not want to make predictions, especially if they have one thats due a big fall. but i've done mine all the same cos i'm not coy about the subject.

I havn't and will not discuss anybody elses players though, since its unfair to do that, best to just focus on your own.

all my yugoslav/serb whatever you wanna call them all came from shit academies so i've assumed they either go to a 95 or 99pt and a 95cr, since - by the book - they can't hold a 97 unless paul makes an exception. sirigu my only player whose CR might go up, as he is under rated. ibson should be my biggest faller as he isn't an international, though he does play in Russia but i still think its considered a weak league by Paul so i think he'll drop considerably, the only thing that might spare him is that he's brazilian and playing in the champions league. Maxwell hasn't played for Brazil but plays for Barcelona, based on caps he shouldnt be a 97cr but he plays regular for Barca so I beleive he'll be made an exception but i still expect him to go down by -2cr.

it seems no one like brutally honest Stu

i half expect it, i mean, its understandable. i wouldnt want to discuss my players either, especially if they were now playing in a retirement home....i mean, the MLS.

"shhhh....maybe he wont notice"....yeah....like nobody noticed me wearing lumious orange budgie smugglers on holiday last year may aswell just laugh it off and get it over with, its only a rating. bloody freemasons!

I have never put my player ratings up for scrutinisation, however I am hoping that Stekelenburg stays at his level. As for the rest, possibly looking at xx/xx on average, so those WR's have to come down.

Been on a plane for 8 hours. Interesting from Stu. Personally I have no idea what will happen. Although the retirement home statement is accurate and a classic. If one of your players is a team mate of Juan Pablo Angel you deserve the worst.

exactly. the way i look at it...luke rodgers moved from league 2 to the MLS...if the MLS was a good standard then his rating would go up, though i dont think (personally) its any better than league one here in england, so i would expect his to stay the same. which means any formerly better players that play alongside him...well...they should fear the worst indeed and, no, i dont mean carl robinson. they have wayne rooney's brother aswell i think.

no takers on being brutally honest,i would do mine.....but i can't be arsed and thats brutally honest
