What do you look at?

In general, which is better -- a player with a high DMI and low salary, or a high salary and low DMI?

DMI isn't even a factor to me whatsoever.

Salary is your principal measure of quality.

DMI is good for findout his form, for generall quality the impact is pretty low.

Salary say more about a player, in combination with his form.

I'd rather use Game Shape to find out what his Game Shape is than DMI.

The issue we face when looking at salaries and team ratings when trying to determine relative ability is that it is very difficult to disentangle exactly how much each player contributes to each rating.

No doubt, there are over-salaried players out there, and undersalaried ones too. As a guide to team quality, you go by ratings. As a guide to player quality (as asked for), you go by salary.

yeah but dmi is a bit more detailed ;) But for opponent analysys game shape was much easier but in my own team i use dmi instead of gameshape because i could see the sub of form with it.

But for looking for my opponent i take mostly just like damena and look how he plays and what ratings he gots.

DMI is useless for anything other than determining that training took place.

Thanks for the replies, guys

I've heard such, about DMI only being useful to see if training happened. At that same time, though, most of my better players certainly have more DMI than my weaker ones. I don't see any logical rhyme or reason to it -- and it's certainly not consistent in any way -- but there does seem to be a loose trend to it.

Thus, I thought that perhaps it would help to tell which players I would need to watch out for on the opponent's team.

My conundrum came from looking through two different teams which used similar inside scoring tactics. Both had star Centers, one of which had a very high DMI but rather low salary -- and the other with a fairly low Salary, but a very high DMI. They seemed to perform relatively similarly, so I wasn't sure what the difference was.

In regards to scouting, it appears I still have a lot to learn Obviously better game shape is what I'm looking for, but what exactly is that telling me? Are players with better game shape going to perform better every time?
