My guy from the opening post has only gone from a 5 to a 6 in two weeks.

Mind you I had a couple of in-game injuries and he played 20 minutes more than he should have the first week (82 total). He got 67 minutes this week and didn't move up at all.

Has anyone purchased a player that has risen to an 8 or a 9 over the first 2 weeks?

Yup. (16629319). Bought him on Wed. and GS dropped from 9 to 6. Played 44 minutes on Thursday and now GS is at 8.

Here is some observation on a limited amount of data so far (GS1 is GS before the sale and GS2 is after the player was sold; the same with DMI1 and DMI2).

GS1	GS2	DMI1	DMI2	↓ DMI %
9	6	382200	87000	77.24%
9	6	252200	58900	76.65%
9	7	173100	49000	71.69%
9	7	1114300	319300	71.35%
9	7	144300	44500	69.16%
9	6	188900	46800	75.22%
9	6	892200	243800	72.67%

GS1	GS2	DMI1	DMI2	↓ DMI %
8	6	29,200	8,200	71.92%
8	6	162,800	44100	72.91%
8	6	213,200	61300	71.25%
8	6	18100	9100	49.72%
8	6	532300	281700	47.08%
8	6	47600	14100	70.38%
8	6	411600	207200	49.66%
8	6	22400	7200	67.86%
8	6	259300	123500	52.37%
8	5	85800	42100	50.93%
8	6	405200	138700	65.77%
8	6	122800	33800	72.48%
8	5	114600	34800	69.63%
8	6	42500	23200	45.41%
8	5	338400	150300	55.59%
8	6	34500	10400	69.86%

It's obvious that it is difficult to estimate the exact GS hit for levels of GS <9 because of the sub-levels of GS.

And from the shown data it is obvious that even at level 9 GS there are differences of GS hit which suggest there is a random factor in the formula.

Yeah I purchased a 60k 23 year old and his GS dropped from 7 to 5. I played him 52 minutes this week and he jumped to 8 GS!

Bought a 32 yo 40k bigman average GS when bought. Played 53 minutes that week and GS went up to respectable after training. IMHO this isn't what I envisioned the GS hit would be. Was expecting something harsher.

I believe the hit is only important when you are buying players with good GS. I had a proficient GS go to average.

The bigger the pre-sale GS the bigger the GS hit after the sale. But, you can also experience GS drop even when buying a player in GS level 5. Out of 113 players that I've monitored (which is very low amount of data), the GS drop were as follows:

Pre-sale GS	GS After Sale	How many Players
5		4		2
5		5		8

6		5		6
6		6		2

7		5		9
7		6		17

8		5		6
8		6		27
8		7		3

9		6		17
9		7		8

Even when the after sale GS remains at the level of the pre-sale GS (which is seen only at GS level <7), you are experiencing a drop in the GS (the sub-levels). That is easily shown by monitoring the value of the pre-sale DMI and after-sale DMI. For example, one player preserved his GS after the sale at level 6, but the value of DMI had dropped from 30,900 to 25,700 (which is ↓16.83%). This drop will also affect his performance. I'm trying to say that any GS drop, whether it is level or sub-level drop, is important.

As I've mentioned earlier in the thread, it is obvious that there is a random factor in the formula.
