That's exactly what it means.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

so it's just some random number and means nothing at all.

It's not random, but it's heavily dependent on Game Shape and really doesn't do a good job of determining a player's value or skills all that well.

it's a deliberately meaningless index that depends on the game shape of the player, the stats, the training he's getting... all in all... meaningless but after seasons and seasons you spend playing you might be able to read something out of it...
maybe... perchance... mayhap

Believe it or not, I actually set my lineup based on DMI. And, if you can believe this, my starters almost always play better than my subs when I set my lineup based on DMI.

Deliberately Meaningless? Probably so, but it works for me! :[]

Clever! Yes you can also set your lineup using DMI, but it is very risky.

DMI considers all the skills and Game Shape, which affects it very heavily. So yes, you probably get a pretty good lineup based on DMI. It's not a very advanced approach, though.

DMI can be a good way to judge opposition players as long as you take into account Game Shape.

The best way to get a feel for DMI is to keep track of your players DMI and Game Shape. By learning what your players look like you can estimate the opposition.
