7501
Hi all, I'm just wondering on peoples thoughts and opinions or maybe even cold hard facts?

To reach the 7501 threshold, does the stadium 100% need to be maxed to reach it??

I'm currently dealing with a slight conundrum, ive been trying my best to sign players 90(ish) rating but not paying too much over the odds for them and these players are in high demand at the moment and I've only signed one player out of about ten I've bid for lol

I have +50 mil to spend before the season finishes to keep the tax bill low and if I don't get lucky with any transfers I may need to spend it all on completing my stadium

But is a maximum stadium necessary to reach the 7501???

The only fact that I could offer is that of the 17 clubs currently over 7,500 on CR, all have a stadium of 42,600. So this would support your hypothesis.

Someone might have anecdotal evidence of an exception, and I'm sure they will come forth in this chat soon. I'm no expert in this game, but I would say we should consider cause and effect.

Does a 42,600 stadium help you get to 7,501? Or does the a higher rating come from other factors that allow you to build a 42,600 stadium?

Strictly speaking, no. But it's a very easy way to pick up points when you're pushing for 7501, and it's incredibly hard to get them at this level, so it would seem most prudent to try to get it if you can.

Just for reference, I have a maxed out stadium, best possible staff for my level, club value 100M+, and an APR of 86, and I still can't quite reach 7501 even when I managed 2nd place last season (historical results holding me back).

To reach it without one of those things maxed out is just adding to your challenge unnecessarily, in my opinion.

In your position, if you have that much money to spend - in my opinion, get the stadium upgrades. One or two 90+ players might move your APR by one to get you a few temporary ratings points until they retire. Yes they'll improve your results, but enough over their careers to get you to 7501? I doubt it.

Maxing out your stadium will get you double those ratings points, permanently. The players can come later.

Thanks for you guys thoughts and yes all noted,,, I guess I'll try and do a bit of both... Ive recently just promoted another all 90 fixed attribute player aswell "White" right footed playmaker so could highly likely sell him at the beginning of next season

Thanks again everyone

White is his surname not ethnicity,,, just incase any accuses anyone of racism again
