Does having higher rated staff actually do anything to improve the team

You've been a supposed manager on this for 10 years lol, is this a sarcastic question?

Im wondering this too.

Yes.

Higher rated coaches help the players train higher (if their stats allow it).
Youth coaches help youth improve faster (I'm assuming? harder to see).
Other coaches help to, but again in hidden ways (better scout results?, better Assistant Manager decisions, better injury recovery/avoidance.

The average staff rating also improves your club ranking/points, which is beneficial to get to the next tier and attract better staff (each 1000 increment ...1500, 2500, 3500, etc)

Again, mostly invisible except for how fast new players train under stronger coaching is fairly obvious.

Better coaches train faster as well as higher.

Youth coaches it's hard to tell for certain, but it would seem intuitive that they train youths faster too.

Better scouts don't return better results, but they do return results faster, meaning you get to see more players.

Better physios make players recover faster, and it can literally be the difference between a player returning from injury a day earlier or not.

I don't believe assistant managers even do anything, but they improve your average staff rating, improving your club rating.

There is a reason that clubs strive so hard to reach the club rating barriers for better staff, you know!

Have you not ever wondered how certain teams have a roster full of 90 rated players lol?

As an example, Chikamoto was injured in my reserve match yesterday. He has a stiff neck, which takes 3 days to recover from if you have physios below a certain level. My physio is rated 56, which means that instead of Chikamoto being on recovery 49 today, he's on 51 and will be back after tomorrow's update, allowing me to get an extra day's training in.

It's small differences like that that add up to make a big difference in the long run.

It's a fair and understandable question from Kieran as he is quite new but Pete lol, have you been playing this game on Magic Mushrooms the last decade

Where's the 'innocent whistle' emoji when you need it. I'll go with this one instead

I don't think I can blame any of your players for him getting a stiff neck, TG

Depends if he sustained it from looking up at too many long balls?

Quick question about new staff, do I need to be above the threshold when I post AND when the applicants appear? I posted for a new member of staff when I was just below 6500, the results came back when I was above 6500 but I only got 5500 staff.

Needs to be 6501 or higher just before you get the staff applicants, not after you get the staff applicants. So, if you received them at the last update, your club rating yesterday is what mattered. Does that help?

Club rating when I applied, 6456, 2 days ago.
Club rating after last nights update, 6505
Applicants arrived after last nights update, but only got staff for 5500 club rating.
I assume the applicants arrive during the update but before the club rating gets updated hence still at the lower level.

I have more applicants arriving tonight for AM so in theory these should be at the new higher level?

Well played congrats!!! You look safe in 7th for a while so you should get them soon, you could probably send applications for longer also... Just don't promote a youth or interfere with your squad or spend any money until you get them lol

Just as a,point of reference, the +6501 staff can range from anything between 55-62 ish rating

I was confused when I first got them because most of mine were 55-58 when I got my first list of applications but if you look at the stats, they have +60 rating in certain areas of interest
