Coach star ratings

[lemming3k]

Anyone got an updated list of Coach star thresholds? I found a 2017 list but something has changed as I have a 3 star coach who on that list should only be 2 and a half.

Thank you, although as a lower league manager I'm not in a position to hire the best coaches. I was looking for the thresholds (like the chart in this article from last year);

I believe I can see the typo in the article though, defending should be 3*DDM not 2*DDM, which explains my coach - and how you can get over 360 points!

Hmmm, I was looking for a goalkeeping coach and along with the fmguido link above I looked at this too...

I have not tested it yet (I'll do some save scumming so I don't get stuck with someone I don't necessarily want) but the thing I find odd is the tactical stat doesn't highlight as being important in game, just the 3 GK stats and the usual DDM.

With FM 2018, they changed the formulas for Tactics, Defending, and the Goalkeeper coaches. I posted about this over on the SI forums and if you navigate over there you can download an excel spreadsheet that I created, which can be used as a coaching star calculator.

If you don't want to leave Steam, here's what I believe the formulas are:

There are 12 coaching attributes relevant to coaching star ratings. These attributes are: "Attacking", "Defending", "Fitness", "Mental", "Tactical", "Technical", "GK Distribution", "GK Handling", "GK Shot Stopping", "Determination", "Level of Discipline", and "Motivating".

All coaching formulas now seem to add up so that they are out of a maximum of 300 possible points. Minimum points possible seems to be 15.

These points correspond with star ratings as such:


270 to 300 = 5 stars

240 to 269 = 4.5 stars

210 to 239 = 4 stars

180 to 209 = 3.5 stars

150 to 179 = 3 stars

120 to 149 = 2.5 stars

90 to 119 = 2 stars

60 to 89 = 1.5 stars

30 to 59 = 1 star

15 to 29 = 0.5 stars



Strength Coaching:

(Fitness * 9) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



Aerobic Coaching:

(Fitness * 9) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



Tactics Coaching:

(Tactical * 6) + (Mental * 3) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



Ball Control Coaching:

(Technical * 6) + (Mental * 3) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



Defending Coaching:

(Defending * 6) + (Tactical * 3) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



Attacking Coaching:

(Attacking * 6) + (Tactical * 3) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



Shooting Coaching:

(Technical * 6) + (Attacking * 3) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



GK Shot Stopping Coaching:

(GK Shot Stopping * 9) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



GK Handling Coaching:

(GK Handling * 9) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)



GK Distribution Coaching:

(GK Distribution * 9) + ((Determination + Level of Discipline + Motivating) * 2)
