How to work out overall team rating, broken down
To start with here is an explanation of how it works.
Guide to Team Rating in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team – Calculation and Tips
Now a lot of people seem to still be very confused about this, so I thought I would break it down for people.
1. Work out the average rating of the team
So let's assume we have 11 players, each rated at 84. To work out this average we then do:
(84 x 11) / 11 = 84
So we now know that our average team rating is 84.
2. Make adjustments accordingly, IF any players rating falls above the average team rating
So let's use the above example. Every player is of rating 84, as is the team rating. No changes need to take place, your team rating is 84.
Now let's assume that we have a team of 10 players, rated 84 and 1 rated 85.
(84 x 10 + 85) / 11 = 84.09
Now we need to adjust the rating slightly, as we have a player who is rated above the average rating (average is 84.09, one player is 85). To do this we add up every rating point that falls above the average. So here it would 1 point, (10 players are 84, below the average, 1 is 85, which is 1 above the average).
We then take this number and divide it by the amount of players:
1 / 11 = 0.09
3. We add both of these figures together.
84.09 + 0.09 = 84.18
This figure falls below 85, and hence gives an overall team rating of 84.
To summarise we will use the formula that proved so successful in the past week. In this we used 84 x 2, 83 x 8 and 80 x 1.
** ((84 x 2) + (83 x 8) + 80) / 11 = 82.90909090**
We add the difference of players rated ABOVE the 82 average (always round down). Here we have 8 x 83 rated players and 2 x 84. The 8 players at 83 each give 1 point (as it is one rating higher), both the 84 give 2 points (two ratings higher). So here we have a total of 12 points.
12/11 = 1.09090909
Then adding them both together we get:
82.909090909 + 1.09090909 = 84
Hence we get an overall team rating of 84.
Hope this helps some people at least! Any questions just drop me a message!
Edit: When working out averages for the squad, always round down.
