Not impossible. As a striker, I ever scored more than 1 goal per match ratio on Top Player once. That's on second season, though only once and, well, as a striker. And I had a crappy first season. Had to do with the fact that I play for 20 minutes I suppose.
But here's a curious thing: > 7.5 overall in third season and only plays for Monaco? Offers from BAL sucks indeed. Been there, done that. Good rating, doesn't seem like skipping games, lots of goals, even assists. No room for complaints really. What gives? Dan, what's Monaco's team ranking in your game? Is it in the top 20?
I'm now playing a winger at the same season as him on Professional, never scored/assisted more than one digit number, overall about 6.8, and in Summer 2011 got me offers from City at rank 12.
