Probably a stupid question, but what is the difference between CA/PA and Current Rating/Potential Rating?

 

For example, on my save Sebastian Coates has one of the highest 'Current Rating' figures for a CB, but is not rated as highly when you compare CB's on a CA basis.

 

When evaluating how good a player is, which of the two should I focus on, or is it a combination of the two?

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

 

CA/PA is what you should focus on as that is what determines how good the player is.  Current Rating and Potential Rating are there just for guidance not fact.
