All of my first Team and most of my bench players reached their POT cap or exceeded it slightly. So my first Team has an average GES of 82-83 (Bench: 78).
The system works well, eventhough I despise the classic FIFA 442 normally and some players play out of Position. 
Best Player  Award(only "real" Players considered):
James- Good Winger, but magnificent up front. 3x PL Golden Boot Winner. Far outplays his 81 rating. Just try him.

I reached so far (2023):
3 straight Top 4 finishes in the BPL (title win in 2023)
R16 of the CL 2021/22 (exit on aggregate to Benfica)
Semis of the CL 2022/23 (exit to Tottenham in extra time)
CL win is still the dream :)
