I was checking your database fm20. https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2020/database
Why are you rating a lot of players 4 stars while they are actually ingame 2 stars ?

The ingame stars take your club reputation into account when showing you stars. E.g a youngster in the premier league can be a decent player in league 2.
If you hover over the ratings stars on the site, it'll show you a number out of 100 which says how good the player is or can potentially be.

In your database is for example Ibrahim Afellay around 4,5 stars. This is impossible while he is @ PSV Eindhoven ingame around 2,5 stars.
And this is for so many players.

The star system in the game itself is relative to the other players in the squad.
The star system on this site is relative to the whole gameworld.

On my game he's 3,5 stars. It changes depending on which club you are managing. If you're an amateur team from gibraltar, he would problably be a very good player.
Besides, the stars in our database is not the same as ingame stars. We use a rating out of 100, where Ibrahim Afellay scores 77,9.

It make no sense to rate Afellay for example higher then Malen on the site while in FM20 Malen has more stars then Affelay ( they are in the same squad )

You allready know the potential of clubs and players. Does this mean that for example you never can be the biggest club whatever you do because the club is limited because of the potential ?
( sorry for my grammar mistakes i am not native speakers )

I don't believe there's a single attribute related to club potential
Ismailfm2018
Where is the club potential based on ?
Because for example I buy Messi and Ronaldo with Anderlecht or something then their potential will increase right ?

There is a starting reputation for each club. Based on success, that reputation will increase. It will be easier to get success if you have a big stadium, a big supporter base and if you are based in a big city, like in real life, but it's not impossible to get success if you don't have any of these, though it may take longer.
