I have added an experimental new feature: color code representing the current strength of the player compared to his current first-team Liverpool alternatives. This is just my opinion and I can definitely be wrong (especially trying to judge some players I had barely seen) – but I thought it would be useful to have some idea at a glance as to which of the linked players would likely instantly improve us.
Red – will walk into our first team and likely improve on a current player in his position
Orange – will be competitive in his position
Yellow – will be a rotation option, but is currently weaker than players we already have
Green – too young to make a serious impact on the first team
