Well that's my point, the approach hasn't been proven to work so far, but I can see what they are trying to do. Get the best passers, best assisters, biggest big man, most racist south american, and you should win games. In theory.

Therein lies the problem, I'm pretty sure that neither Downing, Henderson or Adam have been the best passers or had the most assists in a season. Oh and Carol isn't the biggest striker either. So unless you actually buy the players with the best stats that theory isn't going to work.
