There's two big thing to understand when were talking about building team chemistry. 1st it's all about personality, that's the most important aspect in the chemistry equation, not leadership. 2nd it's important to understand that all players in a position group benefit from the overall position group affinity score not just the players with the affinity. I just to try and find affinity matches for my starters but that's not necessary.
Personality is what gives the affinity the overall grade we'll call it. Think of it like this, mild affinity +1, affinity +2, strong +3 and exceptional +4. If my team leader has less than 50 personality he's gone. Generally I try to get my team leaders to have above 80 personality because that's the only way to get the exceptional affinities.
Your stud WR benefits more from having the 5th string WR have an exceptional affinity with the team leader than his own mild affinity. I try to find role players that also are exceptional affinity matches.
It's really difficult to start the chemistry process with an established team. There's obviously guys you can't or don't want to move and it may not be possible to adjust the team leader in that situation. LR was in rebuilding mode so that made it easier to redo the chemistry. I recently took over an older playoff bound team and that was much more challenging from a chemistry standpoint. Basically I try to find high personal team leaders that don't have a conflict with any studs I have. It's far easier to replace the roll players and generally anyone mid 40s or lower i'm probably just going to cut and bring in some mid to high 30s that's hopefully an exceptional affinity.
