![]() | Tranking a Player's SL through the Ages Posted by |
The following table details how a player's SL can grow / shrink as the player ages.
| SL Loss | SL | RSD | SL | |
| SBY | 0 | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| APP | 0 | 5 | 5 | 10 |
| I | 0 | 10 | 5 | 15 |
| II | 2 | 13 | 3 | 16 |
| III | 3 | 13 | 3 | 16 |
| IV | 4 | 12 | 3 | 15 |
| V | 5 | 10 | 3 | 13 |
| VI | 6 | 7 | 3 | 10 |
| VII | 7 | 3 | 3 | 6 |
- Per the rules, SBYs get their SL Raised (aka RSD) once every 3 matches. SBYs can only play in 1 match every session. We will have 10 sessions per season. Basic math then tells us that an SBY can only have his SL raised by 3 [ (1 * 10) / 3 = 3.333 ].
- APPs get their SL raised once every 4 matches and they can play in 2 matches per session. The math tells us that an APP can have his SL raised by 5 [ (2 * 10) / 4 = 5 ].
- The rules state that Age 1 players can have their SLs raised by 5 and all other non-Youth players can only have their SL raised by 3 per season.
With max coaching, a player will reach a max SL of 16 in both Age II and Age II. He'll remain a viable asset of the team through Age VII. At the end of Age VII, the player would be retired as he would lose 8 SL due to Aging.
While we may see a player or 2 in the Auctions who will have a slightly higher SL curve than the typical SBY starter, the above chart should be used to guide what a "max" player looks like.

Could a player not gain more skill levels with a youth couch (I think thats what they were called.)
For example if a schholboy is coached 10 times and never plays in a match wont his SL increase by 10?

The Youth Coach is a way to provide a player with 1 QNL (Qualification for the Next skill Level) in a given session.
Maybe you have a 2-game session, for example, and you'd rather play your best Gk than your SBY 2 Gk. You can use your Youth Coach on that SBY 2 Gk to have the same effect of him playing in the match...so he can continue up the ladder (for SBY for every 3 games played they rise 1 SL, but can only play OR be Youth Coached once in a given session).
To be clear, no CP can be used on SBY/APP players, just Age I + (and that should hold true in your orders page...if not yell at me).
