3 up, one down although only two show a change in the skill bar.

Maybe someone went up and down?

Player skill is actually measured to 1 decimal place but is then rounded to the nearest whole number for display purposes. So you could for example have a 5 skill player whose actual skill was 4.6 who could them improve by 0.8 to put them on 5.4 and they'd still show as a 5 skill player. In contrast a player who is rated at 5.4 who improved by just 0.1 would show a visible increase and become a 6 skill player.

I had 16 players increase and 1 decrease. The 1 who decreased lost a skill bar and of the 16 who increased only 5 had a visible incease.

6 up, 7 down, and it'll teach me to buy old players, as two skill 6 players I bought are now down to skill 4. At least my keeper improved up to skill 6, that'll help.

I'll get the new season started soon unless some more people fancy joining in?

Just looked through your squad and I can't even find any evidence that you bought any players last season let alone any who's skill might have dropped that far. All I can see is that you started with your original 18 players, brought in 2 youths and didn't let anyone go.

Hmm, maybe I bought them for another team and I'm getting confused

Wouldn't be the first time

I was using the summary at the bottom of the report which has blue blocks on the left for Sahas and blue blocks on the right for Ronaldos.
Overall there about a dozen pluses, a few no-cange and a handful of old timers past their best.

Good man.

Now that I'm familiar with the game i'm happy to post up a quick and easy guide to the game and looking after your team if anyone is interested. I reckon that at bare minimum it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes a week to keep your team in some sort of order.

cheers Phil, kinda lost track after the 1st couple of weeks and didn't have time to go wading through all the stuff.

That'll be interesting. Despite having 3 teams I've not put as much time into it as I should have done, so I'm sure there's loads of little things I don't know that I really should
