🧠 Hint Sheet #1
⭐ Player Ratings & Skills Explained
🎯 1. Core Concepts
Every player has:
✅ Overall Rating (0–100%)
✅ 11 individual Skills (each 0–100%)Higher = Better in both cases.
Skills are split into:
Primary Skills 🏆 (affect Rating)
Secondary Skills 🛠️ (do not affect Rating but still influence performance)
📌 2. How Ratings Are Calculated
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | Each position (GK, DEF, MID, ATT) uses a specific set of Primary Skills |
| 2️⃣ | The number of primary skills is not shown — managers must discover it |
| 3️⃣ | Player Rating = (Sum of Primary Skill Values ÷ Number of Primary Skills) |
| 4️⃣ | Final value is rounded to the NEAREST whole number (e.g. 46.49% → 46%; 46.99% → 47%) |
💡 This means even tiny increases in key skills can trigger a full rating point rise.
🧩 3. Primary vs Secondary Skills
| Feature | Primary Skills 🏆 | Secondary Skills 🛠️ |
|---|---|---|
| Affect Overall Rating? | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Position-Specific? | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Can be |
| Important for Match Performance? | ✅ Very | ✅ Still important |
| Secret or Known? | ❓ Must be discovered | ✅ All visible |
📉 4. Rating Effects
A player’s Rating is more than just a number — it influences:
💷 Market Value
💰 Salary Demands (unless contract is fixed)
⚽ On-field ability summary
📈 Career Progression
Ratings go up or down over time, but only because Primary Skills improve or decline.
🔍 5. Why This Matters
Knowing which skills are primary for each position gives you power to:
🎓 Plan training and camp sessions better
🧠 Use 1-on-1 coaching strategically
📊 Predict when the next Rating increase might happen
💼 Manipulate market value before transfers
🧩 Understand true player potential
Without this knowledge, you’re managing in the dark.
🕵️♂️ 6. How to Discover Primary Skills
Here’s a simple step-by-step method:
Track a player’s skills weekly, especially when his Rating changes 📅
Open your Manager’s Report at Squad Report: Part 4 → note which skills changed and which stayed the same
Skills that did not rise when Rating increased = NOT Primary ❌
Make a list of the possible Primary Skills ✅
Add them together ➗ divide by number of skills ➡️ round to hearest whole number
If this matches his Rating → you’re onto something 🧠✨
Test this on other players in the same position
Congratulations — you’ve begun your journey to Rating enlightenment! 🌟
🤝 7. Final Tip
You can:
Ask other managers (some will share, some won’t 😏)
Experiment & record data (most rewarding!)
Collaborate within your squad or group chats
Because in Soccer Supremos…
👉 Knowledge = Power. Power = Silverware.
