Skill
Each player in Einnek Football has a Skill Rating. This determines their general level as a player within the game. Players can rise and fall in skill level depending on both their own personal performance and that of their club or international team.
Skill 6 and above are levels which are hard for players to obtain and as such and player at this skill level should be treated as extremely valuable commodities. Players od skill 6 and above are generally referred to as “High Skill Players”.
If your team wins, one of your players’ skill level will increase by one, unless all 14 named players are already skill 5 or above, in which case you will receive 10 youth points.
If you draw there is usually no change, but occasionally one player’s skill factor will increase by one, while another’s will decrease by one at the same time – this depends on individual player performances.
If you lose, a player who performed poorly may lose a skill point. This applies to all players. A player who receives a performance rating of 4 or below will automatically lose a skill point regardless of skill level and the result of the fixture. A higher skill player can also be affected in this way.
The maximum skill a player can attain by winning matches is 5. A player can increase his skill higher than this by one of the following means:
- Gaining 20, 30, 40 & 50 International Points,
- Being overall player of the week,
- Being man of the match in an international,
- By scoring a total of 8 goals in two consecutive club matches,
- Attaining a series of consistently high performance ratings, as follows:
| Current Skill | Consecutive 9 Ratings to Rise in Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 2 |
| 6 | 3 |
| 7 | 3 |
| 8 | 4 |
| 9 | 5 |
| 10 | 6 (does not result in skill increase but wacs reset to 25) |
Additionally, a goalkeeper can gain a skill point if he attains an 8 rating the same number of consecutive club matches in a row as his current skill point. 9 ratings count double (9 rating = 2 x 8 ratings).
Example: If your keeper attains an 8 rating 5 games in a row and he is currently a skill 5 player, then he will gain a skill point.
Please note, once a skill point has been awarded, the run of consecutive run of ratings is reset to zero. Also, any player who is transferred to another club will not be eligible to rise in skill by including performances for his previous club.
