1) How do the skills translate to ratings for players ? Last I remember, it was something like atrocious - 0, dreadful - 1000, poor - 2000 and so on and when I combine these for all the skills my player has, that should be equivalent to his rating number more or less..is that still the case ?

Yes, its 1000 for each skill level, so if you sum up those values for each skill, you can calculate how much rating the player has 'spare' over his shown skills.

2) How do teams go about being youth centric only or youth farms ? I am interested to know the approach. The way I see it senior matches still seem to play quite a huge role in supporters mood, attendance and the amount of revenue contributing from gate receipts and sponsorship. How are teams able to sustain by completely ignoring senior squads and yet still have money to maintain superior/lavish/deluxe youth academies and wages for youth squads and sustain in the long run ?

Not entirely sure, I think they buy old players continually that are good enough to keep the senior team at a decent level without any senior academy investment, thus some money coming in through fan mood etc. I understand however that more changes are on the way to discourage 'youth farms' (and also teams that solely concentrate on seniors) so you might want to hold off deciding your strategy regarding academies until what those changes are become clear.
Thanks mate :party
Just to add, atrocious is 500, then dreadful 1000, poor 2000 and continuing to go up by 1000 (so atrocious is the only odd one out)

Hi,
I just signed up this week and unfortunately I've been assigned a team which is about to get relegated to Div 5 in t20. My question is: is there hope to get saved due to a bot flush at the EOS?

Even in Div 4, so many of the teams are bots, so I can't imagine how boring it will be to go down into botworld for an entire season.

(PS: I had a team very early on in about season 7-10. Then took a looooong break and I have now returned again.)

As you are in one of the smaller countries then yes you will end up in div 4 after EOS

Will the EOS player fatigue reset happen before Monday's youth training update?

Hi,

1) My Yt20 league for next season shows 3 promotion arrows:
https://www.fromthepavilion.org/leagueo ... 93072#curr

Is that accurate for the coming season?

2) Apparently I shifted from OD 4.1 to 4.4.
What has caused this shift of league within the same division?

YT20 was only added to the game recently and therefore there are more promotions as the leagues take shape! Someone will be able to explain that better than me - but that's the gist.

In terms of your 4.1 to 4.4 I think it just automatically changes you around as it fills the leagues

Okay yeah I get you what you say about the yt20. Alright.

But for the OD league, will teams keep shuffling around every season?

At the moment, yes. End of each season the bot teams shuffle to the bottom of the leagues and this causes the re-shuffle.

Whether management choose to change things in future we don't know... :whistle

Not every season, but it's quite common for teams to be moved sideways at EOS! Not sure exactly why, presumably something to do with balancing the strength of leagues within the same division. This seaon my main team has been moved to a much stronger Div 3 one-day league than the one I was in before. :(

Any plans on changing the Player Search filters to include weeks?

Cheers
