I'm not concerned about skills going up that happens alot when players get reviewed for some reason but they shouldnt go down.

Good example for me is lots of the players have had reduced skills or changes to WAWD etc from last week…

Haaland has gone from 180odd TS to 160 in a week as an example…

Thanks Paul

No problem, just gone through Charlton and these have all gone down...

Ramsay -22 skills
Robertson -13
Tsimikas -11
Konate -1
Jones -5
Musah -6
Salah -4
Jota -5
Kane -13
Greenwood -9
Saka -14 
Raphinha -4


This is in the basic and exceptional skills.

Also, on my player skills sheet the apprentice is listed as :

9999 APPRENTICE APP                 138/100  66 77 77 85 32 74 77 77 66 84   74 50 77 77 77 72 73 40 74 74 77   0  0  0  0  [138]

I'll have to check because my system is showing Haaland with 182 TS and 167 current skills...

yeah you are right the PLAYER SKILLS REPORT is not showing the correct levels I will look at it tomorrow and get back to you, thanks for the feedback...

He's definitely showing 161 on mine - though a bit surprised he is now 167 as he was fully trained up last week at 182 so don't why he has dropped 13 ts?

Thanks Paul - if could check why Haaland has lost 15 or so TS please would also be good - I can't see a reason why as he wasn't injured at all and played in the game...

Also worth saying lots of changes to the WA and WD  from the week before to this week. 

Perieria is a good example who went from this:

sensibly      reluctantly   glory seeker  glory seeker  glory seeker  constantly    sensibly       

to 

reluctantly   reluctantly   reluctantly   reluctantly   hardly ever   staunchly     constantly   


between turns?

What about your WD/WA for players?

Hi Paul,
The ones below are just examples but they have all dropped skills this week. I'm also seeing the same as the others on willingness to attack etc.

Again would appear Defenders/Fullbacks have had there WS/WA reduced.

I've had a quick look and it seems there is some corruption on the skills database and as a result some players have lost skill levels during this weeks training sessions. Tomorrow I will delete the corrupted file and then restore all players to end of week 4 skill levels and then rerun this weeks training routines and then let you know...

Could this have had an impact on this weeks games? Also with the willingness to attack/defend etc changing? Or does this all run after the games have been played?

Hi Paul,
Yes, similar problems here.
Real mixture of TS going down - eg Mpappe was 187 but now has a max of 174.
Pretty much every team member affected at Schalke.
Apprentices are mostly 7s, explaining why my Yths lost to a team full of them!
I see that GKs have an extra skill of 'AN', 'Experience Skills', and in Notes, several entries of 'FT/NEED=nn' - not sure what they all mean though.
Andy.

Pretty much same as above for me as well.

Randomly my Ecuador side played Cornwall Council in 3 friendlies as well.

Was wondering this as well, training comes before the games doesn't it? There were certainly a few strange results this week?  

My games were pretty dominant but just couldn't score, obviously can happen but seems strange that it happened quite a few times in one week?

i am pretty sure the training for this week games happened last turn.

I know coaching takes place at the end of the week but depends on whether there were changes to the WA/WD or TS which took place before the games or after - Paul will be able to confirm?

Thanks for the feedback guys. 

The Player Skills file has become partially unlinked to the main file meaning that players profiles ( incl skills, trademarks and willingness ) are no longer linked properly, which is why we are seeing strange values on the reports.

Training occurs at the end of the week and this 'disconnect' happened during Coaching after the games were run so this didnt effect any of the games.

Today I will delete the skills file restore week 4 and rerun the coaching and then the turns will be ready to resend.

However there is a wrinkle because the trademark file may have been corrupted during the Reset at the beginning of the week and this would have affected games. 

Seems only fair we have a discussion on how you as a group would like to proceed ?

Hi Paul,
This makes sense on the training. On the games I had 46 chances, 34 on target and only 1 goal across 4 teams. That feels like something off or just bad luck not sure what to make of it.

Just numerically on this, it's a 2.94% shot on target to goal ratio. Just following the maths through that means for all 4 teams to score a goal it'd take just over 136 shots on target?

I think what you've suggested above makes sense though.

Thanks for that Paul, makes sense.  Appreciate you looking into it.

I had similar stats to Rob in my games, which did seem a little off.

Appreciate it now becomes a difficult situation to resolve.  Is it possible to rerun the whole week?  Is this an option?   Difficult as those who won I'm sure wouldn't want this to happen!

I had a shocker really so all for a rerun if that is on the table?

I'll be guided by you Paul and whatever anyone else wants to do here - is it easy to re-run the games for those impacted in terms of your time?

Suspect a re-run might be a good plan if it has impacted the games - but will depend on whether its easy to do for you and the time implications...

Welcome others thoughts.

If confirmed that the reset affected the WA/WD then probably fair to re run the games… as long as I win again

These are the games involving your sides that were hugely affected by the corruption and I am going to rerun for sure, they all show obvious mathematical anomalies with their chances:goals ratio :-

Wednesday 0-0 Charlton 1:11 
Nice 0-0 Nantes 1:14
Celta 0-0 Barcelona 0:10
Penarol 0-1 Nacional 0:14
Hamburg 1-0 Hannover 1:14
Bastia 0-0 Rennais 0:8

The other games involving your other sides are certainly less affected and do not show any great anomalies so I'm going to assume these games were not affected.

Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal 11:11
Leicester 2-2 Plymouth 6:5
Watford 4-1 Banstead 9:5
Flu 2-1 Cruzeiro 9:7
Botafogo 3-0 Criciuma 10:1
Sevilla 1-5 Real Madrid 4:7
Braga 0-0 Benfica 5:9
Argentinos 1-1 Independente 6:8
Rotterdam 1-3 Twente 4:14
Bate 1-0 Torpedo Minsk 6:2
Atletico 2-0 Sociedad 11:4

This game could be rerun if both managers agree

Wolfsburg 1-2 Schalke 8:2

This is still open for discussion though...

Seems fair Paul, thanks for that.  

The Wolfsburg one was a strange one, not an unusual result on the face of it but the chances again are weighted in my favour so it's harder to tell if it was affected.  

I'd obviously prefer it to be rerun but I guess it's more Andy's decision?
