No. Players start dropping skills at 33. You have just been getting unlucky I suppose.

1-2 drops Max at 33y. It accelerates substantially at 35y.


Generally yes, but there are instances where a 33 year old can have more drops. It just depends. I know on our offsite there was discussion about drops for older players and we had an example 33 year old dropping 4-5 times already this season.

I suspect 33yo players who drop in more skills often just had lower sublevels in those skills.

One theory circulating is that players who receive training minutes (either primary or crosstraining through FT/Stamina/GS) may drop faster because the percentage of skill increase based on age drops below zero.
