I've been scrounging around the Transfer List. Part of my research is to factor in the fact that a lot of training has been done with some players that are not yet accounted for in salary, so I run the current abilities through the two salary calculators that are available to us. I understand the calculators are estimates, but still . . . I have found one player whose listed salary -- the one he began the season with, and presumably does not reflect any training he may have received this season -- is considerably above that of the estimate given by either salary calculator.
What am I to make of this? The player has many skill categories that are just beneath the threshold of being bumped? I don't know what else could explain this. If this is true, then the player is quite a catch, it seems to me.
Yes, you are right about that. That player has received training without popping but his sub levels have gone up, so his salary goes up at the beginning of the season, without any visible change to his skills at all.
Eg. You have player with all Respectable (7) skills. Now using Josef Ka's salary calculator his salary is projected at $8250, but his real salary could be higher or lower based on the sublevels of those skills.
The salary calculates the skills in the middle of the levels. For example, if there were 10 sublevels, it calculates them at 5.
Hope i helped ;)
Thanks,
