Championship Manager 4 player guide

There are two types of attributes that are used to evaluate a player. The attributes you can see when you click on a player, and the hidden attributes. Those include several important attributes, that you can not access unless you decide to "cheat" looking at the game's editor.You can see a list of hidden attributes here.

Assessing a player using your scouts

What can you do to have the hidden attributes assessed? Send your scouts assess a player. Scouts will give you a report based mostly on potential ability and current ability.

Moreover when you have your scouts assess a player, you will then be able to view his attributes, which is very important when you are searching for youngsters and unknown players, while playing with attribute masking on!

Assessing a player you 've already bought using your coaches

Well, you have spent millions of Euros to buy a player, and then oops, he marks 4s in consequtive games. And the crowd starts criticizing you, and you are under fire by the press. Maybe this is because you made a wrong assessment in the first place. Or maybe he is a fine Striker, but his hidden attribute for Big matches or Professonalism is 1/20. Then you should ask your coaches. Coaches also see the hidden attributes and tehy will give you a more detailed report on the player!

Comparing two players

You can have the game automaticlly compare two given player. This way they will be compared attribute by attribute, indicating by a green or red mark how much better each player is compared to the other one, for its attribute. Other stats such as average ratings, and morale are also judged.

Most important, at the bottom of the screen there is an extensive comparison of the two players for each possible positions they can pdeploy in a game. This is mostly useful, because the players are compared by the game, using the same algorithms that the game engine uses to calculate match outcomes, player ratings and the stuff. I definitely advise you to take a look at that feature before choosing a player
