           <p>These are attributes that you do not see when you are playing the
              game in a normal way. However Championship Manager does include
              an editor, and there are also many editors available by third parties
              (<strong>see a list here</strong>). This allows you wo see the hidden
              attributes of the players. (Of course this is a way of cheating,
              so be careful before using it!)</p>
            <h5>Part 1: player abilities</h5>
            <p>There are two types of player abilities. The potential and the
              current ability.</p>
            <dl>
              <dt> </dt>
              <dt>Current ability </dt>
              <dd>This reflects the overal quality of the player at this very
                moment. It can improve or it may not, depending on the potential
                ability of the player. If you have a player with a current ability
                equalling his potential ability, then the player will never ameliorate
                and might even drop in quality if he is not well-trained or does
                not play in matches.</dd>
              <dt>Potential ability</dt>
              <dd>There are three cases
                <li>If the player is young, then his stats will be going up for
                  many years, and he might move towards his potential ability
                  (but not certainly reach it!)</li>
              </dd>
              <dd>
                <li>The player is at the moment at a bad condition (e.g. has just
                  recovered from a very serious injury that has left him out for
                  many months) In this case his current ability will fastly move
                  towards the potential ability.</li>
              </dd>
              <dd>
                <li> The player is starting to show signs of age: In this case
                  the potential ability is an indication of the &quot;history&quot;
                  of the player. He might improve in certain attributes through
                  training, but in most others he will drop and will never attain
                  his potential ability.</li>
              </dd>
              <dt>An important thing to mention: If in the editor you see a potential
                value of 0. then the player's value has not yet been determined.
                If it is -1. it means that he willl have an ability between 85-165,
                determined randomly, and if it is -2, then he might get 180-200!
                Look out for those noted with -2, cos they are the youngsters
                who will be making a huge impact in the game. You can often buy
                them cheaply, and they will serve an enormous value!</dt>
