Rising [r] and Fading [f] Stars

There are players that are not “Stars” in the above sense of the word but people who operate differently from normal players in the game. For simplicity’s sake, these players are known as “rising” and “fading” stars. What makes these players different from all other players in the game is the way that they gain or lose experience from playing matches. A Rising star is a player designated as a fast learner, a player who will improve quickly from just playing in matches, whether he is coached or not. The rate of this Rising ability varies, and with each year that he plays in your team his rate of Rising will decrease, until he becomes just another normal player.

A Fading star is a tricky player to handle, as he is the sort of player who seems constantly picking up little knocks or suffering personal problems that affects his form. These players do not gain experience with each match, but actually LOSE it at a varying rate. As with rising stars, there are a number of degrees of fading star, but they get worse with every season until they reach a level where that lose an enormous amount of experience with every game played. Once that reach this level, they stay there until disposed of by the manager in some way, normally being pensioned off to the non-league.

It’s worth remembering that experience does not effects base level 12 players in ANY manner at all, so a level 12 Fading Non Star will not lose levels during the course of play.

Both of these players are flagged as being special on your squad sheet by the addition of an “[r]” indicator for Rising stars and a “[f]” for fading ones. Note that each season risers + faders get worse; eventually a riser will lose his Riser status entirely, while a fader will stick at the worse possible level of fading forever.
