A team is the virtual football team one owns and manages in Hattrick. It consists of a number of virtual football [[players]], usually between 20 and 30 (maximum 50). The manager chooses a [[formation]] with 11 of these players (10 outfielders and 1 keeper) for each game, plus 5 substitutes (forward, midfielder, winger, defender and keeper substitutes).
{{Interwiki/Players}}
Every [[team]] in Hattrick consists of virtual football '''players''', in a number between minimum 9 and maximum 50.{{ref|ref-1}}<br> The [[manager]] chooses the players, pulling them from [[youth]] squad or buying them from [[transfer market]]. He/she also sets a [[formation]] for each match with 11 of these players (10 outfielders and 1 [[goalkeeper|keeper]]) and 7 extra [[Substitutions|substitutes]] (a keeper, a [[defender]], a [[wingback]], a [[midfielder]], a [[forward]], a [[winger]] as well as an extra substitute).
If the 50-players limit is exceeded, [[training]] is lost for that week. Please take note that the [[coach]] is considered a player, as he may well play (and often does!)
A player has got an individual '''name''' and '''ID''', along with its current '''age''', and is made up of assorted '''skills, personality, form, experience''' and '''specialties'''. He'll also have an ideal [[:Category:Player_positions|position]], but you'll need to work that out yourself through [[ratings]] achieved by each player during matches.
Each player has an individual name and ID, along with its current age, and is made up of assorted [[skills]], [[personality]], [[form]], [[experience]] and [[specialties]]. He'll also have an ideal [[:Category:Player_positions|position]], but you'll need to work that out through experience!
= Attributes =
In addition to having a specific [[player face|face]], each player is equipped with numerous attributes.
==Age==
== Main abilities ==
One of the attributes of a [[player]], is the current age of the player. Since the beginning of season 33 (late july-07) player birthdays are individual, and one HT-year is 112 days.
{{Main|skill{{!}} Let's have a rundown on the various''' skills'''}}
Before this was implemented, every player had their age updated every season on the Monday immediately before the first round of cup matches. So back then, every player in [[Hattrick]] had the same birthday.
[[File:NoFace_JaskaSilen.jpg|thumb|In the latest version of the page, the skills are shifted right]]
Each player has 8 basic skills which are: [[Stamina]], [[Goalkeeping]],
Other characteristics related to skill and performance are:
[[Form]] is one of the most important characteristics for any player, determining how well he is able to use his [[skills]]. You'll note that a good player who is out of form will often be outperformed by a not so good player at the top of his game.
;'''[[Total Skill Index]]''': TSI is a measurement of how skilled a player is; TSI increases with training and can also increase (and decrease) with form.
;'''[[Form]]''': Form is one of the most important characteristics for any player, determining how well he is able to use his skills. You'll note that a good player who is out of form will often be outperformed by a not so good player at the top of his game.
;[[Experience]]: Some players may not have the greatest abilities, but their knowledge of the game more than makes up for it. Thus, old and experienced players often play much better than their younger, greener colleagues.
;[[Loyalty]]: Players with high loyalty to the club perform better on the pitch. Loyalty increases with time spent at the club.
==Experience==
== Other attributes ==
Additional factors may not affect player's performance directly, but they provide depth to the character and in some very special cases they make something happen.
Some players may not have the greatest abilities, but their knowledge of the game more than makes up for it. Thus, old and experienced players often play much better than their younger, greener colleagues.
; Age
{{main|Age}}
Another attribute of all players is the current '''age'''.
One [[season|HT-year]] is 112 days.
For a full discussion, click [[Experience|here]].
As effect of player age, [[skill drop]]s can happen weekly:
* regardless the age will occur for highly trained skills (titanic and more);
* an extra age drop will occur for the 28yo+ players.
==Player Specialties==
; Wage
'''Some''' of the players in Hattrick have [[specialties]] that differentiate them from other players. A player may have only one specialty, and no more.
{{main|wage}}
The player’s [[wage]] is updated only when he changes his age (at 0 days) and reflects his skills and his age at that time.
; Specialties
{{Main|Specialty}}
Some of the players in Hattrick may have specialties that differentiate them from other players. A player may have only one specialty among [[quick]], [[technical]], [[powerful]], [[head]], [[unpredictable]], [[resilient]], [[support]], and no more.
Player's specialties are also affected by the weather, for example a Quick player will not play as well as he could in wet and rainy conditions.
Player's specialties are also affected by the weather, for example a Quick player will not play as well as he could in wet and rainy conditions.
Also players that have Head as their specialty will be better at scoring headers/clearing headers than another player that does not have the Head specialty.

Finally, a player also has four [[personality]] characteristics:
* leadership,
* agreeability,
* honesty,
* aggressiveness.
Players lacking in experience will tend to be booked more often when they are also highly aggressive and dishonest.
== Events ==
During a player's life, some events occur that do not change the abilities, but that mark a particular moment or affect a single match. Sometimes a player isn't able to play...
Finally, a player also has four [[personality]] characteristics, [[leadership]], [[agreeability]], [[honesty]] and [[aggressiveness]].
; Cards and Suspension
{{Main|cards}}
Players may get [[cards]] or be sent off during games and bookings and sending-offs during '''competitive''' games eventually lead to a suspensions.
Highly aggressive players, especially if they're also dishonest, tend to be booked more often than other players.
==Injury and Suspension==
Whilst a player can receive cards during friendly matches, they have no other effects than those seen during the game.
Players who are sent off still receive credit for appearing in the match for training purposes, but only for the minutes he had played (he may eventually need to play more minutes in the midweek friendly match if he was sent off in a league match).
All this is well and good, but sometimes a player isn't able to play...
A player will be suspended for the next (competitive, cup or league) match if:
* he receives two bookings during a match will automatically leading to the player being sent off.
* he has accumulated 3 bookings during a season.
This is shown by a red card symbol on the player page. You can also see how many yellow cards have been received so far.
For more information, see [[Injury]].
At the end of the season all cards are cleared.
==Yellow and Red Cards==
; Injury
{{Main|injury}}
Sometimes players set on field get injuries and there is nothing you can do about it. Long time injuried players low their form and TSI; however a bruised player can still play, giving a lower contribution than his skills.
Players may get booked or sent off during games. Two bookings during a match will automatically lead to the player being sent off. Bookings and Sending-Offs during '''competitive''' games eventually lead to a suspensions. A player will be suspended for the next (competitive, cup or league) match if he is sent off, or if he has accumulated 3 bookings during a season. This is shown by a red card symbol on the player page. You can also see how many yellow cards have been received so far. At the end of the season all [[cards]] are cleared.
; Memorable moments
{{main|Memorable moments}}
Memorable moments are benchmark events in a player's career, such as the day that he was promoted from a team's youth squad. The list of a player's memorable moments can be accessed from a link from their player page.
Whilst a player can receive cards during friendly matches, they have no other effects than those seen during the game.
==== NT players ====
{{Main|National Team}}
A player can be selected for National Team if he is considered to be one of the best of his [[country]] by the NT coach. Every country holds two squad: the senior NT and the U-20 NT.
Highly aggressive players will tend to be booked more often than other players. Especially if they're also dishonest or lacking in experience.
=== Retirement ===
{{Main|Retirement}}
Players do not voluntarily retire from Hattrick. They always assume that they can continue to play and be useful to the club!
Players who are sent off still receive credit for appearing in the match for training purposes; if a player is sent off in a league match, it is not necessary to also play him in the midweek match.
When a player's skills have declined so much so that he can't be converted to [[coach]] or he is of no further use to the club or he is of no value as a transfer (or when a player suffers a career-ending injury), he may be fired or retired to the club's [[Hall of Fame (club)|Hall of Fame]]. Occasionally, a fired player will be recycled as an externally-recruited coach for other teams.
Otherwise, a fired player is not remembered by name — if you attempt to visit his page, you will find only an impersonal note about where the player was last seen.

== Footnotes ==
# {{note|ref-1}} On 26/11/2008 the [[Hattrick Football Association]] announced that the maximum number of players allowed in a team is 50. Previously it was possible to exceed this number with various ill effects on the team (for example, the 51st player and the later bought ones are not shown in player list and had to be searched by ID).
Every team in Hattrick consists of virtual football players, in a number between minimum 9 and maximum 50.[1] The manager chooses the players, pulling them from youth squad or buying them from transfer market. He/she also sets a formation for each match with 11 of these players (10 outfielders and 1 keeper) and 7 extra substitutes (a keeper, a defender, a wingback, a midfielder, a forward, a winger as well as an extra substitute).
A player has got an individual name and ID, along with its current age, and is made up of assorted skills, personality, form, experience and specialties. He'll also have an ideal position, but you'll need to work that out yourself through ratings achieved by each player during matches.
Form is one of the most important characteristics for any player, determining how well he is able to use his skills. You'll note that a good player who is out of form will often be outperformed by a not so good player at the top of his game.
Some players may not have the greatest abilities, but their knowledge of the game more than makes up for it. Thus, old and experienced players often play much better than their younger, greener colleagues.
Players with high loyalty to the club perform better on the pitch. Loyalty increases with time spent at the club.
Other attributes
Additional factors may not affect player's performance directly, but they provide depth to the character and in some very special cases they make something happen.
Some of the players in Hattrick may have specialties that differentiate them from other players. A player may have only one specialty among quick, technical, powerful, head, unpredictable, resilient, support, and no more.
Player's specialties are also affected by the weather, for example a Quick player will not play as well as he could in wet and rainy conditions.

Finally, a player also has four personality characteristics:
leadership,
agreeability,
honesty,
aggressiveness.
Players lacking in experience will tend to be booked more often when they are also highly aggressive and dishonest.
Events
During a player's life, some events occur that do not change the abilities, but that mark a particular moment or affect a single match. Sometimes a player isn't able to play...
Players may get cards or be sent off during games and bookings and sending-offs during competitive games eventually lead to a suspensions.
Highly aggressive players, especially if they're also dishonest, tend to be booked more often than other players.
Whilst a player can receive cards during friendly matches, they have no other effects than those seen during the game.
Players who are sent off still receive credit for appearing in the match for training purposes, but only for the minutes he had played (he may eventually need to play more minutes in the midweek friendly match if he was sent off in a league match).
A player will be suspended for the next (competitive, cup or league) match if:
he receives two bookings during a match will automatically leading to the player being sent off.
he has accumulated 3 bookings during a season.
This is shown by a red card symbol on the player page. You can also see how many yellow cards have been received so far.
Sometimes players set on field get injuries and there is nothing you can do about it. Long time injuried players low their form and TSI; however a bruised player can still play, giving a lower contribution than his skills.
Memorable moments are benchmark events in a player's career, such as the day that he was promoted from a team's youth squad. The list of a player's memorable moments can be accessed from a link from their player page.
A player can be selected for National Team if he is considered to be one of the best of his country by the NT coach. Every country holds two squad: the senior NT and the U-20 NT.
Players do not voluntarily retire from Hattrick. They always assume that they can continue to play and be useful to the club!
When a player's skills have declined so much so that he can't be converted to coach or he is of no further use to the club or he is of no value as a transfer (or when a player suffers a career-ending injury), he may be fired or retired to the club's Hall of Fame. Occasionally, a fired player will be recycled as an externally-recruited coach for other teams.
Otherwise, a fired player is not remembered by name — if you attempt to visit his page, you will find only an impersonal note about where the player was last seen.
^ On 26/11/2008 the Hattrick Football Association announced that the maximum number of players allowed in a team is 50. Previously it was possible to exceed this number with various ill effects on the team (for example, the 51st player and the later bought ones are not shown in player list and had to be searched by ID).
