What Charles meant was more linked to the BB position given in the beginning by BB
Moreover, he uses salary to illustrate the potential cap :p

Just found this:

(29708.11)

Your first conclusion was already known!


Thanks - that example is very useful and a good place to start. Although he is talking in generalities, perhaps there is more there than meets the eye.

One last thing, which you probably already know -- the model for skills is multiplicative, which means that any regression you want to run should have the logs of skills on the right-hand side.


Of course, assuming the formula for capping is the same as salary.

I wonder if people didn´t see this thread or if we are just too lazy to contribute.

I agree that it will be hard to find the answear but it doesnt hurt to try.

I appreciate you pushing this thread to the top, Mannen. I have been stuck at around 70 data points for what seems like a long time (although maybe it just feels like a long time). Hopefully people keep me in mind if they realize their player is capped.

Is their a way that you could try and workout the potential cap by looking at players that aren't capped yet?
This would allow you to look at players on the transfer list and look at the top players at each potential and allow you to work out where the cap is, or more specifically, you could work out where the cap isn't. I think that would be a lot easier to do as you would have significantly more data points.

Maybe there will be another flood of data by the next salary update. I'm pretty sure my player capped and am only waiting for 2 more weeks of training and his new salary.

Wolph had the same line of thinking and I replied to him. Here is his original post: (155261.58).

Just to be clear: I am not using salary as an indicator if a player is capped. For me, seeing a training history is the only way to know. There are some cap estimates out there using salary, but they vary wildly. So at best, salary only gives a rough guide. I do not know if that is just because of sub-levels on potential or for some other reason. That is the reason for this exercise.

I knew you don't use salary as an indicator, but I assumed you also make some calculations to figure out which maximum salary fits to a certain potential. Anyway, I want to give him a little more training just to be sure:)
