How do you develop attributes across ages and seasons?
Progress depends on a combination of ability, fitness, minutes, coach trust, squad competition and career stage rather than one isolated rating.
What changes across seasons?
Position identity remains important while contracts, clubs, coaches, injuries and opportunities change around the player.
How should progress be measured?
Track minutes, player rating, role status, statistics and coach trust instead of judging the career by only the most recent match.
