Playing a player in the wrong position means you receive skill penalties, but what exactly is a skill penalty? Does it mean that my 26 year old left defender will loose -1 in each skill if played at the central defender position? Some more clarification will be very helpful.

Also, if playing a 29 year old DL as a DC would cause skill loss…. does he get it back if played as DL again?

Please share your experiences!! :)

It’s explained in the wiki: http://www.rubysoccer.com/mediawiki/index.php/Players_Skills

Your DL will have -1 if he plays at DC. If he plays (next game) at DL (or DLC) he doesn’t get skill penalties.

So if he has 91 in tackle, he will play as a 90 in tackle due to -1 loss in skill?

Yes, but the penalty is for all skills (so speed 90 will be 89 for the game etc).

Thanks for being helpful.
