Subject: skill points value of a junior level

I'm sure I once read in the forums that there was an accepted approximation as to how many additional skill points a level in junior school added to a player.

Can anyone enlighten me, or did I just imagine it?

I gathered quite a bit of data on that. I couldn't tell you if i posted it though, i mean i may have uploaded an image of the spreadsheet and put it on here but where you'd find that i'm not sure.

I think i lost all of my data as it's on a now defunct laptop. Fairly certain either Phil or Vancian did some similar stuff though.

A glance at my records in sokkerviewer reveals that 3x junior level is a good rule of thumb for total skills.

It is more often over than under - but not by much

cheers for the replies guys

pi plus or minus variance then. these developers love pi, i'm sure of it.

it might be precisely pi

with any apparent variance down to high or low subskills

I think you might have something using pi..

I was very, very bored so I've just checked through the junior pulls that I've had since the change to JS.
I've only used juniors who played a junior match every week - so in theory my Magical JC's final assessment should be fairly accurate.

The data set wasn't exactly big with 11 juniors, and a pull range from Adequate to Brilliant.

I used pi + a fraction to account for any sub-level (e.g. if a player had talent 4.0 and was formidable+3 when pulled this would be 11.75 x pi).

Using this system to predict skill points:

5 juniors = skill points as predicted
3 juniors = 1 point below prediction
3 juniors = 2 points below prediction (these juniors were formidable x2 and incredible)

So I think I'll use pi when guestimating pull levels on the TL.

Sorry to bore everyone by posting this :)

I had always used 3.1 but pi makes sense.
