💪 Player Progression & Skills

Every player in your club is more than a statistic, they are a collection of stories, habits, and hidden potential. Each one evolves over time through training, fatigue, injuries, and the unpredictable events of competition. Their development is the core loop that connects management, economy, and simulation into one living system.

Players are not NFTs; they belong to the club itself, a permanent part of the NFT that represents the entire organization. As your club grows, so do its athletes, each one shaped by your decisions, luck, and persistence.

✨ Special Abilities

In addition to base stats, some players are born with unique traits, rare perks that alter dice outcomes, event probabilities, or specific conditions. A single player can possess more than one special ability, and these traits are unique to each individual. As a result, a club may include several players with different combinations of abilities, creating a diverse and strategic roster that reflects the manager’s philosophy and style.

Ability	Effect
Lucky Roll	Can trigger random bonus on dice rolls.
Aerial Threat	Gains advantage in headers and aerial duels.
Fan Favorite	Performs better when cheered or playing at home.
Striker	Higher chance of scoring in attacking plays.
Lefty	Bonus when shooting or crossing with the left foot.
Speedster	Extra advantage in sprints and fast breaks.
Enforcer	Wins more physical duels and shoulder-to-shoulder battles.
Clutch Finisher	Bonus in penalties and decisive moments.
Ghost Keeper	May pull off improbable saves as goalkeeper.
Power Shot	Adds extra force to shots, harder to stop.
Trickster	Gains advantage in dribbling duels and 1v1s.
Lionheart	Boosts performance in final minutes.
Storm Player	Performs better under rain or adverse weather.
Iron Lungs	Ignores fatigue and keeps running endlessly.
Lucky Charm	Slight luck bonus to the whole team when present.
Game Reader	Anticipates opponent moves and wins tactical duels.
Agitator	Improves performance when rivals get frustrated.
Second Ball Hunter	Higher chance of recovering rebounds or loose balls.
Night Owl	Performs better in matches played at night.
Winning Spirit	Gains momentum when the team is ahead.

These traits not only change performance, but also shape team personality, influencing the kind of club you become. A team full of “Speedsters” plays differently from one built around “Game Readers” or “Enforcers.”

🧠 Training and Evolution

Training consumes time, energy, and $CASH, but yields measurable progress. The system simulates physical and mental growth curves, meaning that training intensity, staff quality, and morale all play a role in the outcome. Overtraining may cause injuries, while neglect slows down improvement.

Strategic managers must learn when to push and when to rest, understanding that development is not linear, but psychological and situational.

In the long term, the collection of trained athletes defines the true identity and market value of your NFT club. A legendary squad isn’t minted, it’s built through patience, data, and a touch of luck.
