# Chainballers (players)

Players have a total of 9 skills, namely **Stamina**, **Playmaking**, **Scoring**, **Winger**, **Goalkeeping**, **Passing**, **Defending**, **SetPieces**, **Learning Rate**, plus a **Special Trait**. The players skills will influence the matches outcome based on their role in the lineup. A player special skills can be Technical, Quick, Powerful, Unpredictable, or Winger. In certain situaFons, a player special skill could determine a major event in a game.

Players age as time passes, and their stamina decreases, making them less effective on the pitch. Their look will show the signs of aging, and their hair will become more grey as time passes. Luckily once over 40 years old (in game time), a player can retire and become a coach, thus keeping adding value to the team.
