ROSTER TERMS

Player Name: Self explanatory, but can only be up to 12 characters long.

Player Age: The age of that player in years. Each season each player gets older by one year, and depending on position will retire at some point (see rules).
It is placed in the roster with no use for the game running program and needed only for statistics.

Player Nationality: The country the player is from, abbreviated to three characters. Like the age, it is not used by the game running program and placed in the roster only for statistics.

The first three attributes are mostly for statistics, and don't really have any meaning to the program (except the name, which must be exactly the same in the roster and in the teamsheets)

The rest of the attributes below are used and changed by the program.

This is the right place to say that in ESMS the player has no predefined position, and it is up to the manager to decide, depending on the player's skills, where he want the player to
play in each game.

Shot Stopping (ST): ST is the player's shot-stopping ability. In other words, his goalkeeping ability. The manager should place the player with the highest St as the goalkeeper. Of course the manager is not obligated to do so!

Tackling (TK): TK is the player's tackling skill. Mostly used by players playing in the defence.

Passing (PS): PS is the player's passing skill. Mostly used by players in the midfield, for creating opportunities and assists.

Shooting (SH): The player's shooting skill.

Aggression (AG): AG Is the player's aggression. The aggression of a player doesn't change it stays the same the season, but can change slightly between seasons (not in all ESMS leagues.)
In ESMS the aggression is a value between 1 and 100 and it defines how aggressive the player plays.

Keeping Ability (KAB): KAB is the player's ability for the ST skill. A number which ranges from 0 to 1000 and can affect the player's skills. When this number hits 1000 the ST skill increases by 1.

Tackling Ability (TAB): TAB is the player's ability for the TK skill. A number which ranges from 0 to 1000 and can affect the player's skills. When this number hits 1000 the TK skill increases by 1.

Passing Ability (PAB): PAB is the player's ability for the PS skill. A number which ranges from 0 to 1000 and can affect the player's skills. When this number hits 1000 the PS skill increases by 1.

Shooting Ability (SAB): SAB is the player's ability for the SH skill. A number which ranges from 0 to 1000 and can affect the player's skills. When this number hits 1000 the SH skill increases by 1.

Games (GAM): Simply the number of games the player played. If the player participated in a game, even if played a single minute, it will be counted as another game when the administrator will run the roster updating tool.

Substitute Appearances (SUB): The number of games in which the player entered the match as a substitute.

Minutes Played (MIN): The number of minutes played by the player through the season

Man of the match awards (MOM): The number of games in which the player was named as the man of the match

Saves (SAV): The total number of saves the player has made. Only if the player played as a goalkeeper can he make any saves.

Goals Conceded (CON): The number of goals conceded by the player. Only if the player played as a goalkeeper does any of the goals conceded count.

Key Tackles (KTK): The total number of key tackles the player made to stop scoring opportunities. Usually defenders will make the highest number of tackles.

Key Passes (KPS): The total number of key passes made by the player.

Shots at goal (SHT): The total number of shots made by the player.

Goals (GLS): The total number of goals scored by the player.

Assists (ASS): The total number of assists made by the player. Assists are made when a player passes to a another player who then scores a goal. The player who made the pass is credited with the assist.

Disciplinary Points (DP): The total amount of disciplinary points accumulated by the player during the games.
