Manual

Hattrick Youthclub is a browser-based tool to help you manage and analyse your Hattrick youth academy. You can manage all your current and former youth academy players, as well as adding all league and friendly matches and also each player's stars, ratings and coach comments. This can be done either automatically or by 'copy & paste' but that's not all………

• Scout and coach comments are clearly laid out and each player's current and potential skill levels are listed. One glance is enough to see if a player has reached his maximum skill level or how far he is away from it.
• In Hattrick’s Youth Academy there (skill-) twins. We can detect them and offer additional skill information to you.
• Because players that have been rejected (by other users) can be added, you have the chance to receive additional information about a player's skills.
• Using our lineup help you can find the perfect lineup. Afterwards you can send it via CHPP to Hattrick (if you are a Hattrick Supporter).
• If you want to know which position is the best for a certain player or if a player fits into your training regime for the senior team, then use skill analyzer - Here you can learn the level of your players, in a particular skill.
• In addition, you can create a diagnosis, within seconds, of the skills of your individual players based upon their star ratings. The analyses are based upon a steadily growing data-base and as the data-base grows these analyses will become more and more accurate.
• One of our newest features is the Calendar. In this calendar you can see training results and future matches, the skill-ups (pops) of your players, from the past, are displayed and you can also see a prediction of any future skill-ups. The birthdays of your players and the day on which you may promote them are, of course, also displayed. And more - but take a look yourself.

If this was still not enough for you, Hattrick Youthclub also offers many other useful features:

• How many days it is before a player can be promoted to the senior team.
• You can see if a player will not be able to play anymore in your academy (now or in the near future) because of his age.
• A profit and loss account for your youth academy, which gives you feedback on how profitable your academy is.
• Furthermore, Hattrick Youthclub offers many other small useful tools and information.
  

We are continuously working on the development of new tools and therefore it is always worth taking a look at our blog, facebook und twitter; to stay up-to-date with any changes.

Videos are used to show any new features and how it will work. To see more explanatory videos, go to Getting started

The automatic sync, which runs every 12h (if you are active on HY), fetches all important updates/news (player, matches, scouts, etc.) from Hattrick. If you want to sync preliminary you can click on the large sync button on top of the page. At the end of the sync you get an information about all news and have to confirm the changes as well.

If one of your players was scouted and rejected by another manager before, you can get the former scouting information (if the other manager as entered them to HY). Thus it is important that you also enter the scouting information of the player you have rejected on Hattrick (Foxtrick can support you by doing it). Detailed information can be found here.

The following detailed instructions are are roughly about all menu items.

Here, all promoted players that you have not sold or fired so far and their skills are listed. The following points describe functions which have not yet been explained in the menu item “Players”.

Please do ONLY change a skill because of mistyping it and NOT because of an improvement due to training in the senior team. Those changes will be detected later on when he is sold.

If you want to sell a player, but noone buys him, you will have to pay 1000 € transfer costs anyway. Because we also take this is into account, these failed transfer sales have to be registered at Hattrick youthclub too. To do so, you click on the promoted player page on the concerning player name and then at the right side underneath “failed tranfers” you click on the white box from which a calendar pops up, where you select the date. Now click on add!.
False registered data can be deleted!

On the “Lineup” site the players' orientation is shown as follows:

- defensive
- offensive
- To the middle
- To the wing

If a player had a weather event, behind the star rating appears a sun behind clouds with a + or a – (depending on whether it was a good or a bad event)

At the top there is a “select box “ which you can use to get to the lineup of a different match (five matches before and after the one you have currently selected).

In the calendar already played games are displayed, these are linked to the line up page of the match. In addition, you can see the future games here. If a player had a skill-up during a game, this is shown on the calendar as well as the forecasted skill-ups.
Besides, the birthdays and the ealiest date on which you can promote the player are displayed here.
Also you can see here when you can arrange the next friendly match, or when you can challenge your opponent if you have already found one in our Friendly pool.
Of course, personal notes can be added to the calendar!

You can integrate your calendar in your calendar software using the iCAL link on top of the calendar. Thus you can see all relevant youth team events in your calendar software or on your mobile phone.

At the skill analysis you can see the star rating for every skill (on the relevant positions) as well as the skill levels of the seperate players. To see the exact number of minutes the player has been trained in each skill just click in the topmost line on “Show training minutes”.
If a player had one, or more weather event(s), then the best WE is displayed through a cloud (with a + for a positive and a - for a negative WE) which is added to the best performance without weather event. If the player has completed only one game at that position and have had a weather event, only the cloud appears. If move the mouse over the cloud, you will see the star rating for the corresponding performance.

Here, you can see the players’ current as well as maximum skill levels (if known) clearly arranged in a matrix. If the player is fully trained a lock appears behind the skill level.
If we do not know the maximum skill, we warn you with an exclamation point in a stop sign . The calculated current skill could possibly be better than in in realilty, because the player may already have been fully trained in this skill, while we add up the “received training” to his skill.
A hint for training (by the coach), we show by an exclamation point in a yellow triangle . In the skillmatrix the gradient adapts to the skill level. If a player has a low skill level, it will be highlighted in yellow. The higher the skill level the darker the colour (via orange to red/brown).

You can share this page with others (show them to others), by clicking on the following icon:

Here you can see the star ratings your current players got for all their positions and orientations. If they got a lower rating, it will be highlighted in yellow. The higher the star rating the darker the colour (via orange to red/brown).
If a player had one, or more weather event(s), then the best WE is displayed through a cloud (with a + for a positive and a - for a negative WE) which is added to the best performance without weather event. If the player has completed only one game at that position and have had a weather event, only the cloud appears. If move the mouse over the cloud, you will see the star rating for the corresponding performance.

The Finance page is your academy’s profit and loss statement. If you have frequently inserted all the necessary data, you will see a complete overview over all the academy’s earnings and expenses. Down on the right you will hopefully see a green number – this would represent a profit.
You can choose between two different variants of financial statistics:

1. Based on actual sales price - These financial statistics are based on actual sales, so the value that the players have actually made, regardless of whether they were being trained in the senior team.
2. Based on the average transfer price, at the time of promotion - This statistic only takes into account the value that the players have when they are promoted (therefore you have to insert the average transfer price, when the player is promoted), regardless of whether the player was later sold or not.

You can manually adjust the financial statement by editing the finance of each player. To do so, just click on the players name. On the player attributes / details page you find an icon linking to the player’s finance statement. There you can add additional costs or profits for your player.

When you play against a team (league or friendly), that comes from a country that you never played against, (home and away matches are separated) your team gets coolness points. Condition for the HY-Coolness is that the manager of the team you play against, is registered with us, otherwise no points will be distributed. (because we can´t know from what country the team is)! The amount of points depends on the number of teams from a country that use our tool. That is, the fewer managers who are registered with us from this country, the more points it will get you, if you arrange a friendly against them.
You can see your points, when you click above the menu bar on your own manager's name. There you can see at what place you are in the ranking.

Here, the number of currently active users is recorded and what data they have inserted so far.
Also shown here is how extensive the site has become, by specifying the size/scope of source code and the database.

Which languages have our users picked? Which country are they from? Which currency do they use? In addition, here you find the statistics of donations, so far, most donations come from Germany, make sure that it stays that way … or that it will change (depends where you come from)!

Here you see in which category, for all academies, the most scout and coach comments are received.

Here you can see for each country, how many players are seached in which regions and what player type was searched for. Note that, of course, we can only consider the players/regions which have been registered with us.

Here, the 20 best players from the entire Hattrick Youthclub are listed in the categories highest TSI and highest transfer price. Cheating won’t help your player to appear in this list – all the values are checked regularly and the entries will be deleted/adjusted if necessary.

Here you can see what the other Youthclub users have picked as primary and secondary training in the last 32 weeks.

This is about your youthteam players.

• Who had the highest TSI?
• Which players had the biggest transfer price?
• Who achieved the most stars, who received a yellow card most frequently and who the most red?
• Who scored the most goals?
• Who was in the line up most often?

This is about your youthteam matches.

• HatStats-Ratings
• Ratings
• Stars

We work together with certain websites, in the future it will be possible that many professional manager tools load your data from our site, so that you can manage your youthplayers together with the professionals. Others check, when you promote a player to the professionals, if he is a candidate for the U20. Who else is working with us, or has a license from us can be found on this page.

You can also open “private” chat rooms, where you can speak directly with other managers. Click with the right mouse button in the list of present people, on the name of the concerning manager.

As you can imagine and also see in the statistics the whole project is very time-consuming – which is especially nasty for students like us! On top of that, we caused a lot of data traffic and cpu load, for which we have to pay each month 85 € server costs. Nevertheless, we want this tool to be free now as well as in the future, so can be used by a big group of people. In order to be minimally compensated for our enormous time spending and expenses, we added three banners on our site, but we made sure that these are disturbing as little as possible. Furthermore, there is the possibility to send us a donation so that we can continue to run this project and can continue to develop. To make a donation you simply click on upper right side on donate click.
We also added some Premium-Features to HY. These features lead to higher costs because they cause high cpu load or more network traffic. Thus you have to use your credits to use them. All features are design as they are in hattrick, you can gain no in-game advantage by them. For more information login to HY.

Small donations are also very welcome and will help us further!
