Your players' morale

The Morale

Morale is a dynamic individual player value that can increase or decrease depending on your club’s performance and the time played by your players in official matches.

The morale level affects the effectiveness of players' skills in matches and, therefore, their potential performance.

The current maximum value of the player’s morale is 100.

A new column graphically displays the morale level in the squad overview. To check the current value of each player's morale, simply hover over the Morale icon next to your player.

Morale levels

Depending on the value of the player’s morale, the morale level can be one of the following:

• Abysmal - Morale value between 1-20
• Very poor - Morale value between 21-31
• Poor - Morale value between 32 - 47
• Okay - Morale value between 48 - 68
• Good - Morale value between 69 - 89
• Very Good - Morale value between 90+

Morale level impact on your players’ performance

Your players’ morale level has an important role in your players’ performance.

Depending on the morale level, your players can get a bonus, a malus or maintain their performance level:

• Abysmal – strength malus between 25% - 15.5%
• Very poor – Strength malus between 15% - 10.5%
• Poor – Strength malus between 10% - 1%
• Okay: 

• Morale value 48-59 - no bonus/malus
• Morale value 60 - 68 - bonus 0.5% - 1%
• Good – strength bonus between 2% - 5%
• Very good – strength bonus between 6% - 10%

What’s influencing your players’ morale

There are several factors that impact the morale value of your players in official matches (League, IM, Cup).

Playing time

When a player is used in official matches his morale increases based on how much he plays in the match. 

Playtime up to 45 minutes -> The morale increases by a random value between 0.05 to 0.35 points 

Playtime more than 45 minutes -> The morale increases by a random value between 0.40 to 0.75 points

Absence in matches

If the player is not in the line-up for more than 3 official matches in series, their morale value will start going down as follows:

• Match 4 to 10: their morale will decrease by a value between 1 to 5 points per match
• Match 11 to 15: their morale will decrease by a value between 5 to 10 points per match
• Match 15+: their morale will decrease by 15 points

Club’s performance

Depending on the official match a player is part of, he will get the following:

League matches

• Win: +1.2 points per player for players in the line-up (players on the bench may gain or lose small morale value)
• Draw: random value between 0 and +0.5 per player (line-up and bench)
• Loss: -1.45 per player for players in the line-up and -1 for players on the bench

Cup matches

• Win: +1.3 points per player for players in the line-up (players on the bench may gain or lose small morale value)
• Loss: -1.55 per player for players in the line-up and -1 for players on the bench

International Masters matches

• Win: +1.4 points per player for players in the line-up (players on the bench may gain or lose small morale value)
• Draw: random value between 0 and +0.7 per player (line-up and bench)
• Loss: -1.65 per player for players in the line-up and -1 for players on the bench

Win/Loss series 

Win Series

After the club achieves 2 wins in series in any type of official matches, each player will receive a +0.10 increase on top of the Win increase, starting with the 3^rd win in series.

For example, if a club wins the 3^rd official match in a row, let’s say a League match, the players in the line-up will get +1.2 for the win plus extra 0.10 for the Win Streak.

The Streak bonus stops when the Wins streak is interrupted by a draw or loss, or when a maximum of 0.5 points bonus is reached.

Loss series

After the club achieved 2 losses in a row in any type of official matches, each player in the line-up will receive -0.10 on top of the Loss decrease, starting with the 3^rd loss in a row.

For example, if a club loses the 3^rd official match in a row, let’s say a League match, the players in the line-up will get -1.45 for the loss plus extra -0.10 for the Loss Streak.

The Streak decrease stops when the Loss streak is interrupted by a draw or win, or when a maximum of  -0.5 points is reached.

Injuries

Depending on the duration of the injury, the player morale will be impacted as follows:

• -1 to -10 morale points for an injury of 1-10 days
• -11 to - 15 morale points if the injury duration is 11 - 15+ days)

Red/Yellow cards

In matches, a yellow/ red card given to a player will affect their morale value:

• -10 Morale points for a direct red
• -5 Morale points for a second yellow in the same match

How to boost the Morale of your players

Aside from your club’s performance, the playtime, and other ways, you can increase the morale of your player using the Player Morale cards.

There are 3 different types of Player Morale cards:

• Silent Support (uncommon)
  • This card increases morale value by +2.
• Pep Talk (rare)
  • This card increases morale value by +4.
• Confidence boost (ultrarare)
  • This card increases morale value by +6.

Youth Team morale

• Youth players have this value but the value is not visible.
• The Morale value when a youth player is promoted to the main team is assigned randomly and it can be Okay (48-68) or Good (69-89)
