Finding a player's target DV

Following on from the creation of my skill calculator, one logical step would be to try and find out what a player's DV needs to be at the next CR in order to secure a gain of one (or possibly two) skill bars. I have been collecting data on skill gains from change reports for some time (as well as using data supplied by gildar), and have put together this crude calculator that can help you work out what DV you should be aiming for for your players.

Note: I've supplied a minimum DV required (i.e. a value at which all the players observed with that DV have gained the needed skill) and an average DV value (where on average, the player has gained enough skill). You should definitely aim for the higher of the two DV values where possible. These values are based on actual change reports, but you still use the figures at your own risk.

The relationship between ME, AF and DV

I posted here about the relationship between ME, AF and DV, but now I've turned that info into two calculators that will allow you to approximate a player's current ME if you know their DV and AF, but also allow you to estimate a player's potential DV based on a value for average form and an amount of match experience. Note that the DV calculator will probably become inaccurate for ME values > 500 (or where a player has more than five times the ME required for DV to equal AF, which is impossible in most leagues), and that these calculators won't be accurate for players aged 33 or over.

Note that the calculators will take a decimal value for average form, so if you are VIP you may be able to get a more accurate figure from the form graph to use.

Calculating a player's exact skill

Here's a quick and easy Javascript skill calculator that will allow you to use a player's change report history (which is sadly VIP-only) to check their current skill. I've also attached an image to show you how to use it. :-)

Note: sometimes the calculator may return multiple values. This may be because there is not enough information to narrow down the player's exact skill (for example, a youngster with just one change report), or there may be one or more values that fit the data provided (which can start to happen once a player gets above 12 skill or so, and an increase of 0.1 becomes smaller than an increase of 1%).

Now updated to show the calculated history for a player's skill value.

05/08 - Updated so that, if you specify the player's current age and one result is returned, required DV for single / double will be shown. For multiple values, you will need to use the calculator I've placed here for the moment.

Transfer and loyalty calculators

Here are some calculators that I've written to deal with transfer prices and the loyalty bonus for the Job centre.

Kudos to audub for the legwork on the loyalty calculation.
