There used to be an online resource for the online Soccer Management game Hattrick to determine how far away your player was from leveling up in experience. This was a very useful resource when looking at converting a player into a coach.
That resource has since disappeared (host no longer active), but I managed to obtain a cached copy from Google and I’ll reproduce it here (with some minor updates).
Experience
Experience is the attribute that improves a players abilities during a match. It is also taken into effect for penalty shootouts and selecting which player should be captain of your team. However, determining when a player will increase their experience is not easy to figure out.
After some research (by many people), it’s been ascertained that a player requires 28 ‘points’ to increase a level of experience and the player will increase their experience by the following amounts:
| Match type | Points |
|---|---|
| Friendly match | 0.1 |
| International friendly match | 0.2 |
| League match | 1 |
| Cup match | 2 |
| National team match (World Cup Tournament) | 10* |
| National team match (Friendly) | 4* |
* In National team matches, all players are awarded the experience increase. The ‘formula’ for National team tournament matches has been tested thoroughly and should be correct.
With the implementation of substitutions and minute based training, the increase of experience a player receives is also minute based (time spend on the pitch). For example, if a player plays 45 minutes in a cup match, he will receive an increase of 1 point.
Estimating a Player’s experience sub level
This method is only possible with players who have been in your team for at least 16 weeks, as it involves checking their coach conversion cost.
To determine a player’s experience sub level, do the following:
- In Hattrick, navigate to the Training page.
- Select ‘Change Coach’ and then ‘Use existing player’.
- Select the player in question and click OK.
- The trainer type does not matter for this purpose, so ignore this. Make a note of the cost to convert the player into an inadequate coach (For the process of estimating the sub level, we only look at the cost for an inadequate coach, no matter what the player’s experience level).
- Match the cost against the table below to work out the player’s sub level.
| Points | Inadequate | Passable | Solid | Excellent | Formidable | Outstanding | Brillant | Magnificent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 43800 | 35200 | 29400 | 25200 | 21900 | 19500 | 17400 | 15900 |
| 1 | 43100 | 34700 | 29000 | 25000 | 21700 | 19300 | 17300 | 15800 |
| 3 | 42300 | 34200 | 28700 | 24700 | 21500 | 19200 | 17200 | 15700 |
| 5 | 41600 | 33700 | 28400 | 24500 | 21300 | 19000 | 17100 | 15600 |
| 7 | 40900 | 33300 | 28000 | 24200 | 21100 | 18900 | 17000 | 15500 |
| 9 | 40300 | 32800 | 27800 | 24000 | 21000 | 18700 | 16800 | 15400 |
| 11 | 39600 | 32400 | 27500 | 23700 | 20800 | 18600 | 16700 | 15300 |
| 13 | 39000 | 32000 | 27200 | 23400 | 20600 | 18500 | 16600 | 15200 |
| 15 | 38400 | 31600 | 26900 | 23100 | 20400 | 18300 | 16500 | 15100 |
| 17 | 37800 | 31200 | 26600 | 22900 | 20300 | 18100 | 16400 | 15000 |
| 19 | 37300 | 30800 | 26300 | 22700 | 20100 | 17900 | 16300 | 14900 |
| 21 | 36700 | 30400 | 26000 | 22500 | 20000 | 17800 | 16200 | 14800 |
| 23 | 36200 | 30100 | 25700 | 22300 | 19800 | 17700 | 16100 | 14700 |
| 25 | 35700 | 29700 | 25500 | 22100 | 19600 | 17600 | 16000 | 14600 |
| 27 | 35200 | 29400 | 25200 | 21900 | 19500 | 17400 | 15900 | 14500 |
Example: If a player’s conversion cost is US$40300 and the player has inadequate experience, the player has between 9.0 and 10.9 experience points (for that level).

Hi Cyntech,
This is a very useful tool.
Thanks,
