Season Economy
More of the plan is yours to shape, the marked-this-season list, smarter plans, and a place to read what changed
A two-and-a-half-week stretch where more of the training plan came under your hands, marking the players you train this season got its own home, the plan engine grew sharper at honouring what you asked for, and we opened a place to read what shipped and why.

Boost your eleven. That is the line we keep coming back to, and the last two and a half weeks reshaped what it means in practice — more of the training plan is now yours to shape, you can mark the players you train this season the moment you spot them, the plan engine reads your intent more carefully, and there is now a place to read what changed and why. Four macro deliveries, each one a capability you did not have before this window.
More of the plan is yours to shape
Where a spreadsheet locks you into a single formula path — fixed cells, brittle references, no in-context way to override a ceiling on one exercise without breaking another — the plan should bend to how you actually work. That is the macro this window invested in. Six capabilities you now have on the training plan that you did not have before:
- The intensity ceiling you set carries forward from one plan to the next. Once you settle on the height you want your plan to climb to, the next plan you open is already aimed at that height — you do not re-set it every visit.
- Three intensity profiles to choose from depending on how aggressively you want the season to go: a conservative pace, a moderate one, and a bold one. The plan card always tells you which profile shaped what you are looking at.
- You can pull the ceiling on a single exercise without touching the rest of the plan. A given exercise climbing too fast against the 180% Rule? Hold it back on its own line; every other exercise keeps climbing under the global ceiling.
- When you raise the ceiling, the priorities you set on the player are kept in place. Raise the height, hit re-run — the attributes you marked as priorities stay marked, and the new sequence works around them instead of asking you to re-pick.
- You can read the plan numbers in either language — with your player's tier bonus woven in, or stripped down to the raw attribute number — and the page tells you which lens you are in. Both reads coexist for the same plan; you flick between them per glance.
- A ceiling you set on a single exercise survives a re-run, and a release marker clears it when you want a clean slate. Pin one exercise low, regenerate the plan, the pin is honoured. Hit the release and the pin is gone — no rebuilding the plan from scratch.
That is the flexibility a static cell grid cannot give you: ceilings and pins set in context, honoured on every re-run, undone without rebuilding the sheet.
Mark the players who train this season
Training pays off most at the end of the season, but the players worth that investment surface early — a sharp auction find, a youth promotion in the first weeks, a transfer-window steal. Top Eleven gives you no way to carry the memory across the months between. Two capabilities now hold the find across the whole season arc:
- Spot a player worth investing in early and mark them right on their card. The mark stays with the player across every match and every rotation that comes after — so the season's training window opens with your early finds already lined up, not buried under the roster.
- Your marked list stays organised across the whole season. When the end-of-season window arrives and training pays off most, you already know exactly who to focus on — the squad view surfaces only the players you have been planning to develop all along.
Smarter plans that respect what you asked for
The plan engine matured materially across this window. Four capabilities the engine now delivers that it did not before:
- Lagging attributes get pulled up across the full window of the plan. The most-behind attribute in your priorities is not just nudged on the first slot — it keeps getting room across the whole sequence until the gap closes.
- When you pick aggressive intensity, the work spreads across your priorities — no single attribute runs away from the rest. Long sequences at the bold tier no longer cluster the same exercise back-to-back; the load is distributed so every priority gets headroom.
- The plan looks ahead to where your pinned target lands and works back from there. Pin an end-of-window GRL and the sequence is shaped toward that projection, not toward the snapshot of the moment.
- Changing the ceiling re-picks the exercises cleanly under the new ceiling. The picker no longer hangs onto stale choices when the height changes — it recomputes against what you committed to, and the read-out always matches what is actually in the plan.
A place to read what changed and why
The post you are reading lives at /blog — a public place where, on every release, you can read what shipped and why. This post is the first. It is the place we will use whenever something is worth more than an inline hint inside the plan itself — a Top Eleven domain note, a deep-dive on a training mechanic, a write-up of what changed over a stretch. Open the simulate page and run a player against the new engine. You can check your credit balance on the credits page and the pricing page if you want the full economics side-by-side. If something does not match the numbers in your Top Eleven match preview, tell us — manager feedback is what shapes what we work on next. Boost your eleven.
