F

 * Forecast (prevision, short: fc): Shows how much the player will develop during his entire career. It shows what average he'll reach, how long will it take him to reach it and when his average will start to fall down. Each forecast costs 10 golden balls to check. Forecast is dependent upon the % of your senior or junior coach depending if your player is a junior or a senior. If there is a lower % coach,the forecast may drop as the coach does not have the proper skills to train a player to his forecast potential. On the contrary and higher % coach may raise the forecast of the player as the coach may have the skills to train the player to exceed the previous forecast.  Morale at lower than 99% also affects forecast.
 * FAQ: (Frequently Asked Questions) Main source of information as you begin the game and ascend to the top.
 * Friendly : When two managers are friends, and they both have a mutually available date on the calendar, they may set up scrimmage games, where the ticket revenue of the home team is split in half by both teams.
