Last week, a user asked my opinion about the trend to play mostly with oldies (above 30 years old) in top leagues. The short story is that Hattrick players are on their performance peak on that age. But how many of the teams actually use aged players? We have 1024 teams in the top divisions. Let’s see the average age of players from all active teams in the top leagues (1st graph) and the average age of the top 11 players based on their TSI (2nd graph).
As you can see players of 28-31 years old are the most popular in top ranking teams. Are you also interested in the raw data? Here you can find the above graphs in numbers.
Average Age | Frequency | Frequency (Top 11) |
---|---|---|
18 | 2 | 2 |
19 | 1 | 4 |
20 | 3 | 3 |
21 | 4 | 6 |

Did you enjoy it? Do you want more blog posts like this one? We plan to publish one blog post every month and once or twice per month a simple graph that could be about users demographic, economy, match engine, forums or whatever you feel it would be great! Send us your feedback and tell us what exactly you want to do for the next time.
Would be interesting to see raw numbers for players as well, because I assume most teams keep at least a couple of slightly younger players around for training purposes, even in the top division. If a team plays with 8x 33 year olds and 3x 26 year olds, it is effectively a team of 33 year olds, but statistically a team of 30 year olds
Hi! Nice statistics 🙂 Keep them this way.
I’m looking forward for new data regarding our extraordinary motor engine, who is a truly big mystery!
Thanks,
Nice data and graph! How about finding out how important day trading is getting high rates? This could be arranged by plotting the amount of transfers in club history against average hatstats per team.
Would be interesting to see the average age of users as well. My bet is more than 30.
Well over 50 (here I am…!)
Great job! Can’t wait for another research…
Yeap, more blog posts like this one would be nice. Statistics on specialties, lineups, tactics etc. over the top teams could be relevant.
The first reaction is very good. It should not have been average ages, but raw numbers for the individual players.
I like to see a long list of the best players from all the teams of Hattrick. Especially with star ratings and TSI’s. Also tell which age the players have.
I really enjoy this devblog!
It would be great to get an update on these stats now that we are in 2020! Thanks in advance!
