Update 0.5.4: Scouting Cards Gain Profile Stats & Transfer History

Every player on every AI club now carries the same profile data your squad does — form, fitness, morale, contract length, and wage — plus a per-player transfer history that records where each man came from and when.

Scouting an opponent just got more informative. Until now, an AI club's roster showed you a player's name, age, nationality, rating, traits, and value — useful, but not the full picture you get for your own squad. Version 0.5.4 brings those two views into line.

Every player on every AI club now carries the same profile fields your squad has. Form, fitness, morale, sharpness, happiness, contract length, and weekly wage are all there, set when the squad is generated. Open any club's detail page and its roster cards now show fitness, morale, form, and contract years alongside the rating and value — so you can read a rival's condition and commitment at a glance, the same way you read your own.

Alongside the profile data, each player now keeps a transfer history. Every generated player starts with a "Joined" entry for their current club, and whenever a signing or youth promotion happens, that move is logged — club, season, week, and fee. Your own squad shows the full list in each player's expanded card on the Team page; AI players show their most recent move on the scouting roster. It is the foundation for the AI transfer market to come, when players moving between clubs will leave a real, readable trail behind them.

The match stat counters — goals, assists, appearances, cards — are present on every player too, ready to be filled in once AI matches track individual scorers. For now they stay at zero, since AI fixtures simulate scorelines only.

Existing careers keep working as before. Start a fresh save and open any club in the league to see the new profile stats and transfer history on every player card.
