Halfway through the first season I'm already level 77, which is 10 higher than the next best player on my team. The team has a lot of young players as well. Will they improve along the way? Will the manager of the team bring in other higher level players? As the team does better will there be more money for the manager to get players? Or does the game work in such a way that you have to transfer to the better clubs to play with better players and 2nd tier teams will always remain 2nd tier teams? EDIT: Also, how high does that little +n number go next to your player rating go? Right now I'm 77 +11. Does that mean I'm playing as an 88 level player?

MWDowns, here's my understanding:
You can carry the team as far as you can, but many of the players on the team unfortunately have low ceilings at Yeovil. You will continue to outgrow your teammates there.

As far as the edit question, that number you see is the amount you have grown in a year. +11. Meaning you went from a 66 to start, up to a 77 in one year.
