How do you do it? Sorry for the stupid question.

You cannot do it in the game: it is a hidden value. You'd have to use a program such as Genie Scout or FMM.

You can't do it using the game.

You can download an external program to check these things, but generally I would consider that cheating.

Alternatively, you can load up the data editor to see the data as it is at the start of the 2007/08 season.

Generally cheating is fun , use gene scout or FMM to find player's CA/PA

It's not a stupid question.

As has been mentioned CA & PA is a hidden value in the game, along with stuff like injury proneness and consistency.

If you want to see a player's CA & PA then I would recommend FM Genie. Using that would be considered a form of cheating but that's open to interpretation and it doesn't matter if you cheat so long as you enjoy your game anyway.

For me though CA & PA is not the best judge of a player and a higher CA does not guarantee a better player.
