So are the red ones maxed out?

I would assume that means the yellow ones signal a player approaching his max?

Can someone confirm this for me please?

Yep, this is true...yellow start 5 skill points before red, and if you can see it or not depends on your "Scout level" as well

in clear "non-pete" terms:
Level 1 Scout: Yellow ! 0.25 points before the cap
Level 20 Scout: Yellow ! 5 points before the cap is hit.

Note, that Phsyicals will always cap on whole numbers, so if it turns yellow at 34.4, it will redcap at 39.0 (assuming a Level 20 Scout).
Also Note, that non-physicals will always cap according to Talent, at 36.5 for .5* to 50 for 5*
Lastly Note, that for physicals, you will get a full training before the red cap will activate, so if you are at 38.9 in STR and it will cap at 39.0, then train STR at 90%, you will get to ~39.5 STR in that training.

Hey I don't quite understand the last bit. You say that physicals will always cap on whole numbers. But then at the end you say you can finish on 39.5?

What that means is that it only matters at the beginning of the training if the skill is above the cap. If it is below the cap, you get no penalty for the training, if it is above it, the training will only be ~5% effective.

Example:
STR will cap at 39.0, 90% training
STR is at 35.4, as expected, you will get a full training progress of about 0.5 ->35.9
STR is at 38.9, again, you will get a full progress of about .5 ->39.4
STR is at 39.2 (At this point, it has already turned red!), you will only gain about 0.02 ->39.2

Note that the exact figures for how big the penalty for training above the cap is not certainly know. (Since that would require about a season worth of Training in a capped stat, which no manager wants to do with a player they plan on using)

For some reason reading this was a bit confusing to me. Only show on one point, you said five points with a level 20 Scout to read did you mean 0.5 points or five full points?

If you have a Level 20 Scout you will get the yellow ! 5.0 full points before the cap is hit.
e.g.: Cap is at 38
32.7 -> no warning
33.2 -> Yellow !
