I'm developing a very simple custom plugin for a local league who need something to manage the teams and players along with their standings and fixtures. I'm planning to go with the post_type, meta_box and taxonomy functions to develop the plugin. I'm not an expert but I know the basic usage of the functions. I'm stuck at the point where I need multiple inputs displayed in the backend to fill out the teams' standing properties; wins, draws, losses, points for example. I was able to make the fields displayed in the admin panel but I just know how one input field data can be saved but since there are several data I tried almost all the methods I know and a lot of sites out there but couldn't get them saved. Please have a look at the codes,
I can successfully save one input field data by these codes

function club_stats($post) {

<input type="text" name="rn_club_stat" id="rn_club_stat" value="<?php echo esc_attr($POS); ?>" size="1" tabindex="-1" />
<?php
}
add_action('save_post', function($id) {
if( isset($_POST['rn_club_stat']) ) {
update_post_meta(
$id,
'rn_club_stat',
strip_tags($_POST['rn_club_stat'])
);
}
});
}
}
add_action('init', function() {
new RN_Manage_Clubs();
});
But how I do save data from multiple input fields like these fields

@gorirrajoe, I have found out a solution for that using get_post_custom() function. But I will try your codes as well. Here's the snippet that did the job for me
