Hey ZaZ, just to follow up on your approach. Are there any additional findings from your point of view regarding the ZaZ Light and the ZaZ Updated? Is there a conclusion for these schedules?

So, if we look on Zaz example, after AFC match there is travel and we can not use superrest but why he didn't use superrest before Brighton match and after Aston Villa match on sunday 31.12.?


Like I said: 'he decided'.
It is your choice what to do and there is no rule that tells you to do this or that. I myself, like I said, am catching up on the rest day, but you do not have to (and ZaZ doesn't in this case).

Oh, and there is no right or wrong. ;-)

While I am reading all this stuff about training, only thing I know after all is I know nothing :)
Please can You explain me why you dont have 3xrest after match with AFC and Aston Villa while after other match you have?
And your Updated training, it is not plugANDplay for training, we must adjust it ourselfs for 2 or 3 matches per week?
thank You very much!


On those days the first 'unit' of the day is travel (since it's an away game), as you can see. As ZaZ has stated on the first page of this thread, travel prevents the super rest effect (3 x rest) so that he decides to train on that day. I for myself try to catch up on the super rest the day after the travel.

And yes, from my point of view you will always have to have an eye on the training since usually match schedules change in the course of a season and you will have to react to that. In addition your league (wherever you are managing) might play on different days of the week so that it might make sense to set up different training plans (for different match days) on the basis of ZaZ example. Once you have saved them it is just a short click to use them for the coming training week when the according news item appears on sundays.
Thanks for your response ZaZ, I'm looking forward to hear what your opinion will be after comparison.
Continum said: So you actually are picking a role in individual training along with quickness as additional focus? That will bring a higher training load I imagine, and how does that effect injuries? So far I've been using your light schedule along with playing position and additional focus set to quickness. No role training.

I think that choosing a role for positional training does not mean a higher training load. However, you can check this yourself on a player's training page which also shows the training load. Choose a role and unselect it and check if the training load changes.

@ZaZ What are your findings about the light training schedule? Especially regarding injury proneness, match sharpness and suitability for youth teams (and maybe development of goalkeepers)?
I have been using this schedule for only some weeks but I have the (first) impression that match sharpness is clearly more difficult to maintain.
Thank you for this interesting and obviously great tactic. I am keen on trying it in my game.
However, I am thinking about swapping the DM (de) for a halfback. What are your thoughts about this?
