A reduced training schedule brings both advantages and disadvantages


Advantages : Fewer training , Fewer injuries
Disadvantage: Whether using "Recover (drop a little)" or "Rest (drop more)",
Both "condition" and "March sharpness" will decline


However, these two things are useful and can affect the performance in the competition.


My idea is like this:

1. If it's a league with a very dense schedule of matches (like England), then this decline is basically not a problem because a large number of matches will make up for it

2. If it is a league with relatively few matches, then "arranging friendly matches" is needed to make up for this "condition" and "March sharpness".

3. Just right. According to another post I tested (posted on this forum), for young players, friendly matches are basically as valuable as official matches, providing the same growth needs and match time.

4.At the beginning of the season, friendly matches need to be arranged to ensure that "friendly matches + real matchs" = about twice a week.

Apart from being troublesome to arranged , there is no other Disadvantage to this.

Of course, the increased friendly matches will bring corresponding injury risks.
However, by comparing "increasing friendly matches" and "increasing the training schedule", the test found that this risk would be lower.

5. For some special circumstances where friendly matches cannot be arranged and this "condition" and "March sharpness" are indeed needed, then a certain amount of training schedule can only be added according to these actual situations, and "recovery" should be used as much as possible to replace "rest" in the training schedule.


So what is your recommendation then? I feel like having a full day of Rest after a match makes more sense than having Recovery.

ST - Playing Position ,in The default

What happens if you change it:
The mechanics of the game are , Part of the growth will be assigned to the green highlight attributes.

If you think these green highlighted attributes are what you need, then you can switch to this Position/Role/Duty
But once you switch, you can't change to the default state


——And for goalkeepers, should the Additional Focus still be Quickness?"

Additional Focus "Agility and Balance"  or  Additional Focus "Quickness"

The reason:
Agility has been tested as the most important attribute of goalkeepers.
Pace is the top 6 important attribute of goalkeepers


Hey, first I would like to thank you muchly for your efforts on doing this research about training phenomena.

My only fear is what happens if our player does not train for specific role & duty and other attributes that highlighted green (which he needs for that role).

I mean that my only worry is that other attributes like finishing, composure, marking, tackling will decrease in time - actually which is what I saw in my save. Should I be worried about this decrease? Because I think and I believe, for example, having a decrease in finishing, composure, technique etc on my STs will effect their scoring performance.
