I’m new to FM and just started FM24 with Hertha BSC in the 2. Bundesliga. Training is the part I understand least, so thanks a lot for all your testing and work in this thread.
I’m a bit confused which schedules are for FM24 vs FM26, and I want to maximize CA growth for young players in season 1 (aiming for promotion).
1. For FM24, is 331 [Physical][Match Practice][Attacking][Defending] the best “fast CA” schedule for season 1?
2. Is it a good plan to switch in season 2 to 317 [Physical]x2 [Chance Conversion][Attacking] after selling players and bringing in higher-potential youth?
3. For 331, rest settings should be: No pitch/gym x3, then Double intensity x2 — correct?
4. Individual additional focus: Do I need to set Additional Focus = “Quickness” for every player on the individual training page (at least for all outfield players)?
5. On individual training, do I need to set roles/positions so Match Practice trains the right attributes + position familiarity?
6. You tested with 2 matches/week — if I usually have 1 match/week, should I add weekly friendlies or change 331?
7. If sharpness/cohesion become problems, what’s the best minimal tweak?
8. For goalkeepers: is Match Practice Training enough, or should I add individual GK training/focus?
Thanks in advance! Expand
1. Yes, but keep in mind that at the same time as your ability levels go up, your relatively useless ability levels go up a lot
2. It's your choice. There are several training plans, and the amount of increase in ability is all there. You can choose whatever you want. I used the rank 334 on the score3 sheet based on the author's latest Excel, and the rank 282 on the score4 sheet for the rank 2nd tier, youth training.
3. Some plans or settings are correct.
4. Yes
5. Do not select roles/position and leave them blank.
6. Just one game a week is enough to grow.
7. The important thing is sharpness and you can raise a certain amount through friendly matches. It's normal for bench resources to be less sharp. If possible, one of the ways to increase sharpness is to put them in a friendly match in the second team.
Kriek said: I can't maintain a good match sharpness with trainings with too much rest, like 506 (Growth from ZaZ if I'm not mistaken). I find 156 interesting, with a good score, a decent use of CA and big gain in pace & acceleration. What are the "con" of this training? Should I put all my player in the attacking unit for this one, I can't find the information again Expand
Training plan 156 is a really good plan. You don't have to set up players in an offensive or defensive group separately. The only downside is that the increase in dribbling ability is small.
B80 said: Hello guys, sorry if not 100% relevant... but is it possible for 'most' players to become natural or very, very close to...by playing in a certain position, but not having individual training set.
Im not talking a cb who is red or nothing, becoming a amc (i dont know... perhaps is possible for youth player... or with certain personalilty), but say generally already half/3 quarters way there. So a aml 'yellow' becoming, green/natural... purely by playing first team official games, friendlies and/or reserves.
Can anyone advise if theyve observed this or understand if this mechanic is possible... from extremely impressive levels of research into this game.
I do appreciate efforts and outcomes you all publish. For a busy family man, it allows me to enjoy game in way I want to, now free time of premium... compared to when I could spend tens of hours a week since championship manager 92/93 on the Amiga
Cheers! Expand
I think it can get very close, yes.
In my save, Rashford’s positional familiarity changed to Natural just by playing him as a left winger consistently, without setting any individual position training.

Your tests are always incredibly helpful in planning my training. Thank you so much. I'm curious to see how effective this plan is: [Quickness] + [Match Practice] + [Attacking] x2 + [Double Intensity] + [Additional Focus Quickness]. I can't find the training plan I suggested in Excel. Thank you as always.
It always makes the Football Manager more interesting thanks to the information from your writing. Thank you so much.
I'm just asking because I'm curious about the difference in performance according to the feet used by the central midfielder in the 433 CBP87 451 tactic, which corresponds to 7,8,9 in the table you posted.
I know you're very busy, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could experiment.
The training schedules listed in the comment right below, written by GeorgeFloydOverdosed, are all so good that you can basically use any of them.
