Question in regards to training

MacroGuru · 07-09-2003, 11:28 AM

Ok, I am going to be training Stamina in the offseason, so would I start doing that tomorrow after training happens.

Also, I am at a crossroads for this weeks training. I have some forwards with training already, but I have a keeper that is passable sitting at 172K, and my backup is inad.

I have 6 MF's I could train, some of them may pop I am not sure.

I have been training forwards since I took this team over.

What do you guys think I should do?

Keep training the forwards
Train the MF's
Train the Keepers?

Personally, I'd stick to your MF's. They are the core of your team and will be the key to long term success.

Keep training the forwards. If I had stayed in D5 I was considering switching to forward training. It will take a year or so to start getting some up to excellent/formidable, but once you get there you rake in serious money. Definitely do not switch to GK training since your passable is barely passable and both he and your inadequate would take at least 5-6 weeks to bump a level.

MacroGuru · 07-09-2003, 02:26 PM

Thanks for the input.

Do you feel it would be worth training playmaking this week just to see if I can get a few pops in MF?

Desnudo · 07-09-2003, 02:41 PM

Eckfried Schwarz or Friedrich Sooväli might be close at MF, but it's so hard to tell with all the supporting stats involved and with Eckfried's age. I'd forget about keeper training, the Passable guy is a long way off. Solid is around 280-300 K in value AFIK.

Staffan Brandfeldt and Alexander Fredslund don't look anywhere close at forward.

If you've been training midfield all season, stick with it this week, I didn't see any players besides MF that looked all that close.

MacroGuru · 07-09-2003, 02:48 PM

I have actually been training forwards when I picked the team up about 3 to 4 weeks ago.

I have had 2 pop(Staffan popped last week, I sold my 3 best to recover some cash), the others will be close. Lopez, Lee, Ohland have had 3 weeks training, so I think they may hit it here this week. (I will keep with Forwards)

Then Next week would you suggest Stamina training for the next couple of weeks?

Desnudo · 07-09-2003, 03:30 PM

I'm training MF myself, so a forward trainer would better know what the off season training should be specifically. I guess I'd take a look at my midfield stamina and see if it needs improvement (it probably does if you just got the team), otherwise you can probably train set pieces.

Thanks for the help Desnudo
