training

[robbgmaier]

just so I can say I started one of these....

no pops at all. +4/-5 in form. My coach went up to Solid form. My disgust knows no bounds.

[GoldenEagle]

My 17 year old defender trainee with fromidable set pieces popped to passable defening. He should be excellent by the end of next year. Scary.

Starting keeper popped to outstanding. Good form update +4/-3

[NAIWF]

17 yo semi-clown defender to solid, +7/-6 form wise, but my assessed value cracked $ 3 million which was cool. I'm willing to bet money my form dives next week though so I can lose the only game this season that matters.

[Coffee Warlord]

Form. Sucks.

7/11 starters dropped in form.

[Sublime]

+5/-7 in form

Keeper trainee popped to Solid
22 y/o keep went up 50k in value!

[Havok]

2 Starters bumped to excellent PM... now all 3 of my starters are excellent

[Coffee Warlord]

*can't...resist*

Only excellent? Wuss.

[Masked]

My top trainee, an 18 year old, bumped to excellent playmaking. Too bad his stamina sucks.

[McSweeny]

no pops this week... back up keeper should pop to formidable next week and my starter should pop to brilliant in 2 weeks. SHOULD

on the other end of things... my form is now officially in the shitter. I've had pretty good luck with form all season long but today i was like -7/+1 and the +1 was my coach. Go figure...

hahah!!! I hate you

[Airhog]

2 of my trainees popped to excellent PM this gives me 4 Im's that put up 3 stars or better. I should be able to sell two of my oldest players and grab some 17yo's at the start of next season.

[PilotMan]

Is it just me or are we losing some some hattrick steam. Dare I suggest it, team updates don't seem to happen as often as they used too.

We had 2 passing pops, see my thread.

And another bad form week. +6/-5. Our team form is falling with 2 very important games coming up.

[saintjo]

form stayed pretty even +4/-3

but my 17 year old defending trainee popped to solid after only owning him for about 2 weeks.
plus a 29 midfielder went to inad defending for a surprise.

[KevinNU7]

I bought 17 yr PM trainees near the start of the season but made sure there stamina was shitty so I would pay less. Because of this I have entered the offseason training regimen early this year and I'm working on getting the young guns so stamina.

15 stamina pops, form 3+/5- (only one form decrease was for a starter)

My starting Middies and Wingers all have excellent stamina now and most of the trainees have inadequate stamina now.

[Hobbes-]

I didn't look at it too closely..

form for starters looked like +2/-2

pm'ing training:
18y popped to excellent pm'ing
21y popped to excellent pm'ing
20y popped to outstanding pm'ing

so now i have 3 excellents (2 for sale) 2 formidables (will pop next week) and 2 oustandings

[The Afoci]

I got my first formidable. Too bad his stamina is weak. Bastard. Read all about it

Very, very happy with training update, I am... Not so much because of the form changes, they were a wash, but because the newest Pittbull trainee, Reimund Brigg, that solid passing/solid defending 20yo, proved he was also very close to being a solid playmaker as well. He popped from passable to solid playmaking after playing only one game with the Pittbull...

Now let's see how everthing else went...

form (players): +7 / -6 for +1
form (levels): +7 / -7 for no change
-- Starters net effect: no overall change

** WOOT: GK Scott Langston is the good news among starters improving their form, as he goes to solid form for the first time since being pulled some 10 weeks ago. Newly appointed winger toward the middle, 23yo Stefan Rasmussen also improved his form, to passable, this should help our ball control quite a bit.
** BLEH: Jon Riser, the defensive IM trainee who is expected to pop to excellent playmaking this week, dropped two levels, from excellent to passable. This shouldn't be in the "bleh" section, but it's kind of sad that the team has two players in excellent form on the bench. Forward Stefan Olenfeldt, even though he's in excellent form, has only passable scoring and inadequate passing. This is no match to God's solid scoring and solid passing in passable form...

starter form:
2 excellent
2 solid
5 passable
2 inadequate
============
Average starter form: 6.4 or high passable (up from 6.7 a week ago)
** Even though I'm writing "no overall change" above, I see a drop in my average form since some players that were acquired during the week are now starters even though their form may be lower than the player they are replacing...

value: +161k / -28k for +133k
** Another great increase in value this week, very similar to the net +139k we saw last week. Best value increases go to Reimund Brigg, from 298k to 344k, an increase of 45k. GK Scott Langston, following his form improvement from passable to solid, also saw a nice value increase of 27k, and God, while he didn't see his form change, saw his value increase another 22k.

playmaking: As stated above, very great news in the pop to solid of 20yo trainee star, Reimund Brigg. We only need him to improve his form a little now. Hadar Ivgy saw only one week of action with the Pittbulls, as he was put on the market for only 25k and with a few hours before deadline, he has a bid for 66k on him. I'm happy with that price, considering he was a youth pull that was trained for only one week, only to see him pop from passable to solid playmaking, while being valued at only 32k. 23yo Stefan Rasmussen (excellent playmaker, no real secondaries) has been officially named the league game winger toward middle player, this sort of puts an end to his effective training, but will free a spot for Brigg to be trained in his place...

WKIM is the number of weeks played at inner mid since last playmaking pop (100% training)
WKWG is the number of weeks played at winger since last playmaking pop (50% training)
TOTAL is the total number of weeks of training received
TOGO is the approximative number of weeks of training the player still needs to pop in playmaking, based on the player's age, his TOTAL of weeks trained already and the fact I have a passable coach. (zero if player popped this week)

Surprisingly one of my trainees already popped to Solid PM (didn't expect that for another week or two at least). My older trainee, expected to pop to excellent in the next week or two, is still at Solid. Form pops were good, except Alfred Poe, my Solid defender, is still in Wretched form (7 weeks and counting ).


Damn Frog, Brigg is going to be a stud. Question - do Passing and Defense add to defensive and offensive team ratings even if the IM has no special orders?

Yes, they do. Only when you give a player a special order, you increase one and decrease the other. For Brigg, there's now real advantage of giving him a special order as he's already pretty good both offensively and defensively, but let's say I give him an offensive order, his solid passing becomes sort of a solid+ (7.2 for example), but his solid defending becomes a solid- (6.8 for example)...

Giving special orders is most of the times better for players with only one good secondary skill. Rossten (inadequate passing/wretched defending) is a perfect example of a player I always play offensive, while Riser (poor passing/inadequate defending) is the exact opposite, as I always play him defensively...

That's what I thought...Daed and my conversation over in the 'Defensive Coach' thread had me a little confused for a minute or two...
