Training!

[McSweeny]

well no one else started the topic... and i wanted to brag

my keeper just popped to excellent!

any idea what a 19yr old excellent would go for? Granted i'll probably train him until he is formidable, but i'm still curious

form killed me this week... just about all my starters lost one level and one or two lost 2 levels

[terpkristin]

2 weeks of stamina training and dag nab it one of my B-squad defenders is STILL at wretched stamina. :( Other than that, nothing too exciting.

My form got murdered, but 3 of the 4 guys I needed stamina bumps for got 'em. To bad the guy I needed a bump for most didn't get one. :(

[Jets80]

Is training over yet? I sure hope not, I had bunch of guys dip in value.

[FrogMan]

I predict this will be one of the most boring training update in a long time, well at least until we hit that lull in 15 more weeks :)

I have personally decided to go with set pieces, so I have some hope that some of my players' form will go up. But I won't know about any of that until I wake up tomorrow morning... Canada is kinda late on that sort of thing, upate is at 12:00 (noon) HT time, 6am eastern...

Argh. One of my starting wingbacks just dipped to poor form. Fortunately, I picked up a *** one last night on the transfer wire. A lot of my second team dipped in form, too. But at least the damage was kindof minimal. Eleven of my players, including my two starting forwards, bumped in set pieces, so woo!

SI

[MacroGuru]

6 form drops
1 form increase
1 PM pop from poor to weak on a b teamer that never played this week.

7 value increases, 7 value decreases

All in all, it was a horrible training week for me.

Hope to pick it up next week.

What a lovely training update it was. My (older) Uber-Trainee[tm] decided to pop :)

Ward Hardman
1 306 000 US$, 19 years, solid form
Has poor experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Unpredictable]

Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: magnificent Passing: weak
Winger: poor Defending: poor
Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: poor

My backup winger also popped in PM. He get's to start this week thanks to an unfortunate injury in my cup game.

Andreas Brandbeck
403 000 US$, 22 years, solid form
Has wretched experience and weak leadership abilities [Powerful]

Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: excellent Passing: passable
Winger: passable Defending: inadequate
Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: poor

all of my players stamina is now at a desireable level (defenders at atleast week, midfielders at atleast solid) so I am happy about that; but my team is in the form shitter which sucks....Will have to thikn about a week of general training to try and help my team out; depends on how i do this weekend in league play.

[MacroGuru]

Yeah, I need one of my passables to pop to solid.

One that is done, I am back to my forwards.

The avg age of my team is 19, I have a lot of young uns on this squad to train for the next 2 seasons. I did all of this before the 6.5 rules came out, it trashed my long range plans I can tell you that much.

The experience factor has hit my team hard as it is avg disastorous.

My team got hit big time with Form. Although most of the players moved up 1 on Stamina. One more week of Stamina training and my trainees should be at Passable.

You gonna do this right now, or are you gonna wait for your form to come back up a little? I'd advocate for waiting a little...

13 up in stamina (including some meaningless backups)
1 down in stamina (backup forward from formidable to exc)

4 down in form (3 starters)
1 up in form (meaningless backup)

Everyone that I needed to go up in stamina did. Now my whole midfield's exc., except one mid's solid.

Also noticed that 2 starters went up in exp. Weds. (top D to passable; super wing to weak)

[Easy Mac]

6 stamina increases
5 form increases
4 form decreases

nothing major. Back to my regime.

[robbgmaier]

did anyone else mean to switch from stamina to set pieces, and seemingly fail in the attempt? :)

dag nab it

[Alf]

8 out of my 10 starters are at excellent stamina. The 2 others at solid

4 trainees are also at excellent... 2 more at passable :D

[FrogMan]

Hattrick is now back up, I finally get to see how it went... Not bad. Training set pieces:

Form increase: 9, (4 starters)
Form decrease: 4, (1 starter)
set pieces pop: 12

Value on the increase: +28000
value on the decrease: -72000
net value movement: -44000

Kinda weird, many, many players decreased in value, but didn't change in form. Probably these players went from one extreme of a form level to the other (i.e. high passable to low passable), or could it be because of the aging that took place on Monday, since this is the first training update since the globa birthday. I seem to notice a trend among my older, non-trainable, players. Most of them didn't lose form, but they all drop in value. I don't care too much, as long as they perform...

About set pieces, too sad, my excellent SP guy didn't bump. I like to think in his case that he is now a very high excellent set pieces guys :)

Finished up 2 or 3 weeks of stamina training. Everyone but the keepers now have excellent stamina, but my form is shit.

By midseason my midfield should be a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps I can at least work my way into a relegation match, rather than be auto-demoted.

Stamina Training:

Stamina Up 1: 8
Stamina Up 2: 2
Form Drop: 8
Form Up: 1

My Starting 19 yo FW didn't improve from poor stamina though :-(

[BishopMVP]

Form -10
Stamina +18

Now, back to GK training.
