Pretty good playmaking training, kind of unexpected too. Very good form update with two players seeing increase of 2 levels in their form...
form (players): +7 / -3 for +4
form (levels): +9 / -3 for +6
-- Starters: +3 / -0
-- Backups: +6 / -3
** WOOT: Godly update as God improved his form two levels from weak to passable. This just saved him from a trip to the bench this week, as his backup, Stefan Olenfeldt, pulled his first 3 stars game ever last Wednesday. Other great update on the forward front is Michael Nuttall, the team's scorer extraordinaire, who increased his form from solid to excellent, now giving the team three players in excellent form. Herman Lewblom, currently benched because of form problems, may have moved a little closer to a return to league game action witha a 2 levels form increase, from wretched to weak. Getting Lewblom back in the "A" roster would be nice as he is projected to become the team's coach with a current passable experience and passable leadership. If we could only get that one last bump from passable to solid experience, he'd be the man but this won't happen with him playing only friendlies. Without seeing any visible change in his form, keeper Scott Langston saw his value jump 16k, which would indicate that his form increased some...
** BLEH: Not much bad this week, as not one effective starter saw his form drop. In fact the only starter affected is Mats Bohin who dropped from passable to inadequate, but he will be replaced in the starting lineup by Raul de Carvhalo...
starter form:
3 excellent
2 solid
6 passable
============
Average starter form: 6.7 or high passable (up from 6.4 a week ago)
value: +161k / -22k for +139k
** Great value increase this week, as is the case any time God sees any kind of upward move in his form :) His two level jump in form meant an increase of 37k in value, easily the best increase of the whole team. Langston with a 16k increase, and inner mid trainees Sanchez, with 19k, and Rasmussen, with 14k, were all good gainers too. Lewblom, who also saw his form take a 2 levels jump, saw his value increase some 16k.
playmaking: We had 2 unexpected pops in playmaking this week. First, newly pulled passable playmaker Hadar Ivgy popped to solid playmaking after only one week of training, with only a value of 32k. I know he's got poor stamina/poor passing/poor defending, but this is very low for a solid playmaker. I'm now thinking about getting rid of Rasmussen (23 yo excellent playmaker) since he'll take almost a full season to get to formidable, while Ivgy, who is 17, could get there, from his current solid in about the same time... My only problem with this is that excellent playmakers are not selling too well right now :( My other unexpected pop went to Keimo Peltola, passable winger/inadequate passer, who popped from weak to inadequate playmaking. He had received plenty of weeks of training at the winger position, so him popping shouldn't be a real surprise, but him popping THIS WEEK is what is weird. He got hurt for three weeks last week, was at +2 on Sunday and at +1 "bruised but training" on Thursday, but he didn't play this week. Is he getting the training he should have received last week? weird...

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)
