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)
