training anyone?

[FrogMan]

Well, well, well, for those of you who come to FOFC only for the Hattrick board, Front Office Football 2004 was released yesterday and we broke the board :)

Now what about the training...

I was training stamina, got 10 outfielders who bumped, 4 of them for 2 levels. My formidable stamina inner mid dropped back to excellent (bummer!) and Reimund Brigg, my uber trainee, stayed at passable stamina (double bummer!)...

Form was +2 / -7, with a -5 on starters...

FM

[Alf]

Stamina : +12 (including one up to formidable)
Form : -15 (-4 on starters...)
Experience : +2 (1 up to passable)

[NAIWF]

No PM pops, and a +4/-8 on form, with most of my midfield dropping AS USUAL before a big game :mad:

[Nyarlahotep]

My entire starting midfield (along with most of my defenders and forwards) is at excellent stamina, so I figured I try to get my keeper to pop to outstanding and unload him. It worked, but from checking out the transfer list it doesn'y look like there is much demand for outstanding keepers right now. Form was +3 overall with my starters ending up +7 overall. Also had 1 experience pop after the cup game.

[saintjo]

trained defending, no pops. and form went to crap. +1/-6

[BreizhManu]

Stamina +22
Form +4/-16
Experience one pop to wretched (one of my 2 Solid defenders)

[Airhog]

form -3/+6
Stamina +16

[Vince]

Set Pieces +11
Form +5/-8

Starter Form +2/-3

Not bad. Also have my first Excellent Set Pieces guy.

[Mr. Wednesday]

+6 set pieces, but only one of those to a forward, and not to any of my three forwards who already had solid set pieces. Got an excellent set pieces guy now, but his scoring is only weak.

I had an indifferent form update.

[Easy Mac]

+14 stamina
+1/-9 form
+1 experience

Not a bad offseason for the team.

[finkenst]

+18 stamina in round two.
-6/+2 form

What's my goal for my IMs before i switch to playmaking?

My trainnes are at 1x excellent, 3x solid, 1 passable.

The older guys have another excellent, 2 passables, and 2 inadequates.

[Easy Mac]

your goal is to not kill your form. Normally 1-2 weeks of offseason stamina training per year is good. That normally means guys can gain 1-4 levels of stamina every 2 years, which is more than enough.

[finkenst]

Thanks, Easy Mac.

*changed to playmaking*

does form matter much in div vi?

[Vince]

Form matters much everywhere. I've got a Solid defender who in Passable+ form puts up 2.5 Stars, and even gets 3 in high solid form, and most of last season he was in wretched form following an injury. The highest production he gave me was 1 star all season. Talk about frustrating...
