Hm explain? Training is one area I have not focused on a lot tbh. I try to balance good attacking and defending coaches but as far as which coaches train which areas I have tended to use the recommend button which usually puts some coaches in different roles.

For Strength training am i looking for a fitness coach type or are the other ratings besides fitness that are going to impact that?

For training schedules I am using a set of training schedules for each position that I pulled off fm base or somewhere very early on and I assign each player to one of those.

This is definitely an area where I took a default approach when I started and could get better at.

b) scout the eastern European countries. There's normally a wealth of talent there that is relatively cheap although sometimes work permits are required (for places like Ukraine). South America is good as well but the players are normally unable to obtain work permits. One thing I do is to make sure that my filter has "EU National" checked so that it identifies the players which have dual-nationality easily;

I'll have to focus more on this. My first season was silly as I couldn't spend any money on anything, the team only had one scout and for most of the year I wasn't allowed to hire more. I expanded greatly this year but the focus was still mostly on western europe and the british isles.

c) since the target is to play in the Premier League, your transfer targets should have Premier League level quality or potential, if possible;

d) making it back to the PL immediately is the most important thing probably and I wouldn't be scared to loan some PL players to achieve that goal. You know the massive difference in financial rewards by now so it's key to get back up there. See if you can structure loan deals that allow you to purchase the player at some point.

Yep!
