There’s no fixed solution, it depends on the players you have at your disposal, so it’s important to use this purely as a guide, rather than the be all and end all of how to train your team. The key is to monitor your performances to notice where you go wrong in games and then adjust training accordingly. If your players are caught out of position too often, setting the focus to ‘tactical’ will help them understand in what positions they need to be and at what times.If your passing accuracy is poor, focussing on ‘ball control’ training would be a good idea.Having a goal-drought up front? Set general training to ‘attacking.’.If you’re conceding too many goals, adjust general training to ‘defending.’.I’ve found that setting general training to ‘balanced’ as the season begins is effective, but from them in it’ll take constant adjustment, sometimes weekly, to get the best from your players. This is where you’ll have to pay close attention to your performances. Again, make sure you monitor your squad’s training happiness levels to ensure you’re not stepping on too many toes with your instructions. A team lower in the top-flight or in the second division or below might be best suited to an ‘average’ intensity. I’ve found that with fit squads, ‘high’ intensity works fine, minimising the risk of training injuries and not working your players too hard.
It’s important to asses the level of fitness in your squad as it will allow you to make an informed decision on the intensity of your training. Once the regular season gets underway, however, these settings will need to change. If not, turn it off to ensure you have the most time you can to train. You can give them a rest day after matches, but experiment by turning this off and see if it impacts their recovery time at all. If you’re scoring a lot of goals, but conceding too many in friendlies, set it to ‘defensive positioning.’ Not scoring enough set pieces? Set the focus to ‘attacking set pieces’ and so on.Īs I’ve said, there’s plenty of time for recovery in preseason, so there’s no need to allow your players to have a rest before matches. Moreover, tactical familiarity always starts low, so adjust the slider so that there’s ‘more match training’ and the main focus of this training is ‘match tactics.’ Once familiarity increases, adjust this to areas you feel need the most work. In the past, I’ve found that the best way to organise your preseason training is to set the intensity to ‘high’ or ‘very high,’ setting the focus to ‘fitness’ for at least a month and then, depending on the amount of new signings you’ve made, ‘team cohesion’ for the next few weeks to ensure your players have a good understanding of one another. Not distracted by a busy fixture list, preseason is the time for consistently intense training as there’s plenty of recovery time between friendlies, so it allows you to get your squad ready for the new season.
Defending: Increases the focus on defensive aspects, like marking, tackling and positioning.Ball control: Weighting is given to flair, technique, first touch, dribbling and heading.Tactical: Focusses on anticipation, composure, decision-making, concentration and teamwork.Fitness: Focusses on work rate, acceleration, pace, agility, balance, jumping reach, strength, stamina and natural fitness.Balanced: no changes are made to the basic training schedule.Make sure to check any advice from the assistant manager if he feels you don’t have enough tactics being trained, he will recommend one for you or he will let you know that you’re working your players too hard, for instance. How much time is spent on one area can be adjusted with the slider at the top. General Trainingįor team training, time is split between general training, in which players focus on specific attributes, such as defending, attacking, ball control or fitness, and match preparation, which aids players’ understanding of your tactics and allows them to focus on individual match improvements, like defensive positions, attacking movement and teamwork. If a player is training well, it could indicate that they’re likely to put in a good performance in your next match. Ensure that you check this screen, too, for notable training performances as this may influence who you want in your starting line-up. You can also see your squad happiness, whether they’re content with their workload or feel you’re giving them too much work. It also highlights your squad fitness levels, who’s match fit, tired, lacking match fitness or just injured.
