Asymmetrical Friendlies Update available for all managers

[Skidz]

Hi guys I havent played a friendly for months so what I want to know is do players still gain skill points for playing friendlies? I have read the start post of this thread but it does not say whether you gain skill points. I want to know if it better to play friendlies than do training?.

the home team (friendly maker) still gets the usual gains/pains. the visiting team (friendly forced acceptee) doesnt. in short, send friendlies to still gain match XP, packs and feel the pain of condition loss and injuries

Personally, I do both. That's primarily because scheduling Friendlies will get your players extra playing time, but they do not gain in Skill Percentage nearly at the same rate as they would be playing a League match.

Typically, my players gain 8-15 skill points during a League match. For a Friendly, that drops to 3-6. I may get 1 or 2 more, but only by inserting subs who are within ~10% of gaining a point. Sometimes, you don't even get that. It doesn't really seem to matter about the level of competition, either, whether they're above or below your Level.

The one good thing about it is that the players don't get as tired to the same extent as they would in a League match, so I'll do a Practice Match soon after the Friendly ends to pad the amount of Skill Points that may have been earned.
