I've read JF's guide to power training and notice it takes 75 skill points to upgrade 1 star quality !!!! does anyone know how long it takes and how many ave green and red packs ??? has anyone done this yet ???

If it is a real fast trainer for each green he gaines around 1,25 SK in average, so around 60 for 5 to 6*, but After that will be more because the train speed will decrease with the rise of stars.

Does training rate depend on stars or Q?
for example, if a player is 6* then u promote to the next level and he becomes 5*, does he train as fast as before? (when he was 5* going onto 6* for the first time)

I've got 2 matches tomorrow, I want to do well on my Lge match (vs 2nd place team) to help my friend who's top but I have a cup game an hr 6mins later
plus I've got 4 players injured, 3 of whom are defenders
I might need to use my red packs

Yes, thats right!

Heal only the ones you really need, the risk of injury again After full heal is very high.
I only heal those injurys above 5 days and only If i really need the player.

I healed my DMC as I have no direct cover (have 2 DML and 1 DMR though) and the DL/DML as I need the squad to play both games.
Maybe next time I'll use a few team Rests instead.

Oh btw, whats wrong with this guy?

I have 3.1-3.4M, I dont really need a DC but the rest of my DCs are low value (but perform well enough to keep and even renew their contract)
I was REALLY tempted to bid for him as no one bidded for him at all but I'm keeping my last slot in my squad for a young ST.
I even let a free 25yo Q17 (3* only) GK go. I figured I'll just let my reserve GK retire and find any 3-4* GK next season when I'm a level up.
Btw, at 2.5M would he train twice as fast as my 1M players?

He would train pretty blazing fast (probably) DC's that perform well are worth keeping... no one bid maybe they can't afford him!

You can also play guys 1 place out of position for a match or 2 to get through injuries (I have played both MCs and DCs in the DMC spot, like that) and their morale may take a tiny hit but it's cheaper than a bunch of reds...

This is very true - In fact this season (season 4) is the only season that i have started to take the game serious and actually watch games and train players. Last 2 seasons i finished 3rd and won the cup and i never applied a single booster pack! - In-fact i have witnessed my own player scoring 4 goals when he had only 32% health and his moral was below half. Five players last season played the whole season out of position. I think people are too quick to panic when a player gets injured.

EDIT: May I add in those seasons I never had any win bonuses either.

I should have taken a punt on hm then
Oh well, maybe next time. I was holding out for a striker, woke up after 2hrs for it and clicked with 2s left and it didnt go through. Glad though as it went all the way to 4th knockout round so 4-5T

Wasted my red boosters as well today as I woke up late and missed my 2nd match.
So 1st team squad still on the bench/res and I lost 5-nil and knocked out of the cup in the quarters
And now 2 3rds of my team are left on 60-65% condition :-/
I had a defender who was suspended for the cup game and the game automatically swapped him for a striker in defence WTF!
I had defenders who I saved and it didnt select them and my striker wasnt even the top Q/valued player. It just trolls u and selects any player huh?

[littledude072]

sounds like my last 2 seasons
i was away on business for 2 months, wasnt active with anything online, and i got 3rd in the league, cup and CL
now im active nearly every day, got knocked out of the cup and CL first, and my players are on fire in the league
thinking i should go inactive again after i resign the 1 token a day thing

[Dman2pt]

I think that the system sub the player for the first in the sub list, no matter the position.
