Thought I'd pick up on sp gain through the stars. The following is based on average figures, regardless of condition or morale, conducted over at least 20 repetitions of each training type at heach * (except for 4* data as the next star came after around 15 reps).

In summary I found, at the time I did the tests, that training gains dropped around 20-25% through the stars.

On the Personal Trainer, its not for me. If my time was so tight that I needed to resort to it then it'd be too tight to be playing. I'd only be doing it if Kynan found a way to send me 10k T and even then I'd probably just spam on the mobile.

And ofc picking up old guys can sometimes mean picking up ex-Scouts or players that've had an intensive training.

I took a punt on the following guy this Season (because I was playing ST as winger at Day1). He started 84Q and he'll probably finish 84Q but he's been worth the 1T and cash paid already.



I train to be competitive. My leagues are usually 6-7* and I'm never the highest Q (with last 2 seasons being an exception).

Just find a way that suits your available time, aspirations and competition. There are many ways to entertained and frustrated by the game.
