The big question for you is next season Petersen turns 26 so training speeds will slow what will his future hold for him and Perfect Tactics as a key player, but as I found out with Zidane at high-end 6*. that training speeds are still reasonable until the player reaches 7* again. I will be able to tell you at the beginning of next season what Zidane will train like while aged 28 at 6*, hopefully it doesn't decrease further.

I have a feeling the training bands are as follows:
18-21
22-25
26-28
29-31
32-34
Petersen is high end 7* at the moment. He might make it to 8* this season, if not then he will still be a 7* player next season. This is how I think he will be like...

26- 7*
27- 6*
28- 5*
29 -5*
30- 4*
31-3*
32-2*

I'm just going to keep him as a first team player until he gets to 4*. I think he'll still be effective as a 5* player for easier games and at 4* he'll be a reserve. If the cup format remains the same then I can keep him when he's old and at 2* so my average will be lowered. I just want to keep him until he retires.. Don't want other players to get their hands on him lol. Oh yeah, and probably a friendly testimonial on his last game.

I'll find a replacement for him, although he probably won't be as good. As for my other players... Suarez will be gone in 2 seasons time when my new striker takes centre stage. I'm planning to keep all my youngsters for at least 5 seasons. If Lamb is still a fast trainer at 23 then so will my young players.
