A little bit of the training and update

[Duncton]

Observations:

- Don't make your training schedule too intense. Your players won't like it and won't gain much towards a team bonus. I've had a schedule with intensity very hard - hard - very hard and it didn't work for me. Seems like you have to balance intensity.



- AMX works towards attacking bonus as well as towards posession bonus (midfield). So training 2ST + 2MC + 2AMX will give progress in both. I'm guessing it's the same with DMX (defensive + posession).

I always start training with a warmup or (sometimes a stretch). But if you wanna give them sprint, then I guess do some very easy attack/defence drills (1 or 2 in total) then let them sprint.
Some combinations also work extremely well, always set up the schedule like an in-game scenario. The opponent takes a corner (which is a cross, actually). You head it out, and one attacker hits the ball hard to the other half. Luckily it (intentionally) went to your ST and they have only 2 defenders.

Thus, it makes sense to use a pattern of set piece delivery-defending crosses-fast counterattacks.
