Association and skills

[Simon Melling]

Just a quick one and will probably sound stupid for asking, but do players skills improve by playing association matches?

[Gert Funck]

No, they won't. And there is no stats either. The plus side is that they don't get tired afterwards.

But a real shame there is no topscores no gains for players doing well and so on

[Simon Melling]

Yeah shame for that.
On the flip side though I can start planning my training for the start of the next season. I know how much each player needs to progress to the next level/star.

Do you think it would be better to wait to the start of the next season to 'power train' my players to the next star? I assume it wouldn't take as long with them all losing a star next season?

and i have a not good experience, i have the association match for these two weekend... every time i play the association with some player loan out.... the next regular match i have.... i can't win.... like the CL final.... it was start 30min after the association match a the morning (association match at 6:10am... while the CL was at 6:40 am) and i have the same set of the players.... and as some of you read my "lucky" post.... i lost the CL by 4:5 .... with the opposite score me 4 time in 45 min while no team score me more than 2 goal in a single match this season (only have 11 GA in league in 25 games)... (plus i am the stronger one in the CL.... 141.7% vs 118.2%....very troll result)

so far, that happen for my regular match everytime i have an association match right before the regular match.... so....still keep an eye on it see what is happening

You do get the three coloured packs for each match, though - the same as if you'd played a League match.

Yes, my 4* ST/AML who I only wheel out when I play weak teams or Butterfly formation scored 6 goals (and got 1 MoM) in the two Association matches today - and he won't get (official) credit for it...
