Friendlies, hundreds of them

A month ago I started to add almost any active manager to my friends, and I can see some of them are playing friendly games one by one. I don't have those guys as my FB-friends, so I can't talk to them. Btw, thank you, Nordeus, for this great social aspect of the game, you lazy... arrgh! Anyway, I guess they do it to train their players instead of actual training with drills.
The Great And Aweful Al Svanberg (oh why did you leave us?!) made this testing, and now we know that efficiency of games in terms of training is equal to level 4 drills (+30%, World Class, golden globe).
Have someone tested friendlies in the same way? Does it worth it?
Does anyone here use this strategy of training?

maybe they want to test the tactical effectiveness too against about equal strentgh opponent

I play friendlies a lot, but to test tactics, formation and boost morale (vs weak, abandoned, tanking team :D).
Gaining skills on friendly match is not worth the condition loss, because they are not my desire skills (and a lot of grey skill).

If i am lower level team i would play friendlies not only because of the players attributes, but also for money income and additional rests.

I have been tested that. It seems higher than training, but the skills from friendlies are randomly to all (the white and black). Even a striker can get marking skill :(. So, i think its not worth it.

IMO friendlies are the same as associations matches, you can't make sense of them tactically. I have a higher level friend and we were facing in the cup quarter finals. He organized like 5 friendly matches and easily won all of them. In the end I knocked him out.

I use to organize friendlies, especially in those where I have only 1 official match, but with the main purpose of getting 1 green per match

actually, i also don't like to play friendly, i will immediately cancel any friendly that my friend arrange against me,

i know friendly is not worth anything to me, but they might have their own reason and own right to play friendly or just to be fun,

i just said maybe they want to test the tactical... its a word "maybe"

by the way, i also noticed the weakness of friendly that my team cannot play more than 3 match in a day,

i will usually get troll result on the 4th match of that day even though i already use rest pack and make sure they got enough condition,

so, friendly is not a good idea for me..

maybe some of the troll result i got in association match also because of this issue.. more than 3 match in a day

From what I 've seen so far, the development of players in old and new version is the same (I mean the algorithm and the conditions for gaining).
So I can say using the experience of training and giving friendlies in the old version, is that there is the same analogy of gaining and loosing condition (compare to training or official games).
So, now that we have logic injuries and a roster of 28 players, I can say that friendlies is a good deal.
You can get the daily 10% bonus with the X2 video and two sets (of -6,75%) , play your games and use the bench players (or put some extra greens to players-fast trainers you want to develop) vs easier opponents of course, so you can earn the green and blue packs, earn some money from the tickets and raise the moral of some players.
It's some kind of exchange of all above with few reds for a possible injury.
But now we have some stock of reds.

I can't imagine that someone can have serious conclusions from a friendly game (as in there it's a different algorithm) but I believe the new squad set up is a motive for organizing more friendlies lately.
but I would say friendlies might be useful to find the talented F-K and C-K specialists for this season.

Not necessary... i tried training with friendlies and normal training. Found friendlies will get your players more tired but award a little gain of skills.

Better train with coaches. My current regime so far with certain set of training regime giving me +1 level up for every 5green packs... average i spent 100 greens to upgrade for 20 level per players. For every 100 packs i can upgrade a 5* into 6* players and so forth...

With friendlies i get less. So it is not true friendlies giving u advantage than training with coaches...

Its better focus which players u want to upgrade and not all. With training coaches u can achieve this.
