It kind of depends on the player, my player is sort of young but he grows a lot, so this may vary from player to player.

To be honest, I am no expert when it comes to this but I cannot be sure, if you have the rests and a young player, I would say give it a shot, but take what I say with a pinch of salt, I am no genius :D.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have a similar situation although I'm only level 1, hence my question. I purchased two fast trainers and they're developing like beasts in training. They've gained +1,5* (almost 2 becoming 7* players) in 60-70 rest packs each (starte with 5*). I'm holding off from putting them in games because I feel they're gaining a lot through training. But I guess I'll have to play them at some point, lol.

You have to play them all the time... don't hold them; unleash them

In theory, yes. But they lose appr. 30-35 % conditioning from a game. That's approximately two hard/very hard drills. I feel like the output from a 30-35 % condition loss is greater through training than through a game. Do the players gain anything else from game experience which they don't from training sessions?

Besides, I'm still superior to my opposition even without the fast trainers. I'm already 8 points ahead in the league and through to the quarter finals in the cup.

I feel the need to intervine here.
But i always use zonal marking and low pressing in my team, so condition loss from a game is always max 20%.
I never feel the need to invest greens in my players condition because they are always 85+ before every game.

What makes a player very good in their respective positions is their white skills. So in training it is hard to develop those white skills without building the grey ones (which some consider to be a waste of greens). However, games basically horns the white skills of the player, even though it looks slow but over time it is better than your manual training.

Generally, how most of us manage our teams is to train to your satisfaction at the beginning of the season. Then let the player build up through games...

This might be it, because I'm using high pressing. I'm already dominating my games, so I believe I wouldn't concede even if I used low pressing.
Control question: are your players good to go as long as they're +85 %? I've always tried to have them over 90 %.

Thanks, mate. I joined on the first day of the season, so I haven't been active through a pre-season yet. I'll keep this in mind, though, and might start to play the players from here on. I mean, I'll have to at some point, haha.

Bro keep on playing them. They will only earn more points and most of the time these players will also earn Man of the Match.

Season 131 - Are you ready?

Drew 1-1 in the league, usual BS excuse of it just wasn’t our day, I expect to come back from this full force, I want a winning streak now, that would be nice.

Can’t post photos right now but will try later, thanks all for the support but we fall to second, 2 draws already and both at home which isn’t good to see.

We need to forget about this disappointing draw and move on, yes the team was just 11% weaker but I expected better than that, Benitez went missing for once, I have never seem him play so bad, it is like he played with a blind fold on.

That draw was disappointing, that is 3 draws at home now in the last 15 games or so and we haven’t drawn or lost away, hopefully we have 4 draws at the end of the season, 2 at home and 2 away. Well lol (I just like it even, don’t know why, it feels better for so,e reason when your team is doing better at home.)

Also won 4-1 in the cup. So that went for us, we went through 15:2 on aggregate.

League Round 8

Drew 1-1 with 11th placed team. Means we now sit 3rd, on the backfoot from 1st and 2nd for the league title.

Cup last 16

Comfortable 1-5 win, taking aggregate to 10-1. Through to 3rd consecutive Cup QF.

Manager's comments

"Really disappointed for a home draw against a weaker team. We should have done better and that will likely come back to bite us come the back-end of the season. But good to get into the Cup QF again, though we have a tough opponent. I'm proud of Riofrio, he's having a great season and I really hope that continues for him."

"Tomorrow is a huge day. We can't afford to finish 2nd in the Champions League group because we'll play the best-rated team in the last 16. We need to win tomorrow. We need a good goal difference as well. It's a big game for the club. And it will have repercussions for the future. "

I certainly will, about time, I will look for one soon. I will stay for at least one more weeks and then I will consider my options. Either stay or go.

I think I will be leaving soon, I think it is no longer sustainable,

Made it this morning in the Cup.. made it with a 1-3 win (lost my home game with 1-2)....

But now face a giant at least 20% better and most of his players are mutants (i suppose he spent real money on this game, it is not a tanker)... so at least I made to the QF in the Cup.

In the league I play #1 today with 2 points behind... so a very important game today there also.......

I wish it was when I'm looking for dedicated low level manager... I have a level 3 manager that is very good... I'm tired of top servers that reply on their players rating to win but some are crap in tactics.. Hopefully you fine a good association in platinum. I might let you if I find one. Goodluck in your matches.

I watched your draw in the league and it was all wasted chanced when you could have trailed 5-1

You watched the game? What was your account name, I can’t remember what it was, it is good I don’t lose because I am unbeaten at home in all competitions for the last 2 seasons and the 10 games I got this season.

So I nearly lost that, I know I could have lost, you are right, they had good chances but I missed Nancy’s from scenarios I would normally score from.

The disadvantage of having a high quality team is loss of wits - you tend to forget how you outsmarted others before - and wonder why a player isn't performing after pumping so many greens in

Champions League Round 5

A 2-3 victory against a team who have lost just 19 games in their history (before today!) is fantastic. But conceding the 2 goals means we need them to drop points in round six for us to go through as the number one seeds from Group A. Extremely unlikely so chances are we'll be facing the best-ranked team in the Champions League in the last 16.

League Round 9

A brilliant 4-0 victory to set us up to play 1st place tomorrow. We remain 3rd in the league.

Manager quotes

"Hugely proud of the boys winning that CL game today, hats off. We were unlucky not to put ourselves in pole position with that win, but that's what happens when you lose your home matches earlier in the competition. It's out of our hands where we go in the last 16 but whoever our opposition is, we'll give it our all. We need to rest up tonight and get ready to play the league leaders who are rated 13% higher than us. Could be a tricky one, any points from this fixture will be huge!"

Mine today's League match is at 5.40 AM. I was thinking of skipping this game. The match is against a good team with an active manager but we should win.

Just now looked at him team and he has created 4, 5 mutants. His 5, 6 star players are now 6 and 7 star with very skewed white skills. The funny thing is all the players he trained are not even fast trainers. He must have used more than 1K greens lol.

But now it looks like I will have to wake up early or sacrifice my sleep. With these latest development, my presence is necessary for the game.

Two wins today.

In the CL we won 0-3, highlights will be quick and there is nothing special here so I want to move on.

Tomorrow we play the first and it is against my friend in game.

It will be an epic showdown, him being the slight favourite but I have the 2 B’s + Inzaghi (renamed) [emoji57].

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...068490993d.png

We also have a cup Quarter Final against a 3% weaker team so that could prove rather difficult too.

Then the day after that match, I have to play a tough match against another title challenger.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e1cb18498c.png

We have the potential to lose 3 out of our next four games which would be my worst form since playing the game, never went more than 2 games without winning.

Or, if everything goes to plan, we could be in dreamland and in a great position, there is a 10% stronger opponent in the cup, I won’t have to meet him until the final should I get there but hopefully my usual 3 or 4 up front do their jobs,

I would predict us to take a few beatings here.

My Season.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e79608c76a.png

Since I took over, it is the only time I went the first 20 games unbeaten but it is my worst start out of all 3, my first two were 19-0-1, this season is 18-2-0 which is statistically slightly worse.

My home stadium’s capacity has now been upgraded to 43,000 but I would doubt any of you would care about that.

My home unbeaten run has stretched to nearly 60 games in all competitions but it won’t last much longer, it has lasted almost 2.5 seasons.

Benitez has 14 MOTM’s and is firing on on all fronts so far.

Today’s match was my 120th game since overtaking SuperDunk and I have won 114 of those matches, drawing 3 and losing the other 3.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst this season.

We got destroyed 6 - 1. We haven't conceded these many goals since I have started my club. RIP. Our 52 games unbeaten streak ended with this match. I was hoping to better my 79 games unbeaten streak.

Now I think I shouldn't have changed my winning formula to accommodate that 9 star player I got from King of the Hill Tournament. To play him I had to rest my 19 year old beast John Wishert.

These are the players he created just before our game. With this much skewed white skills he must have bought 3 star players and trained them. All these players are not even close to fast trainers. He would have used a lot more than 1K greens before this match.
