Building a treble team
In this post I 'll talk a little about strategy and plans.
So this post is also connected with this - the road to success

Day 1 of the new season (my LV32) and the team is like this.
7 6* players who finished as 7* players in previous season (ZICO was from my older team which was tanking for many seasons and finished with 8* players).
The other 7 players are 0T academy youngsters . Many of them are less than the visual 1* so the avg of the team was low 4* the new season.
My League draw was vs very weak, semi-abandoned teams.
You can see them here #5

so League is secured from day 0.
Also I 'm playing in a Cup and CH.L. with -1 lv and same level opponents but not any strong team.
So with a starting team of 5*-6* players and finishing as 7*, I can have great chances for the treble.
Day 2 and the team is ready.
When I get my team set, I 'm making the plans for the next season.
So to decide which player I 'm gonna keep at the end of the season and who gonna sell the last day.
To whom I can invest my packs for development or extra positions or s.a.
I 'm making first the test (see the above post, last lines) to detect who is fast trainer, who is 2nd class fast trainer and who is slow.
And then I add positions if needed to have a team that I can play any formation I want (except DML-DMR positions).
You can see that with 15 players squad, I can play whatever I want but mostly my favorite formation 4-5-1V, even if one or two of my players are out after booking.
I don't have a 2nd good q GK. Never needed one.
In the pic you can see the player with the small orange circle, are from previous season.
The players in the green color box are the players I 'll keep for the next season too.
it's gonna be 8+ 6 low q players for a better draw.
The players with the red stripe will leave the team the last day of the season.
Those are 4 of the new players I bought.
Now lets see one by one.
SCHRIVERS the GK : bought with this s.a. with 5 tokens.
I don't believe in GKs role so I 'm not gonna spent any extra green for him.
Only the regular training when he has a full condition
POORTLIET : I gave 19 tokens, young with 3 positions and fast trainer. Spend also 45 greens for his new s.a.
he 's gonna be 7* at the end of the season without spending much.
RISBERGEN : I bought him from negotiations with 5 tokens.
He was my third proposition. Fortunately the first two (also defenders with "wall" ), didn't respond to my offers.
He is gonna leave at the end of the season. No empty room for him as I already have many young defenders with triple role and sa.
No extra training.
KROLL : Very fast trainer. He is ready from previous season. Just to do some extra training for development.
HULSHOFF : Good positions and s.a. but he is 21 y.o. already so next season he 's gonna slow down at training and I have other younger defenders.
NEESKENS : Ready from previous season. Fast trainer, no need for extra training to finish as 7* player.
MUHREN : A new AML-ML I bought with 8 tokens (if I remember well - I couldn't keep a pic). Also added MC position and C-K sa. Fast trainer, I spent some extra greens and spend more to increase his quality. But he is a "key" player and gonna stay in the team for the next 4 seasons.
JANSEN : A scout list player I bought for 54 tokens. The "investment" of the season. But he has already high q so no extra training for him.
CRUYFF : A new star, ready from previous season. Some extra training for quality.
RESEBRINK : Fast trainer. Bought as AMR for 7 tokens. Possible "key" player. I invested extra greens for ST position (but gonna be his backup role) and F-K.
REP : Bought with 13 tokens. Also gave him "One to one" sa. Well, the question mark of the season.
VAN DE KERKHOF : Ready from previous season, some extra training for quality.
HAAN : Bought with 25 tokens . Expensive (I think he was my first sign of the season - lol) but he is 99% and has 2 useful positions.
A golden sub.
SURBIER : Ready from previous season. 3 positions and sa. Some extra training for quality oly.
ZICO : A veteran from my old team. As I was in the same LV for 5 seasons, he became +8* . His last season in the team.
No extra training.
The advantage of having a small roster, is that those players are earning anyway from their official games.
Now let's talk about the training.
In this case, the GK trick is very useful to earn time.
I take all the players I want to train and give them some training with GK drills.
5 drills X -3% condition loss = 15% condition (I prefer 5 and not 6 drills because I can handle better the replenish of the greens and when the player is near the end of his new role or s.a.).
The players who are in position or s.a. development, earn from that anyway.
One set must give +1 (avg) for a good trainer.
The other players are "saving" hidden development .
After some time, I decide that for players ABC I gave enough greens, remove them from the list and continue with XYZ for development and UVW for extra position/ s.a.
Then I take the players A,X,Y who are defenders plus UVW (continue their roles) and give "Press the play" to increase their defending skills.
After that I take B,C,Z players who are attackers (plus UVW) and give them "Winger attack" which increasing their attacking skills.
That's the first part of power-training. Later I 'll see if there is need for some extra.
Also daily I make a set of the two easy/ very easy drills of the 3 categories (which gives -6,75 % condition) with a combination of the X2 bonus so to have the 40% training bonus.
At the end of the season, the basic squad has 7* quality so the next season, starting again from 6* also finishing at 7* without spending a fortune.
So, are we ready for the 12th treble ?
