Training mini guide and tips - The day after

[davewootton1964]

Hi Guys
I am sure there is stuff on here already re this, but training my 19 yo Striker to be a AMC. Just acquired some rests but in 4 trains at 15% then 4 at 18% only had 2/50 cones! He is a pretty quick trainer - already trained him to be a free kick taker and got him from 99% to 120% all this season.
Advice please, before I waste any more tokens
Does it matter what drills you do?
TIA

Hi
couldn't wait for an answer, so tried training his worst grey skills to good effect - used 34 rests to get to the 50 cones. May be worth trying

Avoid training grey skills.
Focus on shooting, finishing, some dribble and much speed I'd say.

I merged the threads - this is the one you 're looking for and your case is in post #3.
The opposite you 're doing with a defender (to give Header or def.wall),
You give attacking drills for that.

Niko, can you pin this topic as it's important, if not a problem ofc
It contains the insides of the actual numbers in training, not just stats.
And a quick question here :

Attachment 116711

Should I work more on his Creativity, Heading and Dribbling, instead of Speed, Shooting and Fitness, what do you think ?

[nikolgiorgos]

You should aim for them but of course the others will increase too.
But next season (one day ) he will be 55% and 22 y.o. ?
hmm, don't know

Same ( don't know ).
Will see how is he performing. 5* already.
Btw, I'll be glad to see a video of yours, tutorial kind
That, ofc, when you have the spare time and mood

Do player skills still matter? Too many bad results vs even % opponents who don't train their players for me in the last weeks. This was different before, I used to win these games more often and scored a lot more goals.

I think its better to invest in overall quality now over player skills, period. What do you guys think?

[nikolgiorgos]

I agree.
A player with high white skills but not high avg quality can be a potato in normal official games (not in asso games vs same quality players).
I had a great player for many seasons, with some "mutant" skills.
Last season he was 91% but playing vs higher quality opponent defenders in Cup and CL wasn't performing as something special.
I got an offer for 5 tokens from an opponent and sold him.
He got 7s in his games, 1 goal in 4 games and as I checked now, he sold him - not anymore in his team.

This season I got a replacement for RVN
Robinho
I trained his white skills to that and now stop.
I will continue only with balance drills and next season when he 'll drop 20%, I will make some training with defending drills (like Press the play) so to raise again his quality without spending much greens.
