TRAINING - Share your drill sequences!

[Arphaxad]

Well, I think it all depends on what you value and prioritize. Here are two examples of power training of a DC and DMC+MC I conducted. For the DC, I prioritized high skills regarding position, bravery and aggression. I wanted the DMC+MC to be a deep lying playmaker, so I focused on creativity, passing and positioning. I tried some different drill combinations to see what fit my players the most given my preferences (visible in the radar chart to the right hand side).

Thanks for sharing,

but i guess DMC/MC is not a good combination...you just have 2 greys ...so you have a lot of white skills to train...
from my point of view the following combinations make sense...
dc/dmc
dc/dl
mr/amr
st/amc

mc i would never give a additional position...mc has just to many whites to train...

and you´re right...the drill sequences depends on focus of the manager..
i try to make balanced players...

DMC/MC is not optimal, no. Because you're combining a defensive position with a neutral one which renders few grey skills. But sometimes you need versatility before anything else. Especially if you're meeting multiple managers with varying tactics and formations. When I was active I found myself needing to switch between formations requiring 3 DCs + 2 DMCs + 2 MCs in the morning and DL/R + ML/R + AML/R in the evening. In that case, you require versatility above anything else. And usually I'd keep a very strong mutant offensive line, which would allow me to experiment with the backfield.

What I always did was having at least:
DC x2
DC+DMC
DL/R
ML/R+AML/R
ST+AMC
MC x2

Other than the above combinations, I developed players and positions depending on opposition during the season. I was never fond of DC+DL/R which you mentioned, as I don't like combining center and flank positions.
