he suffers from being low on stamina and low on pace.

Otherwise he's a dude.

how come one of my defenders popped playmaking lol i thought it was just midfielders that popped pm?

Along with your normal training, you get "random pops", which is training in skills which you do not train. The higher your coach has in a particular skill, the more likely the pop.

my coach is magical in playmaking skill but does it matter that hes a poor coach?

question to stamina trainees, does improving stamina actually lead to better star ratings? i know it means your guys play better and lose less during the match, but does it improve stars?

In my experience, yes, but not by much. My players with hopeless/tragic stamina before training improved by 3-4% when they were trained up to very good, and my players with higher stamina to start with haven't shown a great difference in ratings, maybe 1% or so - harder to distinguish from form changes.

hmm..ok... but what is the purpose of assistant coach then ? i thought that thanks to our assistant coaches we are getting our dear random pops :)

Assistants increase the efficiency of training. I'm not sure by how much though.

hmm, ok thanks...

Pace pops
20yo star def - solid pace
19yo - unsat pace
21yo backup keeper - unsat pace
19 yo def trainee - poor pace

Random pops
20yo star def - solid technique
19yo trainee - excellent def (will list later on)
1 drop and one rise in stamina

Stamina training
VG stamina coach
20/25 pops, no double pops.

Free random passing pop.

I rise in technique (being trained)
1 fall in stamina
Random pops in passing (2) and defending (1). One midifielder had a random pop to average passing. Which is nice.

A 30yr old popped in striker for me.

Wowzers!

I've had a pm skill drop, pop, skill drop, pop and then skill drop again.

I had two guys both pop to very good PM.

Nice!

That's weird, how old is he?

I've just had my keeper pop in stamina and drop the week after.
