Subject: Speed of pops

Is there any general concensus as to which skills pop the quickest and which skills pop the slowest with maybe a band of pop times for such skills? I guess this would be difficult to put together as it also depends on age and skill it is popping to. Ignoring stamina, as I would assume this pops the quickest.

i think pace takes the longest although (skill level of players) does affect this as far as i know everything else pops at the same rate

It does? Ok, thanks for that, that gives me food for thought.

Pace about 15 percent slower & passing about 15 percent quicker than def,tech and pm. Not 100% sure but thats something I read on international long ago. Anyone with better knowledge feel free to correct me^^

Does it matter if I have assistant coaches or not?

Sorry, I'll re-phrase that. Obviously, it matters but if I don't have them how much slower will these guys pop and would this affect anything else? Thanks.

That last question has been asked regularly over the years and I don't think anyone really knows the answer.

At least, I don't believe anybody has done sufficient research in it. It is thought that 3 is the magic number, so get what you can afford, even if it is only 3 "goods".

As for the first question and IMO only;

• technique, passing, keeper, defender, playmaker and striker all train at the same speed.
• pace I think approximately 33% slower than the above.
• stamina you can get double pops from top end coaches and young players. Having a coach high on stamina while not directly training will decrease the time it take to plop.

i had proof that the passing and playmaker skill trained at the same rate… then my laptop broke, so yo will have to take my word for it…

Many thanks for that :-)
