How to Training
Now onto your first steps! First thing I'd advise to do is go to your training and set training to Stamina. The reason for this is it means that you're players will receive some useful training while you figure everything out in the next week or so.

You don`t have to worry whether DEF/MID etc is set, as Stamina trains everybody.

Stamina is important for everybody. It works in a similar way as Stamina does on Inner Mids in HT. If a player has low stamina then they will run out of steam in the latter stages of the match and generally be rubbisher. How quickly a performance deteriorates is also dependant on how much running/playing a player does, but basically bad stamina is pretty sucky. So might as well set your training up to do something useful while you`re sorting out a proper training regime and squad.

In order to do that training effectively you`ll need a decent coach. If you go to your training page you will see toward the bottom a number of coaches already on your staff under "No assignment". If you go into one of these coaches you will see something similar to this:

Kevin Stewart, age: 64,
wage: 7 020 £
club: OwnedYourMum FC, country: England
excellent coach

Training effectiveness:
unearthly of stamina, tragic of keeper
formidable of pace, incredible of defender
adequate of technique, very good of playmaker
brilliant of passing, very good of striker

There`s a number of important things here. Just below the club/country line is the bit that says "Excellent coach". This is commonly referred to as your coaches General Appraisal, or General Coaching Skill. This is THE important stat for your Youth coach and your Assistant Coaches. It`s very roughly a summary of the 8 individual skills below it.

Now those 8 individual skills are what is important for your Head coach. General Appraisal on your Head Coach means nothing. For your head coach you want his skill in the stat you are training to be as high as possible. So as we`re training stamina you want him to be as high as possible in Stamina. The highest you can get on a coach is Unearthly (Divine may be possible, I'm not sure. If it is it's extremely rare). As you will see in the example above that coach is a great Stamina coach, as he`s Unearthly of stamina. He`s also quite good elsewhere, but that`s not important for you in the early stages, when money is very very tight.

So in conclusion:

Head Coach: High in individual stats.
Youth + Assistants: High in general appraisal.
Start with stamina train, and when you know your players change

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAXIMIZE TRANING SESSION.
IF YOU TRAIN DEF
Head coach Uneartly on Defence and pace.
And train 5 Def on league match and 5 Def on friendly match or national cup match. Train on defence and pace those are the first skill of Def

IF YOU TRAIN MID
Head coach Uneartly on Playmaking and Passing.
And train 5 MID on league match and 5 MID on friendly match or national cup match. Train on Playmaking and passing those are the first skill of MID

IF YOU TRAIN STRIKER
Head coach Uneartly on Striker and if possible brillant on pace and tecnique.
And train 3 Striker on league match and 3 striker on friendly match or national cup match. Train on striker and if possible tecnique and pace are all 3 skill very important for an striker


When your team play with more then 5 defenders or 5 midfielders or 3 fowards, you lost the weekly training and this messagge will appear the Thursday morning:
"During the training session the players were a bit absent-minded. They will not receive training this week.."
But exists a little TRICK for not lose the training: if you see the message (before Thursday), you must change the training in "stamina". In fact stamina is the only training works fine under this mistake (more 5 DEF or more 5 MID or more 3 ATT).

Thx for this guide , I think it would help many beginners in this game . Though i think there aren't any =x

Stamina first? i went straight for pace for my strikers...

Stamina it's most important skill on sokker for me :)

only a player with adeguate/good in stamina can play all match at max!!! ...however (with bad stamina) he play a good match only in the first period :(

So when you start this game, it's important train stamina for 2-3 weeks because you have all players in your team with few stamina....after you must train stamina only at the end of season (when you play only one match).
(edited)

I put also here (for the new users) my answer to Singapore users:

Basterd: How do I get a good junior coach? mine jr coach is only solid.Argh. Can someone enlighten me my coaches i should get to get good training (most cost efficient).

re: minimun excellent coach with 9.000 eur as max wage....

---------------------

Basterd: How many asst trainers should I have for main squad training?

re: For me the assistent trainers is the last thing that you must to have....
(and also the assistent must be minimun solid for make any effect)

In first time is useful to have a great principal trainer!!!
because with a complete principal trainer you can have more random skills up (respect a random that you can have with a normal principal and 3 assistent).

So in your case (that train pace and technique for ATT principally) you must find on TL a head coach with unealthy in pace and technique and minimun excellent (better more) in striker (because you train ATT and the "random striker up" is very important for ATT :D) with a wage between 15.000-25.000....
Attention: it's useful bring a head coach also with minimun solid/very good in stamina ;)

It's very difficul to find a right coach and you must pay for the right coach (as a good player)...but it's decisive for grown more fast the force of your team!!!


When you have a great principal and your economy ballance is good, you can start with a excellent assistent trainer....

---------------------------

p.s. Do you know what is "Random Skill up"?

Random skill up:

when you are training, for example, defence, and the player pop up also in pace....this is a random skill up (in other words when you don't train a skill, but this skills pop up anyway)

and when it happends...will be a beautiful day :)))))

--------------------------------

But if you want my advice: i can try to find the junior coach with the "Coach recruitment - Skills select".

How find a desiderable coach from "Coach recruitment - Skills select"?
(it's useful only for find junior coach or assistent...not for head coach)

For example if you want a outstanding coach: you must fill in the value "formidable/outstanding" alternative in all skills, except for keeping that you put solid/very good...it's important that the average of all skills is near to 11,5.

(In the example)
Required training skills:

formidable of stamina very good of keeper
outstanding of pace outstanding of defender
formidable of technique formidable of playmaker
outstanding of passing outstanding of striker


This isn't a scientific method, but this is the right method for search....you must be lucky!!! :D

N.b. when you start with the "coach recruitment" decide before "how many time you want to try?", usually 5-6 time: the coachs that go out, don't sack or confirm immediately but leave there and go to "fish" another coach....after 5-6 attempts look all coachs that you find and use the calculator....sum all skills and find the average value....compare this average value and the wage of coach, and look this table:

Average....Lowest
value..........wage
7,5..........2500 €
8,5..........3425 €
9,5..........5150 €
10,5........8000 €
11,5.......11475 €
12,5.......18075 €
13,5.......24125 €
14,5.......33750 €

1 € = 2 S$

Finally choice the coach with best average value and lowest wage!!!!

1° Example:
average value = 8 (coach solid)
the lowest wage is between 2.500 - 3425....and precisely 2.962,50 €

2° Example:
average value = 8,25 (coach solid too)
the lowest wage is near 3.425...about 3.300


The choice is yours: TL or Search?!? ;))

p.s. I like the risk, so I always search my assistent and Junior coach (only the head coach must be buy on TL...)

------------------------------

Rather if you want a Head coach...then you must go to buy him assolutely on TL!!!!!

the minimun wage for head coach isn't important...beacuse it's important that the head coach have the right skills that you want

up

ATTENTION!!!! you cannot play with 4 ATT...you lost the training :((

look this trick for this week, and the next weeks play with at max 5 DEF, or 5 MID or 3 ATT...

Trick:
When your team play with more then 5 defenders or 5 midfielders or 3 fowards, you lost the weekly training and this messagge will appear the Thursday morning:
"During the training session the players were a bit absent-minded. They will not receive training this week.."
But exists a little TRICK for not lose the training: if you see the message (before Thursday), you must change the training in "stamina". In fact stamina is the only training works fine under this mistake (more 5 DEF or more 5 MID or more 3 ATT).

What if i'm already training stamina and i played more than 3 ATT? Will I still get the training?

oops double...
(edited)

no, you don't lost training if you train stamina

Stamina is the only training that works fine under this mistake (more 5 DEF or more 5 MID or more 3 ATT)

I have a question... How come when i change my formation.. like when i make a new formation and use it for my games, but when i view the match report, the formation is different?

because when you make the formation, (if you save) you see the position of your players only when a ball is on center of field!

...while in match report you see the average of all position of players (in all 32 piece of field).



p.s. another obivius thing: before to change the formation, you must create a new name for your new tactic...after you choice this new tactic and can make all change that you want and save!

i've a few questions regarding coaches.

1. Is having more than 1 asst coach helpful with training?

2. If yes, what's the max no. of asst coaches to get?

3. What's the difference in training % if more than 1 coach?

4. How to get more effective training or to speed up training? More pops!

1) Yes but for buy more some Ass coach you need an solid economy.
2) The max number of ass coach it's 3
3) I don't know ... there are a lot of variable, nr of assistan, skill of assistant ecc ecc.
4) Get an coach with all skill unheartly as Head coach and 3 Assistant coach with general skill Uneartly :) but this it's impossible for me and for you.
it's possible meybe for Shadow and for Best poland users :)
So you try to get the best head coach that your economy can support :)

I have a question.

Pls take a look at my last match's report and compare it with my other league matches' reports.

Why is my defending suddenly unsatisfactory? Whereas all along my other league matches have been poor, and I have been playing the same 1st team defenders.
