Only 3 tech and 1 striking this week

However when I look at the juniors

+17

It's like a sea of green

Unexpected massive week!!

8 pops - 3 passing, 2 pace, 1 stamina, 1 striker & 1 defending.

Training pace at the moment.

Question gent.... When does the training week start?? I think I have incorrectly been starting on Monday. If I want to train a player to 100% in a week (ie play them in both the league & a friendly) & I want to train them on say Technique. Do I change my training to Technique on Thursday & then it will cover the Sunday & Wednesday games? It seems obvious but I just assumed the Sokker week started on Monday!

Training happens on Thursday so technically training starts on Friday with the U-21 games and ends on Wednesday with the friendly or cup games. I would say playing around 110 minutes a week will get full training.

also doesnt matter how many times or when you change the training. whatever is set at 06:30 sokker time on thursday morning is what is trained.
it totals up play time and bases training on that.

if you had as many pops as you say you cant be doing too bad :)

also playing 2 games = 100% training.

1 league game = ~85% training
1 friendly = ~75% training

so playing 1 player in the 2 games gives him an extra 15% training only... if he plays 45 minutes in the second game he gains around 10% of the available 15%...

its best to have 5 players for each match as there is pretty much 160% available training for 2 players or 100% for one... your choice :)

Thanks Nin & Kenyard.

Yeah I'm pretty much up to speed with the breakdown of the percentages of training (after reading all yer very useful training guides & newbie guide. I think it's good to go back to them after a while when they make more sense coz there is so much to take in in the first few months on this game)

For some reason though it never occurred to me until last week that if the training pops occur on a Thursday then Thursday morning much be when it all starts!!

With that in mind... it's best to train stamina at the end of end season/start of the other coz they all train regards of who plays blah, blah blah... SO what date should I start the stamina training if I only want to do it for the 2 weeks pre-season??

pretty much yeah. week 15 you can arrange a friendly sure.
week 16 has a qualifier also if you get the chance to play it (top teams in 2nd divisions or first divisions, position 5-7 in prem +first divisions). so if you do get it, you can get the 2 matches that week (i purposely finished 5th in the first division one season so i could get the extra training week)
week 16 (or week 0 as the game calls it) then has the cup game. so 1 game only. its on the wednesday so no friendlies this week.
since its the first week of the cup everyone plays it.

basically if you need 2 weeks stamina do them both weeks assuming you dont have a qualifier.

arrange your friendly for week 15 - players who play get general training anyway which is handy, even if you are only doing stamina.

if you need 1 week of stamina only, then do it week 15, and do normal training week 16. (cup games are official games so give higher % training)
if you have a qualifier do the opposite. training week 15, stamina week 16, as you have 2 games week 15 then ;)

start the stamina training... well basically switch to it the thursday after the last game. so you play the last game on the sunday week 14. friendly wednesday. normal training thursday.
then anytime after this you can switch it to stamina so long as its before the following thursday :)

Crystal clear as always my friend... thanks very much.

Barring a disaster in the final two games I should go up automatic (I kinda have to coz I'll most likely end up against Madrista otherwise & I would find that very tough) so hopefully no play off for me.

Promoting from 3. league
Birr 12 12 0 0 88:1 36
MKS POGOŃ 12 12 0 0 75:0 36
clondalkin red head 12 12 0 0 47:2 36
Argus Athletic 12 12 0 0 45:2 36
belase tornado 12 12 0 0 42:2 36


you have a 3 goal advantage on belase tornado for the promotion spot (top 4 go up automatically)

will come down to goal difference
clondalkin are only 2 ahead of you also, so all 3 of ye are fighting for the last 2 spots really

Yep I saw that on the cz link... I'm hopeful coz I won the division last season so my final two games are at home... my only fear is I dont really have a striker back up so an injury to one of my trio in the final two games could be huge...

It's squeaky bum time as they say!! :-)

goodluck with it :)
first division is a pain for a few seasons. much better money but competeing is a pain altogether

Thanks man...

I'm fully expecting it will be seriously tough alright but bring it on!!

Unfortunately for you we may end up in the same division next season!! If we do, take easy on me!! ;)

i reckon ill get the auto promotion straight off..
i have a 10 point average advantage over every other team there minimum at the moment.. though ill be doing a big rebuild next season i reckon...
may even leave it a season before trying to get promoted again..

Aah excellent, I see, you are a cunning planner... I have a simple plan... get up & try desperately to stay up!!! :)

well its much better match income anyway and sponsors also... id very much recommend it :D
