Subject: Training Question

Hi all,

I just got this message:

During the training session the players were a bit absent-minded. They will not receive training this week..

Why is this? Is it some kind of random event? I set my orders for both matches this week...

you played 6 MIDS ... you can only set a maximum of 5 MID, 5 DEF, 3 ATT (obviously not all at once as that would be 14 players with GK).

It's not the MIDs that were a problem when you played me - one was a sub so that's fine...

...but you played 4 players with ATT orders in the friendly yesterday - that's why :(

quite right... just realised that the 6th MID was a sub. It was indeed the 4 ATT on wednesday that messed you up.

So you can't play 6 attackers in one week? What's the maximum - 5?

Yes you can play 6 attackers.....3 in a league game and 3 in a friendly. But NOT 4 in a single game.

In that case, it seems a bit strange that you can select a 4-2-4 formation...

good point. but if you want to play 4-2-4 you have to set one of the front 4 to MID or DEF order. to be honest the pre-made tactics are crap anyway - be sure to tweak them. there are a couple of good guides around for setting tactics.

if you train Striker then the MID players also get trained at around 50% efficiency (around 45% training).

Thanks, that's good advice
