Hey guys, a really good deep dive into TEAM training today, Let us know what you've learnt from the video - and don't forget to sub to Leyo - link in the description!
Do you know if changing the matchdays from TV broadcasting days affect the TV income/revenue though? As it won't be worthwhile to change that if you are managing a lower/poorer team?
@@SomeGamerGuyUK Hi James! I usually don't choose that option, but logically I think it could very well affect that yes. So up to you if you want to miss out on that money! 🙂
Oh man, I playing this game about 3-4 years, but never can’t understand training clearly, but you opened my eyes and motivate learning it more and more, thank for this. Really good to understand what you think about it.
from 14:25 this is the best tip i ever heard when it comes to training!!! I already have a schedule and after hearing this I just swap around a few session so that 2 days before a game I'm in the dark green. and it does do have a great effect
Another brilliant tutorial vid. Whilst I do often leave training to my assistant, I also tend to tweak a lot of it myself. After this I'm gonna make sure I take on the training myself, it's really not that hard by the looks of it
Thanks! 🙂Yeeessss, that's EXACTLY the reason I wanted to make these videos... Awesome stuff man, let me know how it goes and if you can see the difference!
Even though i knew a lot of stuff talked about in this video, i still learned few tips and tricks that i was not aware of. Amazing stuff. Thanks for the video
Top video, thanks! Just a detail about the scheduling... if you want the game to schedule matches on Wednesdays and Saturdays only, it is preferrable to do it before you create the save. I haven't tested it much, but I dont think any change would impact scheduling games of the current season, and if so, changes might apply starting from next season. Also, I believe it impacts youth and reserve games as well.
Thanks Ahmed! Yeah to be honest, I haven't tested it much either, so I can't tell you for sure. But yeah, I think in general that IF you want to do it like that, you best do it for each save. Thanks again!
loving the video, thanks so much for explaining :D I'm just screaming internally, because I started with a part time squad and I have barely any training slots available :D
Hi Leyodemus. I have only just discovered your tutorial videos but wanted to thank you for delivering these extremely valuable guides in such a clear, concise and non patronising way. I have thoroughly enjoyed them (I have sadly always delegated training and mentoring and only partially understood individual training). I LOVE the rags to riches challenge of any FM game and the first thing I always do is download the lower league databases and play my local non-league team in England (Level 10 or 11). I wonder whether you might consider a supplementary short video that helps us Lower League Managers navigate the problems of Amateur and Part Time clubs? I think you have given me enough ideas in these videos to have a go (My idea is a 4 week rotational plan), but I would be very interested in your thoughts too. Thanks once again and keep up the fantastic work. EDIT - is there a good video that you know of that describes the benefits of the Rensie Skin?
Hi Phil, and thanks for those kind words man, I really appreciate that! Well, I've been thinking about doing a one club "non-league to glory" save on my own channel, which I then could combine with a series of short and snappy lower league tips. Not sure if and when, but definitely something I am interested in doing 🙂Thanks again for the support!
Great vid as always Leyo. Quick question for anyone reading this... if opting to not move matches for tv (i.e. selecting the use Weds & Sat match option in preferences) then do you miss out on tv revenue as a result?
Thanks Warren, much appreciated! To be brutally honest...I've never tried it! I always leave it on the default value and just make sure I adjust my training schedules around that. Feel free to test it though, and let me know! 🤙
I do like to concentrate on individual roles and training sessions like defending from the front or playing out from the back to get the units to train either ones focus. I also like to include vision training, also the match practice and team bonding I use a lot.
Initially: I let my assistant to set up the template for training, but I always tweak the schedule. This was crucial when I first started. I use the same template for Manchester United's offseason in reality, which is already revealed to be physical and tactical-heavy schedule (maybe defense). 5:57 I think I ignored this a bit. I almost overhauled my entire staff, but realized I hired too many fitness staff, so I'll replace 2 fitness coach for 2 defensive coaches.
usually until 18 i just put them with general trainings not focusing on anything , just 1 or 2 things that i think are necessary, after that i put training with some individual trainings
Thanks you make it look so easy but what if you want to maximise the attributes for the individual roles to have the longtime effect over the „daily use“? I am asking because it seems that there is so much room left for improvement in your shown examples (at the cost of some of the daily use training units)
Hi Matthew! In theory, yes...but it could be that you have different "goals" for their training, right? For example: less focus on tact.familiarity, but super high focus on the individual roles, which could mean you would have to add/delete some sessions to try and accomplish just that. But the principles pretty much all stay the same indeed. Hope that helps, let me know!
Hi Mark! Hard to give "one tip to rule them all" here, but I would suggest to look at the session cards you put in the schedules. Those will indicate the effect they have on the players, so by using that information you can kind of "predict" what is going to happen with their fitness levels, both "match fitness" and "condition". Hope that helps, let me know!
Hi Martyn! You definitely could yeah, but it also depends if your training goals are the same for those other teams. Example: maybe there you don't care about tact. familiarity or team happiness as much, so you can prioritise individual development. But the core principle stay the same, in my opinion. Hope that helps, let me know!
So what if some of my players are on international duty? Does the engine regognize that? I mean, in real life the absente players would not "benefit" from the team training I have set up. However, they actually do get some training (not with my squad, obviously). Any thoughts on this? Great video, btw. Very helpful!!
Hi Carsten! Good question really... Not 100% sure, but since there is no training module when you are managing a nation in FM, I would think the players "don't train" according to the game, and so also get no benefit. The international matches will serve just as a regular match, so players get a "training" boost for the playing position and all of that. Hope this helps!
Great informative video, but how can you set training plans for teams who are part time and only train 2 days a week? I'm managing at Farsley, currently in Vanarama League and only have training Tuesday and Thursday. If got a midweek game can only have one training day maximum.
Hi Paul, and thanks! Well, I'm having the same situation in my tier 10 journeyman 🙂 For these situations I like to narrow down my priorities to tactical familiarity, team cohesion and player fitness by going for a Match Practice session on every single training day, along with another tactical/match prep session. If/when they get familiar with the tactics, the other session would be a general session or Team Bonding or whatever session the players are requesting. Reason: in those lower leagues I mainly want fit players who are united as a team and kinda know what they have to do on the pitch, instead of technically gifted wonderkids who can decide a match on their own 🙂The Match Practice session just about ticks all those boxes, also Team Cohesion and Happiness, which can be a struggle because a lot of transfer action tends to happen in those lower leagues, and that can 100% disrupt a team's dynamics! Hope this helps? Let me know!
Hi Joachim! Hmmm, it should be possible after every gameday, but I THINK I have read somewhere that this was still a bug. I'm not sure though, but if you simply can't choose the Match Review session in the schedule, there's not much you can do I think. Hopefully it will get solved soon!
On individual training, if a player becomes unhappy about their individual training that they have been assigned to even though they need it how would you deal with them
Hi Kenny! Check out my previous video on individual training, especially the "Follow up" chapter. A link is down in this video's description. In short: I check if he has a reason to complain, by checking the attributes being worked on and other data. If I see he doesn't really have a reason, I just ask myself if I'm bothered that he'll stay unhappy with that. Most of the time, that answer is no 🙂 Hope that helps!
I use team focus general training; I don't use any unit focus (hence no individual role training) training. I do so because I don't assign individual roles to my players ( I use additional focus however). Am I doing it wrong? Thank you for your videos :)
Hi Gokhan! Additional Focus, weak foot training and player trait training are extra training workload items and will always be executed, even if you don't assign those individual roles. So the way you do it, is a perfectly valid option! 🙂
Hey, great video. Very informative. One thing I don't quite understand: How does it work with the fitness of the players? My problem is that my players are always fatigued and have low condition. Does it make sense to use physical training while season? Is the attribute stamina then boosted for the week? I myself use a very hard preseason schedule. However, it worked better when the assistant made the schedule. I have been playing counterpress in the CL for 3 seasons.
For the comparison, please use a team without the top training and coaches. It's so meh seeing tests done with Liverpool because they are basically FM easy mode. Besides if training manually shows better results at a mid level side it'll clearly fly at Liverpool and City, but the reverse may not be so likely.
Good question Ozzy! The main difference imo is: from a player's point of view, Recovery is an actual "active" training session and Rest is not. So if you fill up every possible Rest session with a Recovery session: in theory this is maybe better as far as the impacts go, but the players may start to complain like "boss, you're keeping us in here ALL WEEK?". Hope that explanation makes sense? I've never really tested it myself though, so feel free to try it and let me know! 🙂
Great video. What do you do when you use multiples totally differents tactics in your season...for example, i use a 3-1-3-1-2 when i play away and a 4-1-5 at home, with differents roles for the same players...it seems to be very hard ! Thanks to answers, if not, you do a great job... Sorry for my english, i'm from France ...🤫🤫🤔😆
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated! And no worries, your English is just fine 🙂 Well, the fact is that it is hard for players in FM to learn or at least "get familiar" with multiple positions/roles/duties at the same time... So if I use multiple tactics myself, I try to keep them as "similar" as possible, if you know what I mean. If you don't do this, it's a challenge for sure, but we all love a challenge right? I would advice to put a lot of tact.familiarity sessions in your training schedules, and switch that "primary trained tactic" every week or month. That should help, I hope. Good luck!
@@Leyodemus So after 2 weeks of playing, i focus on the versality of a player in particular...: Fatawu is now at 19 in MC,MOC,BTC and MOG position and 20 in MOD,MD and MG position, I training himself for one years in MOG (Winger role) but he never go to 20... My conclusion is that a player can't not have more than three 20 in a position (19 is still a natural postion). Love From France 🙂
Couple of questions: 1. What’s the best for semi pro league? There are just 2 available days and 2 slots per week 2. Training week sessions have big effect for the next match. When I used balanced schedule for a week I lost my game agains Man City. When I chose attacking schedule week , then I won Man City 0:6 away match. So how to choose right schedule before some of the matches?
Amazing video and amazing series. So logically set out. Would have taken a lot of prep. One query re pre season training - I use a lot more of the physical sessions (endurance, resistance etc) during the week with recovery straight afterwards. I saw you are only using a couple of these. Any thoughts as to the right approach? I just thought you would hold off fatigue later in the season by concentrating on these early on.
Hi!! These videos do take a lot of work indeed, so thanks for the kind words! Yeah to be honest, I tend to go "easy" on them, I think 🙂But there really is no "right" or "wrong" approach though, because it also depends on different things that will make you want to change focus in pre season or even regular season. A lot of new players coming in? A new tactic? A lot of games and maybe injuries? All those things influence the way I tend to tweak these schedules. That being said, I think it's really okay to go somewhat harder on them in pre season, by using more physical sessions. Hope that makes sense and helps? Let me know! Thanks again!
Hi DJ! In theory you should be able to put a match review in after EVERY game, but I have read before that it's still a bug in the game... So hopefully they will fix it soon, because it doesn't make sense that you can't do it after Sunday games of course 🙂
hey thanks for the video! i have several assistant coaches and 2 of them i bought only for training (good attributes). however, i can not assign them to take over training (they dont exist in dropdown to select). i can only always assign the same single assistant coach as it was at save start.... anyone knows what i am missing???
Good shout! Yes I absolutely do that, but not always. So only when I see that a lot of games are coming up, and I want to make sure that my players don't get exhausted.
@@airoxx_24 doesn't matter at all, so with any tactic you like! 👌My sessions are never based on a tactical style. If you want to try that, check out those templates the game gives you when you start creating a new schedule. There should be templates there for every style, so you can see which sessions the game "links" to each style. Hope this helps, let me know! 👌
Hi! Well, it mainly depends on WHY they are unhappy. Have a look at my video on individual training, link is in this video's description. Hope that helps, let me know! 🤞
Awesome video.. I did watch the videos from RDF years ago on training. Many things have changes since I didn't play these times. What about training schedules for lower-league teams? As far as I could experience, semi-professional teams cannot use the full calender there to put in different training sessions. Do you have any recommendations for that sort of lower league training?
Hi Ismail, and thanks! Yes, you are completely correct: semi professional teams only have a couple of days available. There is no real answer to this question, because it will depend on the different needs of your team in different times in the season. Feel free to hop into one of the livestreams on my own channel. I am managing a team in tier 8 in England, so I can show you how I do it. 🙂
@@Leyodemus hey thanks for the answer.. Yeah I will definitely check them out. Have you done the training in streams before? Each video is almost more than 2h 😅😅 if you should feature this in the upcoming stream, I'll wait for it 👍👍
@@isocan666 whahahaha, yeah I leave the whole stream on there as a video, sorry 🙂Just jump into chat during one of the next streams, and I'll show you!
They'd have to change to professional once they start climbing the pyramid. In similar fashion, contracts should switch from part-time to full-time. -Stam
Hi Ibrahim! To be honest, I have literally never played the mobile version, but if I would have to guess, I would think you have way less options in the mobile version... but again, I don't really know. Hope someone else can answer this question for you! 🙏
Hi! If your players are playing a lot of matches, this will always be higher and the only way to decrease it is to actually rest them. Other than that, I would make sure to use a lot of recovery sessions in your team training schedules, because those greatly reduce injury risk! Also check your Medical Centre and Training > Rest screens to maybe find some physio recommendations. Hope this helps, let me know!
Hi Nate! Rarely I do, because I have the tendency to move my highest potential players over to my first team to give them some playing time asap. Just a personal choice though. IF you however decide to do it, I would go big and do team training as well to avoid injuries and all, because the AI doesn't care too much about that when creating those training schedules 🙂
Hi! As I mention in the video: no download links from me, because I want to encourage you to do it yourself 🙂If you want to download some, I bet there are lots to be found online though. Good luck!
I have tried to use the "Periodization" theory on this, but I've stopped doing it since I heard and saw a video where it states that it doesn't matter what kind of training session you use, all of them work in the same way. Meaning: since we're developing player attributes and not systems, using (e.g.) a "Defending" training session doesn't really means the team is getting "better" at defending. So, in other words: Try to use all the sessions indiscriminately as soon as you can, so you're players can develop as much as their attributes they can, and they can perform, in average, whichever role you want them to play.
Not sure if I 100% understand what you are saying, but I will only use team training for the 5 goals I mention in the video. And you say "we are not developing systems", but it's important to get your players FAMILIAR with those systems, right? That's the exact reason tactical familiarity is one of my 5 goals. Every player has a PA and my goal is to get them to that PA as soon as possible, but also in the "direction" (so position/role/duty-related attributes) that I want, and that's where individual training comes in, not team training. Hope that makes sense? Let me know!
Hey mate, great video. Question: is it me or does your assistant ALWAYS give you bad advice in terms of training? Like, even the best assistant never seems to be on the same page as me when training and developing players. Even when I take over all training Im constantly being told that: 1) not to individually train attributes for a player because they "arent a weakness" 2) ALWAYS train weak foot even if their weak foot isnt that weak anymore 3) never believes the traits I want a player to train will work 4) NEVER EVER EVER MAKES A GOOD WEEKLY/MONTHLY SCHEDULE. Honestly, outside of People Management and maybe tactical efficiency the Assistant Manager is possibly the most useless member of your staff as he will actively go against everything you want to achieve.
I disagree with you regarding the individual training for the development of your players' attributes. If you observe what you put (Aerial Defense, Ground Defense, Chance Conversion, Chance Creation and Goalkeeping,), they have priority to increase only 20% in the field of defense/goalkeeper, attack/goalkeeper, attack/defense(Goalkeeping). =Maximum you will get only 40% of each option separately, with only 2 combinations (defense and goalkeeper, attack and goalkeeper, attack and defence).
If you want to have excellent development in the individual training of your players to get 100% (with all 3 combinations attack-defense-goalkeeper TOGETHER), these only make three "options" that you have to put in training. 1) Attaking Movement that give you 60% priority in attack - 20% in defense - 20% in goalkeeper (= 100% total), 2) Defensive Shape that gives you 60% priority in defense - 20% in attack - 20% in goalkeeper (= total 100%) and 3) Match Practise that gives you 100% priority in everything. I noticed that you only use it in the pre-season. It is foolish not to use it at least once a week when you have only 1 match (not only pre season) . It is very good because it improves the individual attributes of your players to the maximum. Besides, match practise is actually used by the teams irl. So replacing these 3 that I mentioned above with yours you will see a huge difference in the development of the attributes of your players in the individual training. I hope you understand what i am saying. You are great, thank you.
Hi, and thanks! I completely understand, but I don't agree 🙂I think I mentioned this in a previous video: the more elements "Impact" a session, the more the impact is divided between those elements. The priority just indicates how much focus each UNIT gets. So a 100% priority just means that there is no unit separation for that session. All players will get the same focus compared to each other, if that makes sense? BUT for each player, that 100% gets divided among all the things that the session impacts. To continue your example: yes, "Aerial Defence" only gives 20% priority to Attacking and GK unit players, but that WHOLE 20% goes to "Attributes: individual roles". Compare that with "Defensive Shape" for example: also 20% priority for the Attacking and GK unit...but a LOT more things being impacted, so impact is divided between "upcoming match", "tactical familiarity", "individual roles"... And that's the exact reason why I personally prefer the sessions that only have "individual roles" impacted, IF my goal is to focus on that individual training. Concerning "Match Practice": I literally say in the video that I don't JUST use it in pre-season, but I use it a LOT in pre-season. But same story again though: that session impacts a LOT of things, so the impact is divided. So I don't agree with you saying "It is very good because it improves the individual attributes of your players to the maximum". Yes, I absolutely love the "Match Practice" session and it has "an impact" on individual roles, but it's definately not my session of choice IF I want to focus on individual training, because it impacts a bunch of other things as well. Hope this explanation makes sense? Let me know! Thanks again! 🙂
@@Leyodemus What do you mean when you say WHOLE 20% goes to the Attributes, when the 3 I mentioned give you 100% at all to Atributes = ''Individual Roles''. I agree that many more things are affected, but you do not care when we talk about player development. After all, the purpose of training (beyond pre season, fitness, cohesion and how quickly the players will learn your tactics) is to develop the attributes of your players. So your goal is to give them the right training that will maximize their attributes. Of course, the training facilities, your staff and the mentoring will play a big role in this, but the combination of all of them together with the training will give you great results. I did not say that your proposals are wrong, but your players will not develop much. Try what I told you and you will see a huge difference. Thanks 😉
I have personally never played the Xbox version, but I THINK you will have less options there as far as training goes? Someone told me that it's similar to FM Touch, but again: not sure. Hope someone else will be able to provide some clarity here! 🙏

Hi Joachim! Hmmm, it should be possible after every gameday, but I THINK I have read somewhere that this was still a bug. I'm not sure though, but if you simply can't choose the Match Review session in the schedule, there's not much you can do I think. Hopefully it will get solved soon!
where can i find the delivery - team training button in the game?
Great Vid
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!👌
On individual training, if a player becomes unhappy about their individual training that they have been assigned to even though they need it how would you deal with them
Hi Kenny! Check out my previous video on individual training, especially the "Follow up" chapter. A link is down in this video's description. In short: I check if he has a reason to complain, by checking the attributes being worked on and other data. If I see he doesn't really have a reason, I just ask myself if I'm bothered that he'll stay unhappy with that. Most of the time, that answer is no 🙂 Hope that helps!
I use team focus general training; I don't use any unit focus (hence no individual role training) training. I do so because I don't assign individual roles to my players ( I use additional focus however). Am I doing it wrong? Thank you for your videos :)
Hi Gokhan! Additional Focus, weak foot training and player trait training are extra training workload items and will always be executed, even if you don't assign those individual roles. So the way you do it, is a perfectly valid option! 🙂
@@Leyodemus Thank you :)
@@gokhanj.yenigun7933 No problemo!
Hey, great video. Very informative. One thing I don't quite understand: How does it work with the fitness of the players? My problem is that my players are always fatigued and have low condition. Does it make sense to use physical training while season? Is the attribute stamina then boosted for the week? I myself use a very hard preseason schedule. However, it worked better when the assistant made the schedule. I have been playing counterpress in the CL for 3 seasons.
For the comparison, please use a team without the top training and coaches. It's so meh seeing tests done with Liverpool because they are basically FM easy mode. Besides if training manually shows better results at a mid level side it'll clearly fly at Liverpool and City, but the reverse may not be so likely.
Good shout David, noted! 👌
Is there any reason to use rest instead of recovery?
Good question Ozzy! The main difference imo is: from a player's point of view, Recovery is an actual "active" training session and Rest is not. So if you fill up every possible Rest session with a Recovery session: in theory this is maybe better as far as the impacts go, but the players may start to complain like "boss, you're keeping us in here ALL WEEK?". Hope that explanation makes sense? I've never really tested it myself though, so feel free to try it and let me know! 🙂
@@Leyodemus makes sense mate thanks alot!
@@rippermcmakin no worries man!
Great video.
What do you do when you use multiples totally differents tactics in your season...for example, i use a 3-1-3-1-2 when i play away and a 4-1-5 at home, with differents roles for the same players...it seems to be very hard !
Thanks to answers, if not, you do a great job...
Sorry for my english, i'm from France ...🤫🤫🤔😆
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated! And no worries, your English is just fine 🙂 Well, the fact is that it is hard for players in FM to learn or at least "get familiar" with multiple positions/roles/duties at the same time... So if I use multiple tactics myself, I try to keep them as "similar" as possible, if you know what I mean.
If you don't do this, it's a challenge for sure, but we all love a challenge right? I would advice to put a lot of tact.familiarity sessions in your training schedules, and switch that "primary trained tactic" every week or month. That should help, I hope. Good luck!
Thanks for the answer !
@@LoRdJack No worries man!
@@Leyodemus So after 2 weeks of playing, i focus on the versality of a player in particular...:
Fatawu is now at 19 in MC,MOC,BTC and MOG position and 20 in MOD,MD and MG position, I training himself for one years in MOG (Winger role) but he never go to 20...
My conclusion is that a player can't not have more than three 20 in a position (19 is still a natural postion).
Love From France 🙂
@@LoRdJack I've never truly tested that to be honest, but could very well be true! 🙂Merci beaucoup Jack!
What about players who didn't took part of the game. Are you resting them the day after seating on the bench?
Hi Maor! It's a personal choice, but I tend to only rest the players who played the full game or at least 60/70 minutes.
Couple of questions:
1. What’s the best for semi pro league? There are just 2 available days and 2 slots per week
2. Training week sessions have big effect for the next match. When I used balanced schedule for a week I lost my game agains Man City. When I chose attacking schedule week , then I won Man City 0:6 away match. So how to choose right schedule before some of the matches?
Please do it using Blackburn Rovers
Thanks for the suggestion Allan! Noted! 🙂
Amazing video and amazing series. So logically set out. Would have taken a lot of prep. One query re pre season training - I use a lot more of the physical sessions (endurance, resistance etc) during the week with recovery straight afterwards. I saw you are only using a couple of these. Any thoughts as to the right approach? I just thought you would hold off fatigue later in the season by concentrating on these early on.
Hi!! These videos do take a lot of work indeed, so thanks for the kind words! Yeah to be honest, I tend to go "easy" on them, I think 🙂But there really is no "right" or "wrong" approach though, because it also depends on different things that will make you want to change focus in pre season or even regular season. A lot of new players coming in? A new tactic? A lot of games and maybe injuries? All those things influence the way I tend to tweak these schedules. That being said, I think it's really okay to go somewhat harder on them in pre season, by using more physical sessions. Hope that makes sense and helps? Let me know! Thanks again!
My matches are on sunday.. I can’t do a match review how can i fix that?
Hi DJ! In theory you should be able to put a match review in after EVERY game, but I have read before that it's still a bug in the game... So hopefully they will fix it soon, because it doesn't make sense that you can't do it after Sunday games of course 🙂
hey thanks for the video! i have several assistant coaches and 2 of them i bought only for training (good attributes). however, i can not assign them to take over training (they dont exist in dropdown to select). i can only always assign the same single assistant coach as it was at save start.... anyone knows what i am missing???
no training download???
Do you also rest youre starting eleven after a match for 1 or 2 days . Great video
Good shout! Yes I absolutely do that, but not always. So only when I see that a lot of games are coming up, and I want to make sure that my players don't get exhausted.
Hello, can I use these training sessions in FM20?
Hi Leo! Maybe some of the sessions I use are not yet available in FM20, but you can certainly use the idea and the goals behind it all yes! Good luck!
@@Leyodemus thank you😄
@@airoxx_24 no problemo! ;-)
@@Leyodemus With what tactic do I have to use this training?
@@airoxx_24 doesn't matter at all, so with any tactic you like! 👌My sessions are never based on a tactical style. If you want to try that, check out those templates the game gives you when you start creating a new schedule. There should be templates there for every style, so you can see which sessions the game "links" to each style. Hope this helps, let me know! 👌
What do I do when players are unhappy with training especially individual training???
Hi! Well, it mainly depends on WHY they are unhappy. Have a look at my video on individual training, link is in this video's description. Hope that helps, let me know! 🤞
Awesome video.. I did watch the videos from RDF years ago on training. Many things have changes since I didn't play these times.
What about training schedules for lower-league teams?
As far as I could experience, semi-professional teams cannot use the full calender there to put in different training sessions. Do you have any recommendations for that sort of lower league training?
Hi Ismail, and thanks! Yes, you are completely correct: semi professional teams only have a couple of days available. There is no real answer to this question, because it will depend on the different needs of your team in different times in the season. Feel free to hop into one of the livestreams on my own channel. I am managing a team in tier 8 in England, so I can show you how I do it. 🙂
@@Leyodemus hey thanks for the answer.. Yeah I will definitely check them out. Have you done the training in streams before? Each video is almost more than 2h 😅😅 if you should feature this in the upcoming stream, I'll wait for it 👍👍
@@isocan666 whahahaha, yeah I leave the whole stream on there as a video, sorry 🙂Just jump into chat during one of the next streams, and I'll show you!
@@Leyodemus I will. Thanks again!
I was wondering if a team can change from semi professionelle to professionelle ?
They'd have to change to professional once they start climbing the pyramid. In similar fashion, contracts should switch from part-time to full-time.

@@fmscout Thanks, mate
I can;t find MATCH REVIEW .Where is it?
Does this apply to the mobile version too
Hi Ibrahim! To be honest, I have literally never played the mobile version, but if I would have to guess, I would think you have way less options in the mobile version... but again, I don't really know. Hope someone else can answer this question for you! 🙏
All the players of my squad is increasing injury risk, how can I do to decrease injury risk?
Hi! If your players are playing a lot of matches, this will always be higher and the only way to decrease it is to actually rest them. Other than that, I would make sure to use a lot of recovery sessions in your team training schedules, because those greatly reduce injury risk! Also check your Medical Centre and Training > Rest screens to maybe find some physio recommendations. Hope this helps, let me know!
@@Leyodemus it was perfect, I tried following your reply, thanks a lot!
@@hamituuu9298 niiiceee! Good job!
Do you do your youth training? If so do we just care about individual development?
Hi Nate! Rarely I do, because I have the tendency to move my highest potential players over to my first team to give them some playing time asap. Just a personal choice though. IF you however decide to do it, I would go big and do team training as well to avoid injuries and all, because the AI doesn't care too much about that when creating those training schedules 🙂
Where is link to download this training?
Hi! As I mention in the video: no download links from me, because I want to encourage you to do it yourself 🙂If you want to download some, I bet there are lots to be found online though. Good luck!
@@Leyodemus okayyyy. Thank you for give this guide👍😁
@@princecatz13 No worries man, good luck!
👍👍
I have tried to use the "Periodization" theory on this, but I've stopped doing it since I heard and saw a video where it states that it doesn't matter what kind of training session you use, all of them work in the same way.
Meaning: since we're developing player attributes and not systems, using (e.g.) a "Defending" training session doesn't really means the team is getting "better" at defending.
So, in other words: Try to use all the sessions indiscriminately as soon as you can, so you're players can develop as much as their attributes they can, and they can perform, in average, whichever role you want them to play.
Not sure if I 100% understand what you are saying, but I will only use team training for the 5 goals I mention in the video. And you say "we are not developing systems", but it's important to get your players FAMILIAR with those systems, right? That's the exact reason tactical familiarity is one of my 5 goals. Every player has a PA and my goal is to get them to that PA as soon as possible, but also in the "direction" (so position/role/duty-related attributes) that I want, and that's where individual training comes in, not team training. Hope that makes sense? Let me know!
Hey mate, great video.
Question: is it me or does your assistant ALWAYS give you bad advice in terms of training? Like, even the best assistant never seems to be on the same page as me when training and developing players. Even when I take over all training Im constantly being told that:
1) not to individually train attributes for a player because they "arent a weakness"
2) ALWAYS train weak foot even if their weak foot isnt that weak anymore
3) never believes the traits I want a player to train will work
4) NEVER EVER EVER MAKES A GOOD WEEKLY/MONTHLY SCHEDULE.
Honestly, outside of People Management and maybe tactical efficiency the Assistant Manager is possibly the most useless member of your staff as he will actively go against everything you want to achieve.
I disagree with you regarding the individual training for the development of your players' attributes. If you observe what you put (Aerial Defense, Ground Defense, Chance Conversion, Chance Creation and Goalkeeping,), they have priority to increase only 20% in the field of defense/goalkeeper, attack/goalkeeper, attack/defense(Goalkeeping).
=Maximum you will get only 40% of each option separately, with only 2 combinations (defense and goalkeeper, attack and goalkeeper, attack and defence).
If you want to have excellent development in the individual training of your players to get 100% (with all 3 combinations attack-defense-goalkeeper TOGETHER), these only make three "options" that you have to put in training. 1) Attaking Movement that give you 60% priority in attack - 20% in defense - 20% in goalkeeper (= 100% total), 2) Defensive Shape that gives you 60% priority in defense - 20% in attack - 20% in goalkeeper (= total 100%) and 3) Match Practise that gives you 100% priority in everything. I noticed that you only use it in the pre-season. It is foolish not to use it at least once a week when you have only 1 match (not only pre season) . It is very good because it improves the individual attributes of your players to the maximum. Besides, match practise is actually used by the teams irl.
So replacing these 3 that I mentioned above with yours you will see a huge difference in the development of the attributes of your players in the individual training. I hope you understand what i am saying. You are great, thank you.
Hi, and thanks! I completely understand, but I don't agree 🙂I think I mentioned this in a previous video: the more elements "Impact" a session, the more the impact is divided between those elements. The priority just indicates how much focus each UNIT gets. So a 100% priority just means that there is no unit separation for that session. All players will get the same focus compared to each other, if that makes sense? BUT for each player, that 100% gets divided among all the things that the session impacts.
To continue your example: yes, "Aerial Defence" only gives 20% priority to Attacking and GK unit players, but that WHOLE 20% goes to "Attributes: individual roles". Compare that with "Defensive Shape" for example: also 20% priority for the Attacking and GK unit...but a LOT more things being impacted, so impact is divided between "upcoming match", "tactical familiarity", "individual roles"... And that's the exact reason why I personally prefer the sessions that only have "individual roles" impacted, IF my goal is to focus on that individual training.
Concerning "Match Practice": I literally say in the video that I don't JUST use it in pre-season, but I use it a LOT in pre-season. But same story again though: that session impacts a LOT of things, so the impact is divided. So I don't agree with you saying "It is very good because it improves the individual attributes of your players to the maximum". Yes, I absolutely love the "Match Practice" session and it has "an impact" on individual roles, but it's definately not my session of choice IF I want to focus on individual training, because it impacts a bunch of other things as well.
Hope this explanation makes sense? Let me know! Thanks again! 🙂
@@Leyodemus What do you mean when you say WHOLE 20% goes to the Attributes, when the 3 I mentioned give you 100% at all to Atributes = ''Individual Roles''.
I agree that many more things are affected, but you do not care when we talk about player development. After all, the purpose of training (beyond pre season, fitness, cohesion and how quickly the players will learn your tactics) is to develop the attributes of your players. So your goal is to give them the right training that will maximize their attributes. Of course, the training facilities, your staff and the mentoring will play a big role in this, but the combination of all of them together with the training will give you great results. I did not say that your proposals are wrong, but your players will not develop much. Try what I told you and you will see a huge difference. Thanks 😉
@@kouvaras13 OK man, I'll give it a go! Thanks for the suggestion! 👌
Does this apply to Xbox
I have personally never played the Xbox version, but I THINK you will have less options there as far as training goes? Someone told me that it's similar to FM Touch, but again: not sure. Hope someone else will be able to provide some clarity here! 🙏
