A question about PPMs...

[louiscfc]

Ok so whenever I go to start a player on a PPM the coach always says that he doesn't think he can do this.
For example I just tried setting my 25 year old striker to 'place shots' and the coach says he won't be able to do it! What effects this? Is it his determination or adaptability?

I think it has to do with different stats for different PPMs also.

For example places shots needs good shooting and composure, but tries killer ball often needs good passing and decision etc.

My striker has good finishing, composure and technique yet my coach says placing shots wont be a success. He's not even old. Or is it my coach thats poor?

If your coach says 'he doesn't think he will be able to do it', just reply with 'I'd like you to give it a try anyway'. Your coach always starts the training.

Those 3 attributes would be the ones I'd pick as well when considering giving that PPM to a player. Try asking a different coach? Your coaches aren't perfect, so get a 2nd opinion, in my own opinion.

Hopefully that works. I've had success getting players to learn PPMs even after the coach disagreed. I'd guess that having the right attributes for a PPM would help the process.
