FM 2014 General Training

[c0mrade]

Hello I've been playing FM like most of you for a really long time now. And I have a question since I've not played this 2014 version that much.

My question is related to senior/youth team training. Whenever I leave it to the assistant, he puts the workload to i.e tactics or team cohesion or something else but sets it to low. ANd the bottom screen of the overall training workload is very low.

Is this a good thing for my team? Is it going to bring out the best of the players? When I set the senior/youth training I usually put it to high during the regular season. And change it every few games from one type i.e fitness to another type i.e ball control.

So what is the best option and how to get the best out of your players?

I've played about 7 season now with Real Sociedad, have won only one Europa League so far. I don't do save and load on a big matches that's why perhaps, its more realistic that way.

So I made a mistake and I bought too many players and now I'm constantly loosing so I started a new game with Southampton. So far so good, 5 games, 2 wins(against web brom and hull), 2 draws (agains man city and livpool) and 1 loss (against chelsea).

So please give me some advice from your experience.

thanks

I think assistant does a job properly. They don't train only general training, they train individual as well as play matches. He balances their workload so that they are happy with training. Every players training is different and I usually assign assistant to take care of it, or otherwise I would have to increase and decrease workload for a bunch of players all the time to keep them happy. I even found out director of football does a better job than me at buying players. For example I have setup a 4231 tactic, with a target man, but with counter strategy. As it is obviously an error, as target man should only be used with more attacking strategies, my DOF bought a poacher, which shoudl really be my striker.
