Pre Season Training

[CraigF92]

Hi i don't post on here much so sorry if this isn't the correct area of the forum.

I really struggle to get my tactics fluid during pre season.

Ive tried it all and usually try fitness for 2 weeks and team cohesion for the rest of it but the bar never really seems to fill up and i just get frustrated and quit the save because my team ain't fluid in the tactic(s).

How can i sort this? Best pre season advice? I only tend to buy 1 player at most first season.

What I normally do is if your pre-season last for 5 weeks:
1st week: Fitness - High with match prep set to teamwork
2nd week: Tactics with match prep set to team work
3rd week: Tactics- high match prep- team work
4th week: tactics- high match prep - tactics
5th week: tactics - average match prep - tactics

Cheers mate will give that a try

Best pre-season advice... 1st week fitness if mostly the same team as last season, teamwork if you have a lot of new signings

Rest of the weeks, arrange 2 friendlies per week + high tactical training

This post will help. The main point is "When you've set up the friendlies check on the training calendar to make sure you have a training day before each game. If not cancel the game because its pointless.When you've set up the friendlies check on the training calendar to make sure you have a training day before each game.

So yeah, make sure you have 3 days inbetween each friendly.

i like to play a friendly every 4/5 days, and set the training on tactics and high for the entire preseason. Ive played probably hundreds of seasons of FM and have never once done the fitness during preseason thing.

dont forget there is not a single correct way to play this game, thats the beauty of it.
