i believe there's a big difference. in FM19 i noticed it much more, and so far, i can see the difference here too. i've put a few bullet points for things i do, its not a rule but just my take on fm
- firstly, best thing for young players to develop is game time. if he's not likely to get much game time at your club, look to loan him to a club that'll start him regular and has good training facilities
- my training schedules heavily focus on match prep. and also on my teams weakness. to check this you can go to the team comparison page and see where your team is weak compared to the league. or you can listen to your assistants report on where he thinks your weakness is
- have a look at your training units as well. this FM, i decided to put all my CMs in the defensive unit, this is because of they way my tactics are set up. i use gegenpress so i don't want my midfielders doing attacking work, they need to be good defensively to win the ball back
i will post screenshots a bit later of my current save schedule
