I've been training younsters in new positions since they "born" in my club, but i've noticed that when i stop training him they lose the ability in the position.

Appart that this don't make any sense (if they lose in the new ones, why don't they lose in the ones that came with the game if they are not played there?) is there any point in training that they don't decrease their ability?

Thanks

If left back is their " natural" position, the will not lose their appetite, determination and skill to play their. Why? because, they were brought up playing that position etc.

In retrospects to retraining positions, if you are trying to train that " natural" left back to play left wing, he will have to get used to playing that position, adapt to it etc. If he then stops being trained in that position, he forgets how to play their.

A player will generally retain repositional training and increase skill in that position if they are also playing matches in that position.

Consider taking charge of the youth/reserve team, as your asst. manager will only play that player in their strongest position.

i have many players going from 1 to 18 in a position ability (with training and matches), but once i take them the training, they decline even faster than they climb up.

My question is if there is any way that they don't decrease the new position ability if i take them the training.

not all players are condusive to being retrained

there is a stat which dictates how liely a player is to be flexible to re-position training

I forget which, im in the office so i have no idea, but it pops up on the help tips sometimes

i personally advise against retraining players into new positions - loan them to sell them and buy players that suit your tactical outlook

its the adaptability stat isnt it?

retired_rimple24

i'm sure it isn't. Adaptability refers to the capacity to adapt to new countries when transfered.

Maybe it's versatility.


...but my question keeps unanswered.

at least we are trying to help you bud :thup:

I just googled it and its versatility, so a low setting will mean it will take a while to retrain him, if you manage at all - this should help you

Versatile players who play a position and train it for a number of years may keep it, but in my experience this is very few, very young, very versatile players.

I never re-train to more than one position any more - I just keep them trained on the "new" position and keep it at that.

I agree with NTFC's assessment of the training model in the first reply, if not his use of "retrospect" and "their".
