How often do you change your training? not sure if you just used the same methods the whole season or chopped and changed throughout to meet the players needs?

does the same training scedules work whether your Arsenal (which i am) or say barnet

Thanks!

I take time at the start of the game to design training schedules for the different positions, but once this is done, I dont change them apart from slightly reducing strength and aerobic in the last third of the season. There is no reason that I can see that schedules should be differnt for good or bad teams but the quality of the coaches will have an impact of their effectiveness.

also when someone is injured make sure he does no training? i only just figured this out!

I personally make individual training regimes for all my players. It takes time when you first start but I find it easier for improving specific areas on a player.

That must be highly time consuming and rewarding!!
Do you see consistenst form in your players? Less injuries. I thought of adopting this, but the sheer amount of effort involved put me off.

I also give individual training schedules to my players, it's usefull for developing your youngsters.

It doesnt take that long to set up, all I do is create a few schedules for diffferent positions then use the edit schedules button to copy as many as different schedules as I need, then during preseason I customise them for each player.

i remember someone posting that reducing training workload during winter playing in the prem, can be a good thing, and it seems it is.

It doesn't really take that long as I still leave my youth players on youth training unless they are rated as a really good prospect.

I couldn't really say if this method was better or worse than general training regimes as I have only had one career as Liverpool.

What I found was the best thing about it was you can really be specific with individuals which makes it easier to train players for certain roles and track how players react to training levels. For instance similar types of players may need training in different areas.

Whats good for injuries is you can put players on lower physical settings if they get injured a lot. I did this for Gerrard and he didn't seem to get injured as much.

I agree about the number of training schedules in place, obviously you'll need to create new ones if you have some seriously talented players on your hands. However, it really boils down to what level of football your playing at, the ability of your squad, your preferred tactical instructions and so on. If you're a lower league side for example, where player attributes are typically nothing special (attributes are not everthing however), its ideal to have each of your playing positions using the same training schedule. Think about breaking existing schedules down and creating new ones when you're totally satisfied that the players in your squad require individual schedules depending upon their abilities.

Alternatively, try tweaking your existing training schedules after a trial-and-error approach through your own experience of FM2007. For example, I've adjusted my pre-season training for youth, part-time and full-time players and have noticed the reduction in costly pre-season injuries.

So, Seasoned Alcoholic, did you shy away from the heavy pre-season training concept? I remember looking over one of your posts and was thinking of adopting that style, but I'm concerned about the amount of injuries.
