tyro Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Maybe I am late to the party, as I just let my assistant do the Trainings previously and just added some match preps here or there. This year I am trying to design my own trainings. What I am not certain about is the ratio beaten general training (the schedules and the individual training). In previous version there was a percentage depending on the intensity basically and if you had match preparation. I saw that some trainings allow for players to work on their role training. Do you need to set up these specific units in order for them to train the role/individually or will they use the "rest" units to work on it? In a way it makes sense that you have to schedule for individual training but on the other hand if you don't fill out the whole calendar with general training, there is time for the players to work on their own stuff.

Rashidi Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 I am not sure what you mean by "using the rest" units. The rest units are simply "rest" sessions where players do no training. If you want a player to develop in a specific way you can choose to assign him a specific role which also gets worked on during the course of the week. If you give him a special focus to improve aspects of his play, that is extra training that goes above and beyond his normal training and increases the intensity of his training. Training hasn't changed very much between FM19-FM21 apart from how the mentoring UI has changed. At least thats my understanding. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyro Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Ok, thank you. So basically, the general training schedule is separate from a player's role and specific focus training. With the "rest" units I meant that if you have only 2 of the 3 sessions a day, 1 session is set for "rest" in the training calendar. Since I saw some training units specifically mentioning role training, I was not sure if I had to put those in for the players to train their roles.

Their Personalities will rub off on players naturally, but you can also target them a bit more specifically with Mentoring. There's no rule like "Personality A mentored by Personality B = Personality C", but you should be able to see positive shifts, especially in younger players. You have to Mentor them before they get too influential though. Welcoming periods also serve as mini-Mentoring sessions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have definitely changed in FM21 though. Whereas before all of the hidden attributes and determination were affected at once each time a player was influenced by the squad personality or mentoring group, in FM21 it seems that only some of those attributes are affected each time, so it will be much harder to game the system to create squads full of model citizens like last year. You'll still get improvements in personality, it will just be more random and difficult to predict. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, you need to have a training card allowing players to train the individual roles for them to do so, otherwise they will not do it. If you have "rest" sessions the players will not do their individual training during those sessions. So, if you want to do specific role training, you need to check the training cards and select those that allow for individual training. This was not clear to me but now is and makes sense since those cards are available. I just didn't know if you basically didn't know what to do with the other training units and so they were training individual roles in certain sessions.

longruoi1 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Mentoring has a big change in FM2021. Now the most influential player in a group will also teach his playing positions to others. For example a Striker will mentor a young Winger into a natural Striker if given enough time together. This change is good in some cases, and is bad in some others. We just need to take it into consideration when building mentoring groups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerC Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Ok so I have a pair of model citizen players in my squad (GK & CB), I want them to mentor some U18s and other youngsters in the squad. AFAIK players under 18 should be training with the U18 to take profit of the U18 coaches but then I cannot add them to mentoring groups cause they have to train with the first team for that. And once they're over 18 they need playing time which generally means loan out which then unables the mentoring... So what is the ideal thing? Let them stay for a year playing for U23 while they're mentored and loan them out next year (19 years old)? or let them develop and them mentor them at age 21-23? Also how effective (or not) is a GK or CB mentoring players who play in other positions? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shib0 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Do players need to be in same training units to be mentored? I saw some people saying yes, others saying no. Can a defender mentor strikers if he's influential enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, in my FM19 Ajax save: Daley Blind mentored pretty much every big deal from MC backwards: de Ligt, de Jong, van de Beek etc. and and the latter was training as an AMC (became natural) so whilst I didn't pay attention they definitely were in different units. van de Beek's personally actually became worse though. Hakim Ziyech (Attacking) mentored Noussair Mazraoui (Defending) - I paired them as they favoured each other, had the same nationality, and played together on the right wing. It was successful, raising Mazraoui's Determination by 4 points over 2 years. Like anything with the modern mentoring system there are no guarantees.

Siven Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 What is the best and laziest way to setup training schedules so that matches moved for TV stop messing up my schedules im trying to create? I like to set each players position in training for the attributes, and I've watched some vods and think i have ok schedules now. I have made sure to have a rest session before and after games (recovery after too) so theres room for a travel spot. Is there anything else i should do for th easiest and laziest schedules other than let assistant do it (which im trying not to do this year). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNZ-8 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 @Rashidi Thanks a lot for putting all of this together. I have a question (and sorry if it is already addressed somewhere but I haven't found it). It's about individual training. What I often get is that a player complains that a particular individual training is not bringing results. When this happen I usually go and check the progress for that players. If I see that he's making progress on the trained attribute, then I ignore his complains, if I see that there is no progress I tend to change. In any case I never know if I should stick to the individual training chosen or I should listen to the player. In both cases I don't know what the impact in the long term will be. I hate having to abandon an individual training that I think is important for the development of the player, but it seems that sometimes it just doesn't work and you have to accept that fact that you cannot improve that particular attribute for the player, no matter who important you think it is. The question is: how to you behave in these cases? What's the long term effect of keeping on training an attribute for a player who doesn't feel that that's working? Thanks!

Rashidi Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I normally ignore what they say unless they are complaining about the quality of coaching, in which case i add a coach or hire another better coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saihtam Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Could someone give insight is it better to mentor even when losing for example determination for several points? Having youngster with 16-18 det, is beneficial to make mentor group for them if there is bigger drop in determination as this seems to be having the biggest effect when players with different determination are put together. How much could other mental atrb rise to be benefit losing determination. Here for example: Spoiler Here we have even bigger determination difference fo so young fellow. Maybe not the best example as Toure has WR 4.. but this would be the idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEO-BAHAMUT- Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Excellent read. I have a question. This year im playing FMTouch 2021 on iOS. I have just started a new game and my manager rating is only half a star. I have managed to employ an assistant manager at 3.5 stars. Should I leave training to be managed by my assistant as im guessing he will be able to get the best out of my players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 As far as I'm aware there are two areas where staff are given a star rating. One is for their reputation (in which case this does not impact your own ability to choose the right schedule), and the other is proficiency in delivering training sessions (how 'good' your training sessions are). Therefore I don't think your assistant manager having a higher star rating makes a difference in terms of choosing which sessions to do when on a calendar.

Jervaj Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Do you move players between units a lot? Is it worth it? I always wonder. When you want a more generalist/versatile approach from the whole squad I find easier to create a schedule were I can set someone in a unit and they get everything I want covered by general training. But when I want some players to be more specialized I find like the only way to avoid them training things you don't want is moving the players that need to cover more areas back and forth between the units. But it feels like a chore. Not so much by the actual time it takes to change but for having to remember each week to adjust. Will this mess up mentoring? Also what about GK's? Should they mentor other GK's only? In a past save I actually created a single big mentoring roup where I put all the leaders with good personality and the young player given there was quite a few. That was I was hoping the mentor's persoanlities didnt get diluted as much given I stacked several of them, and specially given many youngster were good in some areas already by how I picked them. It felt like the effect of mentoring was lessened more by the social group the youngster belonged to (and not knowing the language yet) than the unit. But maybe it was because the mentors were one in each unit (GK, Defend and Attack). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Hood Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Question on training? If you set some of your players on individual training and the rest on playing position. 1. If you have a training session that focuses on individual roles, what do the guys set to playing position do. 2. And vice versa, training sessions that focus on all attributes and selected attributes, do players set on individual training still participate or not.

Tom14 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I'm guessing it's because their personalities are too far away from the mentors and they have nothing in common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgevolker Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi Guys, I would like to know how you handle the individual focus and the intensity level. Not sure if I do this right to get the best player development? Usually I use the individual focus to train specific attributes I found useful for a role. For example my Advanced Forward get's shooting. Intensity is normal, beside young player with less playing time, here I choose high. Of course I also train the player traits I found useful for a role. Not sure if this is maybe too much, especially for younger players and will slow down the development? Any advice? What are you doing? Cheers Volker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Florian Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 On 08/11/2018 at 12:46, woolymuffler said: Apologies if this has been clearly laid out elsewhere but I'm still fuzzy on the individual training (specifically position/role/duty). I rarely have a clear "this is how I want to play" vision. I tend to look at the club, see what my players are capable of and design a tactic around that. What I'm unclear on with individual training: 1) I tend to vary my roles/duties based on who is available for a match; a versatile player could end up all over the pitch over the course of the season, or in the same position with different roles/duties. If a player is just left on "Playing Position", do the attributes they train change based on which role/duty they are using in matches? Or does "Playing Position" just do generic training for their "Natural" position(s)? Or generic training for the position they last played (without regard to role or duty they played)? 2) If I specify Position/Role/Duty training for a player, is that the position/role/duty they will "expect" to play (as in, it will reduce their performance level if I train them for a specific role/duty and don't actually play them there in match)? My understanding was that the role training before was basically just a way to focus training on specific attributes so I tended to train players in roles that built up their weaknesses even if I had no intention of playing them in that role. It would be more realistic of course if the role they trained in was what i was planning to do with them but just wondering how that worked now. Given that position retraining is now combined with role/duty, I get the feeling that I should only pick specific position/role/duty for a player if that is where I intend to play them but would love confirmation on that. This game is awesome, to the point of additive. Well done SI ! This is a good thread. Well done. But these two questions still perplex me. I didn’t see where anyone replied. any thoughts? cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
