Special Training (2)

za Heinz >> thursday november 12 - 08:26

Hi All, I know this was posted somewhere but too many topics to search again...LOL

I would just like to find out from the veteran players regarding Special Training:

Poacher: I was thinking for defender to poach from strikers but it seems better for strikers if anyone can give advice?

Versatile: Best suited to which players if ability is that important?

Long Shots: Is it a good and necessery attribute for strikers and even maybe midfielders?

Shielding: Is it better for defenders or strikers and is it really a good attribute?

Then besides Man Marker, Corner Stopper and Correct which other attributes is essential for defenders?

Besides Penalty Specialist, Correct and maybe Sharpshooter which other attributes is essential for strikers?

Besides Playmaker and Set Pieces Specialist which other attributes is essential for midfileders? It seems winger and dribbler doesn't really make a difference?

Will appreciate any input and advice as I love how this game works but need to learn more. Yes, my team is mediocre but I will rather learn as I'm trying to use just my youngsters till my stadium and youth center is up to scratch.

Cheers Heinz

First I would suggest you spend some time reading the descriptions of how each one works. For most of them you can usually work out for yourself which positions they suit the best. 

This should get you started.

Poacher

  • +0.25 ball scoring when player is in penalty area. 
  • good for strikers, especially when playing in the centre.
  • not much use for anyone else.

Versatile

  • Adds a secondary skill, depending on the position, at the cost of making the primary skill worse (by 0.15 ball).
  • Best used to give Passing to any defenders with lots of duelling, usually wing backs.
  • Some use it on midfielders, but in my view Long shots is a better choice as it doesn't nerf their Passing. 
  • Poor choice on strikers as it makes their Scoring worse.

Long shots

  • Gets a bonus at scoring from outside the penalty area. 
  • Good for strikers, especially when playing down the wings, which is where most of the top teams play their forwards. 
  • Can also use passing or dueling instead of scoring for these shots.
  • Useful for (advanced) midfielders and of some value to defenders that come forward. 

Shielding

  • Player gets a defensive bonus when another player tries to steal the ball from him.
  • Helps to avoid getting tackled, so most useful on strikers and midfielders.  
  • Also draws extra fouls and penalties.
