Understanding Attribute Impact
- Fitness: Acceleration, agility, jumping, endurance, strength, and balance.
- Tactics: Decisions, marking, off the ball, positioning, and teamwork.
- Shooting: Finishing and long shots.
- Skill: Anticipation, heading, passing, technique, crossing, and tackling.
- Goalkeeping: Handling and reflexes.
Elite Training Schedule
For top-tier clubs, you can push the players harder. Use Intensive settings for the primary role (e.g., Tactics for Defenders, Shooting for Strikers) and keep Fitness at Medium to avoid excessive injuries.
Training for Small Teams
If you are managing a lower-league side, avoid multiple “Intensive” categories. Focus on Medium for Fitness and Skills to keep your small squad available for match days.
Pro Tip: Remove all players from training during the off-season. Re-assign them to their routines 1-2 weeks before the first pre-season friendly!
