Handbook: Training

Quick summary

Training does not apply instantly. It is processed in training runs (2× per week).

Players only receive normal training effects if they have at least 100 minutes in league matches (since the last run).

On days without a planned session and on Sundays, your whole squad gets +2 morale and +2 freshness per day (each capped at 99).

From training ground level 4 onward, you can enable individual training for exactly one player (extra boosts, independent of minutes).

Requirements & training ground

To save sessions and have them processed, you need a training ground (at least level 1).

Higher levels unlock more focuses and extras.

Overview by level:

Which training focuses exist?

Available focuses depend on your training ground. Typical focuses include:

• Offensive

• Defense

• Mental (at higher levels)

• Technique (at higher levels)

• Goalkeeping (only affects goalkeepers)

What a focus trains in detail:

Planning rules (important)

• Sundays are locked (rest day).

• Past days and today are locked—you can only edit future days.

• You can intentionally leave days empty (no focus)—then nothing is trained on that day, but your squad gets +2 morale and +2 freshness.

• Save after changes so your plan applies to the next training run.

Individual training (from training ground level 4)

Individual training is an additional boost for exactly one selected player in the sessions tab.

It applies even if the player did not reach 100 minutes—useful for players with low match time.

It boosts role-appropriate skills and also improves physical aspects.

Charity Drill

You can schedule Charity Drill multiple times within the same training run.

Each Charity Drill session grants fixed money based on league level (see table).

Important: Charity Drill has no training effects at all (no skill boosts, no level-ups, no training events).

If multiple Charity Drill sessions are processed in one run, their income is merged into one finance transaction. The transaction description includes the number of Charity Drills.

Training runs: 2× per week

There are two training runs per week: Thursday and Sunday.

Each run processes the last 3 days:

• Thursday run: processes Mon–Wed

• Sunday run: processes Thu–Sat

Sunday is always a rest day: no training, but +2 morale and +2 freshness for the squad.

Minimum minutes & reset

Normal training applies only to players with at least 100 league minutes.

Important: those minutes are reset after every training run. That means you need to earn them again before the next run.

Individual training is independent of this.

Youth mentors: how the bonus is calculated

The youth mentor bonus depends only on position match and the mentor's experience.

Mentor strength/level does not matter for this bonus.

Perfect position matches are: same position, or LV↔RV, LM↔RM, LA↔RA.

Age: why do older players improve less?

Normal training is aimed at younger players. From around age 32, normal training effects are effectively close to zero.

If you want to push an older player, individual training is the more reliable option.

Random events

A random event can occur per training run. Candidates are players with at least 100 league minutes.

If the event succeeds, you can choose an extra drill in the report (a skill boost for that player).

What happens in the background during a training run?

At the end of each training run, the game automatically does roughly the following in the background:

• Loads the last 3 training days per club and processes the chosen focuses.

• Applies skill changes (including potential level-up and best-position recalculation).

• On Sundays and on days without a planned session, grants a flat +2 morale and +2 freshness to all players of the club.

• Writes report entries and marks those days as completed.

• May generate a random event and store it in the report.

• Sends a Newscenter notification when new reports are available.

• Resets the league-minute counter afterwards (so the next run starts from zero).

Where do boosts come from?

Reports can contain different sources:

• Normal training (from your planned focus days)

• Individual training (if enabled)

• Random event boost (if an event succeeded and you picked an extra drill)

• Youth training (separately, if you have a youth center)

Level-ups & position updates

If a player gains enough skills, their level can increase.

This can also trigger a recalculation of their best position (top position).

Status (planned / waiting / done)

• Planned: in the future, waiting for the next run.

• Waiting: in the past, but not processed yet (will be handled in the next run).

• Done: processed in the last run.
