Burscoughnian Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 What's the point of this? Are they ever allowed to play for you? You can't even force them to train youth players or make them try a new position. Is it to whet their appetite and make them fall in love with your club (in 4 weeks)? WhaAat?

It's so that you can play them in friendlies and see all their stats to make a decision as to whether to offer them a contract. IRL the football leagues don't allow trial players to play (I don't know about the lower divisions in the Conference), so it's a reflection of real life. I always take trial players where possible to see if they perform well in friendlies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You can play them in friendlies. The point is so you can see how they play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauvner Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 IRL a trial is a invitation to come and train at a club for anywhere upto a month, in that time the manager and coaching staff can asses if the player is worthing tying to a contract. Look at the Ex Newcastle defender with Birmingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackant Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You can sign them up to, I think, some time in November, and then again from 1st Jan to sometime in March. If for any reason I take on a bunch of trialists, I stick them in the reserves and arrange a friendly reserve tour/match. The ass man tends to play them automatically. You can either take charge yourself or watch the match as your ass man tends to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexNFFC Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It's a good idea to take a player on trial, as you can see their stats and give them a few friendly/reserve games to see how they get on. However, if you have a player, say, on a 4 week trial, you may regret not signing them up straightaway when another club signs them up from under your nose....very annoying!
