Coaching style.

So some coaches have an area in which they specialise.

We have coaches who's style is ATTACKING, DEFENDING, FITNESS, GOALKEEPERS and also we have GENERAL style coaches.

Now I have recently found out, (yes I am a little slow on the up-take it seems), that attacking coaches offer you a greater insight into the psyche of players that play in attacking positions and also that defensive coaches do the same to defenders and goalkeeping coaches to keepers.

What I am not sure about is whether there are benefits to signing GENERAl coaches or even fitness coaches.

I seem to be getting mixed results with GENERAL coaches and I don;t even have a fitness coach yet so let's not even go there.

Could anyone shed some light on this for me please.

Cheers in advance.

Fitness seem to show full information for all players while general shows limited information for all players.

I should probably add fitness coaches are limited to coaching strength & aerobic.

Thats all a fitness coach does

Would you mind explaining that a little please.

You seem to suggest in the first line that he can tell you everything, (full information), but then ad that Fitness coaches are restricted to giving you info on fitness, (which is what I expected).

I still can't work out what sort of benefit there is to a coach with a general style.:confused:

An attacking coach can give you an insight into a player in an attacking position, (and likewise a defender). Does that suggest that a General coach specialises in midfield?:confused:

Np

Fitness coaches seem to give full information (Same as attacking coaches for forwards or defending coaches for defenders) but are restricted to teaching strength or aerobic (which you already know).

General coaches seem to give limited information for all positions but there doesn't seem to be any real additional benefit to them.

Hmmm interesting I have rarely been in the position to have a wealth of choice of coaching staff however, I do find when you have more staff than you did have before-hand. You are much more able to see the results in training, and in-watched games, the formation and playstiyle that your trying to acheive seems to click more with the players that's what I spot in the game sometimes.

But.................... Is there; more to it?

To the more learnered FM gamer may be able to help and point out the other 'Real' benifits to having say 7 coaches over say 3. There are other factors, is better to have a Fitness couach & a Attacking coach & a Defen.... etc, etc.

Can these coaches help in others such as in making sure that X player can play betters as coach Z is teaching them. For national, as in same-nation reasons, and for you as in scouting knowledge. Just my thoughts, is it really deeper than the stats - figures that we see?
