offleyhornet Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hello fellow FM users. I am a Watford fan and I am gutted about the current financial situation so I have started a new save as Watford to make myself feel better! Anyway, I have always always wondered just what makes a good assistant manager, coach and youth coach. This may sound like a silly question but I am just curious to see if I have been getting it wrong all these years on FM. Cheers lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Assistant: Motivation, Man Management, Tactical Knowledge and JCA/JPA are essential imo, while others are a bonus. Coaches: It depends on what you want them for, ie. what they're there to train. Taking a look here might help. As for youth coaches, Working With Youngsters is an obvious requirement. Oh, and Watford fan. I've just started another game with them out of my growing desire to save them. As a Watford fan I'd recommend sacking Dyche and bringing in Nigel Gibbs as your assistant!

offleyhornet Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 In answer to that spoiler, is he really quite good then? His tactical knowledge on my game is 8 :/ As far as youth coaches go though, what else is important apart from working with youngsters, attacking, and defending? Thanks for your reply by the way mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likesiamesefish Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 i like to bring in coaches who have the club in their favoured personnel or good looking stats. i pretty much will always sign a coach who is rec'd in my backroom advice now as well.

Hershie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 He's good, providing you're in charge and not him. In terms of taking control of the team or offering advice he's not great but he's good in other areas, and cheap. Youth coaches I'm not 100% sure about tbvh. Ideally you'd have coaches that can specialise in each area for both the first and youth team, but if you're restricted in numbers I'd just go for the coaches with the best all-round stats. Technique training can be important too, as well as all the stats that may determine how well they do their job (eg. Determination). As I said, T&T will provide better answers than I can.

rinso Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If you're purely interested in getting the maximum "star" rating for each category, then theres a tool (in this thread ) that you can download, where, if you input the coaches attributes, it will give you their star ratings in each category...

MrPompey Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think the manual with FM09 gave the details / attributes best for a certain role, coaching related really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
