England Trialist I Vs England Trialist II

Have just seen in the fixture list during pre-season a match between England Trialist I and England Trialist II, this is the first time I have seen this, and I think is a nice addition to the game.

When I checked the squads of the two teams, it turned out to be players who had been released from their club contracts, now as I am managing Spurs, I didn't like the look of any of the players, but I can imagine if I was playing a LLM game, or even Championship game, this match would have been of interest to me.

Anyone else seen this, or had any joy getting some players from the two squads.

Big thumbs up to SI on this one.

I have seen this, it's a great addition IMO. Unfortunatly, I am Man Utd and therefore none of the players meet my requirements. But like you said, in the Championship or LLM this would be great.

SI.

You get a message early in a season asking if you would like to attend one of the triallist matches. As Bournemouth I found a few nice players but only signed one of them. The other ones that were interested were probably more suitable for the Conference and below.

I think there is still a bit of the a problem with players released by Chelsea and co not wanting to move to lower division teams. I didn't see them getting contracts with Championship or League 2 sides though. There was a Portuguese sounding player, released by Chelsea, that wouldn't even consider me.

Still it is a nice feature and I'll most definitely use it again.

Playing ower leagues it is great help

yeah i 'attended' the match

Nothing shone in my eyes though ( i am man city)

but well done SI

It won't show any players worth signing if you are a good club. All the players are players who have been released by their clubs and so are not great, but good enough for lower league games.

I found a couple of decent players that I've signed up for Wolves - One of 'em in particular looks to be a great find.

There's also an England Trialists III and IV iirc and the same again for Scotland Trialists as well.

I think every playable (maybe unplayable as well) country has at least one trialist match in pre-season.

On mine it had Italy Trialists I v Italy Trialists II, the same with Spain.

great addition to the game. i'm managing watford and i sign a promising 20 year old DM from that match.

I'm managing Benfica and they have it in Portugal as well.

It is a great addition but being in a lower league, a lot of the players playing in that game won't want to come to me

Yeah great addition to the game.

Playing in league 1 with a poor squad i picked up a quality young right back who had been released by Spurs and a year on my coaches rate him as a decent player for the premier league!

I used to be notified of this match when i was in the lower leagues but since making it to the prem they've stopped.

They're usually pretty high scoring games too lol. I saw the spanish one the other day, team II won 6-5, shame i missed that gem of a match haha

If you play in the lower leagues you get notified of this. Some get players on show as well sometimes.
