telV7 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I am wondering about this aspect as I get it for a number of my younger players. I understand that providing them with with first team experience will increase their attributes, but quite frankly most are not ready for first team matches. Where possible I play them for cup matches, and continental. Also give them a run in the league when the opportunity presents. The question is how many matches a season, as the report suggests there could be a numerical value attached? One particular player, at 18, I signed on a free and rated four star potential. That then dropped to about 3 star, but he has improved and is now a rotation player at 19 and has gone back up to 3.5 stars. As a central defender I think he gets a fair run, as I play Jagielka and Heitinga as my main pairing, with the young fella next, and have Distan as a backup. His appearances As you can see this season he has played a fair bit in non competitive matches, which would be friendlies and a few reserve matches. In terms of first team we have only played 8 and he has started in 3. So yeah, I figure he is being given the opportunity, and those opportunities are my doing, as unless my other two DC's are at 90% the Assistant won't give him a look. So the two questions i suppose are, should he be playing more, and, am I placing too much importance on the training report? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coady Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Match time has too much of a bearing on fulfilling potential imo. Look at Chamberlain at Arsenal, he barely played for 6 months, and it helped him improve more than ever before. It would also help if when they talked about needing first team football, they started getting some and/or accepting some loan offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looknohands Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I believe it's been reported as a possible bug and is being looked into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just ignore it and decide for yourself how the lads are developing. Your the intelligent one anyway not your coaches or assman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
