Nomis07 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yup new feature, to help us have a look at possible up and coming stars. You can view the match in the usual manner, or check out the stats afterwards and see if any of the players take you fancy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty bison Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yes, this feature was called "Trial Days" in the pre-release publicity. Players who are available on free transfers show their skills to potential suitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss_1873_Rfc Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 How do you view the match? As i couldn't find it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I haven't tried it, but I assume it will be in the list of fixtures and just a matter of clicking on the "v" and it should change to "view". If you click on the scoreline after the match has been played, you will be taken to the match screen with match stats etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredric Drum Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Not exactly, Nomis. You get a news item about trial day, and you choose there if you want to attend or not. If not, you can receive scout reports on the players your asst. man. finds most interesting. Seems like a feature for lower league teams, who can look for players who're unable to secure contracts and are desperate for attention. Doubt you'll find world beaters this way. I attended with FC Cartagena (Spanish 3rd div.), but none of them were really good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaidenMadness Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 is this strictly restricted to english leagues? cause i guess its something useful when managing small clubs, but i've only come accross it in england game and not in spain or italy, though one has to be fair and say that i've played in england with northampton whereas in spain and italy i've played with top tier clubs so perhaps that plays factor as well...

Glenn Wakeford Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 is this strictly restricted to english leagues? Nope, it occurs in almost all leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt you'll find world beaters this way. I attended with FC Cartagena (Spanish 3rd div.), but none of them were really good enough. It's a bit of both actually. You get a news item asking if you want to attend. Be careful though, because if you don't answer straight away you don't get the invite again. BUT when the fixtures are listed you can click on the v and the word attend should appear. I had the choice between two trial matches, don't know whether this is the norm though.
