Patfan1991 started following Preferred Foot, Semi-Pro Youth Development Question, Strategies to improve/maintain Morale of Squad and 3 others

Hi, I have a semi-pro team with average youth and senior team facilities. I know reputation plays a part in bringing in higher potential players but I tend to have one consistent problem. Despite having good coaching and mentoring, I can't seem to develop first team players (Even when I give them time as starters around 18 and hope they will develop into starters for current league). Now I know that having a fully professional team helps as well as not trying to develop players and focus on getting up the pyramid ASAP but I would like to try to develop players if possible. Is there any advice

I do that too. The problem I have is I'm not being consistent with maintaining morale. This is my fault and I need to be more attentive to this. Honestly, I'm become lazy when my team is playing well. Maybe this along with other factors is why my teams tends to go through long loosing streaks when I do nothing to improve morale.

I use a 4-4-2 Counter Attack but I’m uncertain on how to set up my out of possession to help create better defense I know it could be the quality of my players not being up to snuff but I was wonder if putting more focus on anticipation/positioning could create more interceptions to help keep the opposition away as much I usually try to distribute to flanks to create space in the mid

Preferred Foot

Does preferred foot create any advantage in defensive if a CD is left footed and is put on the right side to defend a right footed player or vice versa? -

How does this affect strikers and midfielders? -
Hi, I have a question How important is it for a player to be playing on the left/right side of a pitch? Does it affect how the players pass the ball/dribble significantly? Thanks
