don't increase stadium size until later - trainees are more important

Midfielders need a balance of passing, tech, pm and pace with defence also very important

thanks. I'll stay away from training MIDs and increasing stadium for a while.
my junior player that was inadequate when he joined academy and has 33 weeks till I can pull him, turned good in 2 weeks. does this mean he has great talent or does this mean that he was only high inadequate? also does he have a potential to become great player in senior squad? I kinda doubt it since he might be too old when he is pulled
oh and my junior coach is outstanding, I can't afford better one at this point

does this mean he has great talent or does this mean that he was only high inadequate?

It means he was high adequate. You now need to record the time between that pop and his next one to judge talent. Anything 5 weeks or under is pretty good with an outstanding coach.

He has the potential to come a great player, but ideally he'll need to have some talent and be aged 18.

okay I'm starting to keep records of junior pops. thank you very much for help

I got couple of decent juniors this week, and right now I have 9 juniors in my school and 11 places. I'm wondering whether I should keep following players or not
Kakha Ciklauri weak 5
Murtaz Bolkvadze average 7
Mikhail Jikia average 9
compared to others this guys look pretty bad. if I should keep them, then I probably have to expand places

Kakha Ciklauri weak 5
Murtaz Bolkvadze average 7
Mikhail Jikia average 9

They might be 16y olds, that´s why people then to keep such player even if they won`t have great skills. So it´s actually difficult to say which ones to keep.

I would sack weak 5 and would keep the others to see if they are talented.

okay. so should I expend places in youth academy from 11 to 14? I have some juniors I'm training for couple of weeks now and I still don't see their talent. do you determine their talent by just keeping the records, by seeing in how many weeks he popped?

Yes, keep tracking their talent. Btw first pop doesn`t show players real talent, because juniors also have some additional training, when they join youthschool. So make your decision after second pop. Of course, expand the school if you can afford it.

The most easiest to keep an eye on the talent is to use some of those assistant programs.

I have trouble defeating bots in my league. I just don't get it. I put all the players that have highest skills in their positions and play normal, I thought bots were supposed to be easy win.

If they used to be player run and have some good players and tactics it might not be so easy - although you have the advantage that they are predictable

good 4 them.

I have some of my players injured and now I have a problem of coming up with 11 players on the pitch for wednesday game. I don't want to use my trainees that played on sunday because then they will miss training. I have 2 players that have 8 week injuries right now. by wednesday they're gonna have 6 weeks. so is it okay if I use them for friendly game, or will It still be a walkover?

As long as it says "slight injury" you can play them.

I have outstanding coach in my junior school and one of my junior player's that was inadequate when he first arrived turned from good to solid in 4 weeks. so how can I say, what is his talent?

He popped from good to solid in 4 weeks?

That is superb talent with that coach. I guess it can`t go better than this.
