Defending training

From Hattrick

· English · Magyar ·

This training type trains the defending skill for all central defender and wingbacks. About 13% of the managers train defending. Note that defensive positions also trains the defending skill, for more players (midfield as well) but at a slower rate (about 50 % of defending training).

Pros

Training defenders is traditionally the most profitable training regime
Up to ten players may be trained every week, the maximum among primary skill training regimes
Interesting tactical options, involving CA, and different uses of wingbacks

Cons

Due to maximal training depending on playing five defenders each game, the attack and midfield of a defense trainer is necessarily weakened, as half the team is playing in defense.
Managers must choose between training at maximum potential, or switching to a 'better' formation with fewer players at the back in league games
Defence trainers often need to buy defenders with passing, enabling them to counter attack. These players will not recoup full value at the time of selling
Training is the slowest of the main training types
Lack of goals means supporters are reluctant to follow your club
Can be boring, as players take some time to increase in skill, and games are low scoring
Difficult for newbies, as defence is less important in lower series.
