Through passes

From Hattrick

Improves the passing ability of your central defenders, wingbacks, inner midfielders and wingers. This done by about 1% of the managers. Note that short passes also trains the passing skill, for different players.

Pros

• You can train up to 20 players by using 4-5-1, 5-4-1, or even 5-5-0 formations.

• It trains all players except goalkeepers and forwards.

• Suitable for teams who train defenders and midfielders.

• Recent changes in the game engine are encouraging multiskilled players so all teams need to concentrate more on secondary skills such as passing than previously.

Cons

• Relatively slow training rate.

• Trains only Secondary Skill, Passing, which is seen by some to be non-profitable.

• Requires primary skill to be competitive, thus requiring more investment.

• Not obvious performance improvement in league or friendly games.
