That red name was getting annoying. I'm three seasons in and still in D.VI, which annoys the snot out of me.

You can find me in the Newbie or USA conferences.

Playmaking training

2005-12-30T05:09:04Z

JustJoe:

This type of [[training]] will train the skill [[Playmaking]] for [[Inner Midfielder]]s and [[winger]]s (half rate).
Midfield is considered the most important part of your team, so improving that is a good idea. This is the most popular training regime, as 22% of Hattrick managers train Playmaking.

== Pros ==
* You train 10 players (though 4 at half speed), which is the most after defending training.
* A fast way of building an effective team, as midfield is the most important area in hattrick.
* Allows flexibility in your style of play, through clever use of [[secondary skills]].
* Since playmakers are in high demand, this might make you a lot of money.

== Cons ==
* Only [[3-5-2]] and [[4-5-1]] are viable [[formations]] from a training perspective.
* You need 10 trainees, so start-up costs may be high.
* When beginning this regime, your midfield rating might be very low if you've chose to train midfielders with either lower [[stamina]] or playmaking.
* You cannot play the same midfield in league and cup matches and still train at maximum efficiency, which can limit your chances in one or the other.
* You need to either buy trainees with high [[stamina]], or switch to [[stamina training]] sometimes, because playmaking skill is dimished if a player doesn't have excellent stamina.
* Everybody else is doing it. Do you want to follow the herd?

Offensive wing back

JustJoe: Fleshing out the stub.

An offensive wingback adds a portion of his [[defending]] skill to the team's [[defense ratings]] which is reduced from his normal capacity as a [[defender]] while contributing a part of his [[winger]] skill to the team's wing attack ratings.

Defending training

2005-12-22T18:45:39Z

JustJoe: /* Cons */

==Pros==

Training [[defenders]] is often considered the most profitable [[training]] regime because it allows for ten players each week, the maximum among primary skill training regimes, to receive full training if the manager plays a [[5-4-1]], [[5-3-2]] or [[5-5-0]] formation in both the league game and the friendly or cup match.

==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. This creates a dichotomy: either train at maximum potential, ten trainees a week, or switch to a formation with fewer players at the back in league games ([[4-4-2]] and the ever-present [[3-5-2]] are the two most used formations in this instance). The debate over which is preferable is one which will "rage" among defense trainers if you bring it up on the forums.

Some defense trainers have chosen to find a happy medium between the two, training [[offensive central defender]]s or [[offensive wingback]]s.

Offensive central defender

JustJoe: Fleshing out the stub.

An offensive central defender adds a portion of his [[defending]] skill to the team's [[defense ratings]] which is reduced from his normal capacity as a [[defender]] while contributing a part of his [[playmaking]] skill, combined with [[stamina]], to the [[midfield]].
