Osmosis training

Osmosis training is one of the names given to the small amount of training all players receive if not played in the correct position for that training type. As mentioned in the rules with ((others)). Note that players do not receive this training with goalkeeping training. This small amount of training is estimated to be around 1/6 of the training a player receives that played on the right position for that training type.

Some managers try to profit from this phenomenon by buying a lot of players with a very high sub-level. If done correctly the small amount of training will do to make a player pop within a couple of weeks. Then the player will be sold for a profit. This is a type of skill trading with the noticible difference that players are not fielded at all.
However, it takes considerable skill and experience from the manager to spot players with a sufficient high sub level in the first place, and second make a good profit trading them.

Klaverjas Training (Dutch)

Derived from a cardgame that was popular among proffesional players in Holland. It was played to kill time during training camps and long busrides and they used to bet quite heavely on the cards. Because not everyone could stand losing or felt obliged to pay their debts, this sometimes resulted in a bit of tension. Even to the extent that players were forbidden to play klaverjas anymore by their coaches.
Since players bought for the sole purpose of recieving osmosis training only sit around in the canteen or on the bench, they have plenty of time for cardgames. And because of the frequent transfers and subsequent TS-drops the team spirit will suffer from this cardplaying bunch of guys. So the link with the cardplaying incidents was easily made.
