· English · Nederlands · Magyar · Русский ·

This type of training will train the skill wing for wingers and wingbacks (half rate). About 4% of the managers train crossing. Note that Wing attacks will also train the wing skill, for potentially more players (forwards as well as wingers) but at a slower rate.

Pros

• Fastest training type (with goalkeeping training).
• Relative freedom in formations you can play.
• Teams are unpredictable because of the ability to switch formations and wing attacks
• It is more profitable than often given credit for, providing you are training the right players
• Recent changes in the game engine have improved wingers more than other positions

Cons

• Trains the joint least number of players after goalkeeping (counting half training slots for half a player), with the least number of full training slots after goalkeeping..
• A lower midfield rating if your trainees don't have high playmaking.
• Difficult to know what to do with the wingback slots
• Secondary skills are very important, and because of this, newbies find it difficult to buy good trainees
• Some people claim that wing skill doesn't give a price relative to other skills. This might change in the future because of the recent change that gave forwards less influence in attack ratings on the wings.
• There are at least three different markets for finished wing trainees, and the wing trainer must be aware of all of them
