Goalkeeping training

Goalkeeping training trains goalkeepers only, in their goalkeeping skill. Rougly 8% of the Hattrick population trains goalkeeping.

Pros

• Incredibly simple, as there are no secondaries to consider
• Very low start up costs
• Flexibility of formation
• Goalkeeper is one of the most important positions on the field
• A good option for people with limited time
• Enables a manager to use a very small squad, with the low wages that entails
• Short-term injuries may be partly compensated for by skilltrading
• Fast training means rapid improvement in defence ratings

Cons

• All outfield upgrades must be paid for, as team does not improve through training
• Injury problems are more damaging than with any other type of training
• Goalkeepers gain less value through training (in proportion to the number of trainees) than most other types of trainees
