Coach and Physio

In domestic competitions, the number of coaching/physio sessions available is determined by your budget allocation at the start of the season.

To allocate a session to a player, first select him and then assign the training session you require from the pop-up menu. An icon representing the type of training he is undergoing will appear opposite his name.

To remove a coach or physio session from a player, select a player and then select No Coaching or No Physio.

Coaching Tips

· Youth team coaching can produce excellent young players, but it is always a bit of a risk.

· Extra coaching points are handy but expensive. It is a better idea to use what you have already and ensure all your players benefit by continually moving your resources around
the team.

· Coaching has little effect on in-form players. Coaching technique has more long term effect on young players than older ones, so a good policy is to direct coaching towards them.

· Some players are more prone to injury than others. If you have a star player that keeps getting injured, sell him or spend more on physiotherapy so that they return to action more quickly.
