Advanced Training Tips

Training effectiveness varies by player condition - train when player is in good form
Some stats have diminishing returns after 90 - focus on getting multiple stats to 90 first
Position familiarity affects performance more than raw stats in some cases
Young base players (under 25) often have better training potential than older featured
Training multiple similar players? Use the best one as template for others
Save duplicate featured players - they're the most efficient trainers for themselves
Some stats like 'Form' and 'Injury Resistance' are often overlooked but valuable
Match performance can reveal which stats need priority over paper calculations
