Two steps training guide

For a hattrick player (here I don’t count players with more than 200 transfers in just one year), the development of a powerful team is a high consuming time activity. After current rules of the game, new teams have a small group of greenhorns, very few supporters, and very few money.

In first year, the only thing which can be done by a hattrick starter is to change the coach in one with solid training skill, to buy some young players which he can train maximal, and to please his supporters (which, anyhow, does not have much expectations) , and then, just to wait. What does him trains? It doesn’t matter, as long as he trains right. For new teams, I think a inner middle field training it’s best to choose. In some weeks, those players are beginning to raise their skill, so in the same time, the first big victories starts to shine.

Maybe there are not many people agreeing what I’m going to write next, but I sincerely believe that, for a fast development, a very big part in the success of this plan have not just the training, but the victories in championship too. Maybe not in first season, but surely in the second season it’s important to win matches, to make points, to gain supporters.

It’s a big difference between coming 20 supporters in each week, and not just six or eight. So, I recommend that first step of trained players (bought at a passable skill), to be sold when they rich outstanding level. With money obtained, the user can easily make a good team, and buy again young players, this time with better secondary skills, and higher in skill.

With that money so made (I dare to approximate that sum at 5M $, no matter what training), over 1M $ can be invested just in young players. The difference of money can easily find other destinations: players, maybe a bigger stadium, youth team investment, and others. So it begins the second step in development of a team. The new bought young players gain some skill in the few weeks enough so they can play passable, and in other two seasons they become very good players, very searched on transfer list.

I admit that those words I said earlier were not respected 100% by me. Those are the conclusions after two years of hattrick. Maybe I sold too early some of the players in first step, or maybe I didn’t bought all the players in the second step at the same time, but one now, one in three weeks… Sometimes you just have to sell something so you can play in a higher league, where you have one of the weakest lots of players. Maybe sometimes it’s better to sell a young winger, so you can buy an inner middle fielder.

Anyhow it’s good, at least once in two seasons, to take a step back, look at your club, and see what changes you have to make so, over a few real months, your team can be better. Old players were very useful when they were brought to our team, but in the end you must give them away. A old team players doesn’t have a bright future. And, after all, be sure that, no matter how detailed you look into the future, the team came to be in need for a player, maybe for a match or too, or for an ending season. Then you can buy a old player, cheap and good, but always remember not to have too many.

I hope I made myself clear. Good luck in hattrick and real life too!

When to play 4-3-3

Hello,

Today I’ve decided to present 4-3-3 system. It’s a system which can bring you big winnings, if you have a solid defense and a central attack very powerful. The weak spot of this system is the middle field. In 95% cases this 4-3-3 system has to be played within Counter Attack tactic. From my experience ‘till now, if you don’t have very good defenders, 4-3-3 is inferior to 5-3-2.

That because the defense rating must not be the same with the attack of the opponent, but at least two levels better. If this can’t be done, it’s better to give up 4-3-3. Actually the secret of this tactic stands in how good you can defend yourself, because the opponent will have a lot of chances, with his better middle field.

I recommend 4-3-3 together with Counter Attack to be played against opponents who plays 3-5-2, and have much better middle field rating, but their attack rating it’s pretty low. If the opponent have the middle field and the attack much more powerful than you can handle, 4-3-3 must be forget.

There are some variations regarding this system, especially at the middle field. So, possession can be considerably upgraded playing with 2 inner middle fields, and just one winger, or even just with 3 inner middle fields. Last solution I don’t recommend, but, if you have a central attack very, very powerful, then it has a chance. The disadvantage of counter attack tactic is that you can’t have a selections of the sides of your attacks, on the center, or on the wings, from , let’s say, 10 matches, in at least one or two you may have the unpleasant surprise when you don’t receive at least one attack on center.

The second variant is to play with one winger and two inners. It’s the most used solution, being clearly the best variant of 4-3-3 with Counter Attack. In most of the games, the 2 inner middle fields are enough to reduce pretty much number of occasions of the opponent. You must take care of the side you play your winger. If it’s possible to know, try to play him on the opponent’s weaker side of defense.

Last variant (2 wingers and just one middle field player), I’m using sometimes in my team, but I would not say it’s the most recommended way to put your team in the field. The reason I do it is because I’m training wingers, and it’s a good way to play the right tactic, without losing one week training for one player.

Number of middle field players is set basically, by the opponent. So, if your team can match the middle field rating of the opponent’s, it’s very useful to give up your wingers, for middle field players. So, you’ll have the Counter Attack occasions, but will have some normal occasions, too, which, regarding your three scorers may be more than enough for a good result.

But, if you have no chance to stay close to his middle field rating, it may not matter if you play with one inner field player for a possession of 10%, or with two ones, for 15%. In such situations it’s better to upgrade your defense, or your attack, giving up totally to any idea of middle field rating. It’s risky, but in some matches this may be the only way.
Good luck in the new season!
