I decided I wanted to shape the development of my players a bit more. I tried to form the players coming through the ranks to better suit my brand of football, so my U18’s needed an overhauled training regime. That meant looking at their development and sculpting it more to my tastes and preferences. These are the training regimes I use to do so.

You spot a talented player worth a few million, you approach his club with an offer, and they fire back with a ludicrous demand fifty times his actual value. I’m sure that rings a bell with most of us. The transfer market is going crazy, in real life as well as in Football Manager. As a result, training and developing your youths become increasingly essential, especially when money is tight. In this article I want to discuss my training regimen.
