Although vital, both newcomers and seasoned players of Football Manager 2024 may underestimate the significance of customizing training schedules, especially during critical periods like pre-season and before key matches such as playoffs and cup finals.

These specialized training schedules significantly contribute to a team's advancement in player development and tactical evolution, ensuring that players continually improve their attributes rather than stagnate, a pivotal aspect of team management.

1 Pre-Season Conditioning

Preparing for the New Season

• Focuses on Physical Conditioning and Tactical Familiarity
• Incorporates recovery after each friendly match to minimize injury risks

Transitioning into a new season can be daunting for both new and returning managers as they strive to implement new formations or refine existing tactics for enhanced tactical familiarity. A rigorous pre-season regimen becomes imperative, especially when facing numerous matches throughout the season.

Emphasizing physical training, including endurance and quickness, facilitates the swift restoration of players' physical prowess. Additional sessions such as chance conversions, creative play, and team bonding are essential for boosting players' tactical acumen.

2 Physical Focus

Enhancing Physical Attributes

• Emphasizes the development of physical attributes during the season
• Benefits players and teams reliant on physical prowess

Teams that rely on physicality to overpower opponents require a focus on physical attributes throughout the season. A less intense schedule during mid-season is essential to maintain players' fitness levels.

This focus significantly benefits positions dependent on physicality, such as ball-winning midfielders who rely on strength and quickness to safeguard the backline. However, players in other positions also experience positive outcomes from this training.

3 Technical Focus

Enhancing Team's Technical Attributes

• Focuses on technical attributes such as passing, vision, and finishing
• Particularly beneficial for attacking midfielders, forwards, and wide players

Technical proficiency holds immense importance in Football Manager 2024, with players needing to outperform opponents during intense match moments. Excelling in evading pressure and executing precise passes demands high dribbling, passing, and decision-making abilities. This training schedule notably benefits midfielders and forwards.

Midfielders and forwards rely on technical prowess within their respective areas of the pitch. For instance, successful forwards require exceptional finishing and composure to convert opportunities and secure a goal-scoring advantage.
