Should you handle training schedules yourself or leave them to your assistant manager?
Assistant Managers are actually pretty good at setting up General Training schedules. Not as good as some human managers can be but good enough to develop your players well.
Just remember to take control of Individual Training yourself - do not leave that up to your AM because your AM doesn't know exactly how you want your players to develop.
Rashidi (Bustthenet) always recommends setting individual trainings yourself. Why?
1. You could be a lower league side and you specifically want physical attributes prioritised instead of other attributes. Success in hardcore LLM saves comes from those small margins you gain from being more specific. The assman on the other hand may take a more general approach.
2. You might be a youth only academy driven save. Now you want to see youth players getting into senior teams by 18. By balancing their game time with training time you can achieve growth. To get them ready for the senior team, you might only want them to have a few key attributes. You could choose poacher instead of complete forward for individual training of a young striker, in hopes that a focused approach will get him ready asap.
As long as a training schedule is balanced you are fine. When in doubt just train the player in the role you want then to play in.
Optimum gameplay = you manage all aspects of training and ensure you give them appropriate game time.
