Individual: improve the player in the Fifa career.
You want to improve your players? This tends to be not that difficult, but there are some aspects that should be taken into account, which we are happy to tell you about in this post. Basically, stock players that you take over when you start a manager career are very difficult to improve. For example, if you take over Unterhaching, Bochum or Duisburg, you’ll notice that their players only make small leaps forward. This is because they have most likely already reached an age where development is no longer possible in such a way. On the other hand, of course, it may be that they have already exhausted their full potential and have reached the end of their development span.
The future lies in youth
As (probably) in real life, the future in Fifa career mode also lies in youth. So you have to rely on your youth players to develop and improve accordingly – and they will do so automatically, even if you don’t do anything at all. Assuming you sign a youth player and don’t care about him at all, even he will improve over the seasons and increase in GES (total points). So there is an „in-house“ improvement potential attributed to each youth player you sign. We note: Of course, this does not apply to stock players, because they usually develop significantly worse than any young talent you promote from your own youth into your team.
Fifa Career: Optimal talent development
If you see that you have scouted or taken over a real talent in your ranks (83-94 GES in the first youth month or 92-94 GES after a few months in the academy), it is very important that you promote your super talent accordingly. Little could be more tragic in Fifa than a talent that is recognized as such but not promoted. So you have to make sure that you promote, use, train and fulfill your player’s wishes accordingly. Sounds difficult? It certainly isn’t, because the first step is already in your hands.
Promote a player to the professional squad
A player you want to improve, you ideally take directly into your professional team and use him (if possible) directly. This probably won’t work in every game, but at least he should be a substitute or substitute player. He can be promoted to your professional squad within seconds.
Improving players: this is how to do it!
Let’s get back to the question after we have clarified the prerequisites. How do you improve a player? Basically, there are a number of tips that you should consider in order to promote and develop a player in the best possible way:
- Effective training: Your player should be trained regularly. Set up your training schedule in such a way that your player participates in as many different training sessions as possible that correspond to his position or his abilities.
- Rest breaks and days off: Your player should be given rest breaks. An overtrained player will be exhausted on the field and will not perform as well as you expect.
- Regular lineup: Line up your desired player regularly. Include him in the starting lineup for your next matches and make sure he gets on the field as often as possible
- Spare and nurture: If you see that your player is hardly performing in the match – replace him! Do not hesitate, but make sure that a substitute player enters the pitch. Even with potential superstars, it is very important that rest breaks and substitutions take place so that the player can develop in the best possible way
- Contracts and salary: try to fulfill all salary requests and contract wishes of your player as much as possible. If he asks for more salary, try to make it possible that he gets more salary accordingly. If he asks for a contract extension, you should do it and not delegate it
Exploit player potential
In this way, you will manage to exploit the potential of your players in the best possible way. Not all variables are always equally important, but if you take most of our tips to heart, in the long run you will shape a player who will take on a world-class format and will more than help you in important games. We therefore recommend: maximum promotion and maximum wish fulfillment of your top stars. And we also see here how close Fifa is to the real conditions of current contract negotiations and transfer requests – because in real soccer the conditions are sometimes even clearer than the Fifa machinery would make it possible.
