great news... I don't have any of those programs that tell you pops and what not... but at least 3 players returned from injury to bandaid stage of injury... what gets me is my inability to have trainees pop... i've had like one pop in the last 2 months... i am really impatient with it though.

Form was +5/-6. 20 yo Belgian mid to brilliant PM.
And Johno, move to a solid coach. You'll start to see pops then. Trust me.

Woo hoo, does my little trainee pop dance.
20 yo Englishman to brilliant, he'll be on the TL soon hopefully his form goes up. He gives me an all brilliant starting midfield.
18 yo Argentinian to formidable PM
form was +6/-4, but one minus was a coach.

Haven't checked HAM yet, but form looks to have slipped a bit overall this week. My #3 inner mid popped to extra-terrestrial, so we're all happy about that.

No pops and form was +2/-8, mostly starters going down. Feh.
Lonestar: Do you see much returns on training past Titanic? I was under the impression that prices start to flatten or even drop at that point because of wages getting out of hand.

Well this is the part of the game where I'm not so smart (money-wise). I divide my 6 inner mids into 2 groups, starters and trainees. Mids 1-3 aren't being trained to sell off, they're the starters I keep until they get too old or too expensive (or both). Mids 4-6 are the trainees that I either groom to start when I sell off an older guy, or I sell when they're ripe enough.
Like last season when I sold off a 30 year old midfielder due to age/wage problems. The guy who just popped to ET was the #4 guy I'd been grooming to start for awhile now since he has solid passing. So he became a starter and I bought a 17 year old trainee to fill the void.

form bad, training good.
This was just posted on global--it's an interesting analysis of the similarity of training rates across nations. It uses a statistical technique called Hierarchical Clustering, used a lot in biology, which is basically a way to figure out how closely "related" genes (or in this case nations) are. ( see http://www.bio.davidson.edu/Courses/CompBio/jas/background.htm if you're interested in learning more)
The analysis of HT-nations can be found here: http://student.science.uva.nl/~lhoek/training.php?min=100&dump=1
I'm not sure there's anything that these results can be used for (arbitrage doesn't really work in HT, I don't think), but they're kind of interesting. Not surprisingly, our closest relatives are Canada and Oceania. It's interesting that the three big non-soccer fanatic ex-british colony nations have similar patterns of training. We're all in a cluster of nations that concentrates on "traditional" training (scoring, PM, GK) and has not really jumped at the new training types. There's another cluster of nations (mostly central European like Austria, Germany, Checzh Repub., Slovakia, Bulgaria, & Colombia (?)) that have a higher than average proportion training def. positioning , shooting & passing (but not through passing). the Swedes are in a cluster of nations that really like to train PM, but have alos embraced through passing and shooting more than average. The S. American nations (Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, & Bolivia) love to train General, stamina, and Set Pieces.
Again, not sure how this is useful, but I thought this guy's analysis was pretty neat.

You can save some money by using a spreadsheet to track your players instead of one of those off the shelf projgrams. LOL!
