Individual »

If you train ”Individual”, all players will receive training in a skill important for the position they played.

More specifically, individual training randomly pick one of the skills that is important for the position the player played. The more valuable the skill is for the position played in the match the higher is the chance of your player being trained in it. So, the chance of your player being trained in a primary skill is higher than him being trained in a secondary one.

The schedule below shows what skills are being trained for the different positions:

Position A skill B skill C skill D skill E skill
Goalkeeper Goalkeeping Defending Set pieces - -
Back Defending Passing Playmaking Winger Set pieces
Defender Defending Passing Playmaking Set pieces -
Midfielder Playmaking Defending Passing Set pieces -
Winger Winger Defending Passing Playmaking Set pieces
Forward Scoring Passing Winger Set pieces -

"A skill" is the skill most likely to be trained. "B skill" is the second most likely skill to be trained and so forth.

Individual training will always be slower than the other types of training but it can be almost as fast as the types of training that train many players.
