Six-block weekly plan

Build a week with a purpose.

Choose the focus and intensity of six training blocks. Physical work, shooting, attacking and defensive tactics, one-on-one play, goalkeeping, video analysis and recovery each serve a different purpose.

  • Six configurable weekly blocks
  • Low, medium or high intensity
  • Eight training focuses
  • A saved plan and a report on the week’s progress

Individual development

Different players need different work.

Use individual plans to focus selected players on the areas you want to improve. Development also reflects coaching, facilities and playing time, so a prospect’s plan belongs alongside their place in your rotation.

  • Individual training priorities
  • Player attribute development
  • Playing time contributes to development
  • Specialist goalkeeper training

Workload and recovery

Push hard. Know when to ease off.

Higher intensity can accelerate development while increasing fatigue and injury risk. Recovery blocks restore condition and support morale. A crowded fixture list makes the balance between improvement and readiness a recurring decision.

  • Intensity changes development, fitness cost and injury risk
  • Recovery sessions support condition and morale
  • Training reports highlight gains and injuries
  • Plan around the next opponent and the wider calendar

Coaching and facilities

Put the right people around the players.

Recruit staff for the work your club needs: coaching, conditioning, goalkeeping, academy development, scouting, medical support and analysis. Staff quality has practical effects, while contracts and wages make every appointment a financial choice.

  • Recruit, renew or release staff
  • Training-centre capacity influences staffing space
  • Coaching and specialist development effects
  • Contract wages and dismissal costs

Medical support

Readiness is a team decision.

The medical centre shows available, injured and tired players with estimated return times. Medical staff and facilities influence recovery and injury risk; your rotation and training choices determine the load placed on the squad.

  • Available, injured and fatigued player views
  • Estimated injury-return timing
  • Medical and conditioning support
  • Rotate before tiredness becomes a squad-wide problem

Tactical familiarity

Make your system second nature.

Training supports familiarity with your attacking and defensive approach. Video work adds preparation for the next match. Combine those sessions with opponent analysis and the starting lineup you intend to use.

  • Attacking and defensive tactical preparation
  • System familiarity over time
  • Video-analysis preparation
  • A connection between the weekly plan and matchday decisions

Transfers & scouting

Scouting, negotiations and contract choices turn a wish list into a squad. Every signing competes for wages, minutes and a place in your long-term plan.
