Download the Best Training Schedules for Football Manager 2012

I’ve been on the lookout for good training regimes for FM 2012 and after some research I can say that this post includes the very best training schedules for Football Manager 2012. I have visited almost every Football Manager fan site and forum out there looking for these and I have selected four training schedules that look good enough to make a difference. Let me introduce them one by one.

Maestro Ugo’s FM 2012 Training Schedules

Maestro Ugo was pretty successful with his schedules for FM 2011 and now he strikes again with brand new training regimes for FM 2012. There are both senior and youth schedules included and the basic philosophy is, according to the author, as follows: «Create training regimes of slightly higher workload than the default ones (two ticks higher workload), that would emphasize what I consider to be important attribute for a given position. Even though the SI finally started differentiating between positions by implementing four different default schedules, I still feel more differentiation is needed, thus creating these. Youth training should be more versatile than the senior one, thus the youth schedules are more general, ensuring players will improve in most of the areas, but still focusing on the position specific ones.»

Here is a quick run-down of the included schedules:

Senior schedules:
MU — GK: for keepers
MU — FB: for fullbacks
MU — WB: for wingbacks
MU — DC: for central defenders
MU — DM: for defensive midfielders and defence oriented MCs
MU — AM: for attacking midfielders and attack oriented MCs
MU — WG: for wingers
MU — ST(fast): for fast, poaching type strikers
MU — ST(strng): for strong, target man type strikers

Youth schedules:
MU — Y (gk) — for young keepers
MU — Y (def) — for young defensively oriented players (DC, FB, DM)
MU — Y (wng) — for young wingers and wingbacks (AMRL, WB)
MU — Y (att) — for young attacking oriented players (ST, AMC)

Ajinkx’s Training for FM 2012

Ajinkx made something a bit more complex, based on SFraser’s approach. There are two schedules for injured players that can be used to bring them back into shape quickly and there also are schedules for first team players, youth team players and schedules specifically designed for young players who have to be helped to reach their potential (these are the «Dev» schedules). Here’s the full list:

Raikan007’s FM 2012 Training Regime

Raikan’s package includes first team schedules and five youth schedules, all on medium workload because the author believes that heavier workloads can cause injuries.
