Yep.

And i think its partly because im wanting FM09 hehe.

Already definitely champions, so League Two here we come..still got a few games in this league though, lol.

One of my guys has hit 100+ goals..wtf.

57(5) Appearances, 101 Goals, 22 Assists, 34 MoM. Guess it helps being a lone striker :|.

Another guy has these stats; 30(1) Appearances, 11 goals, 26 appearances.
 
Right.
Im a little confused with the coaching scenario.
According to this:

I need:
Not sure if this is the same that someone posted above but this is how to get 7 star coaching:

If you want a 7 star coaching your coach must have at least:

Strength: 18 Fitness

Aerobic: 18 Fitness

Goalkeeping: 18 Goalkeeping

Tactics: 18 Tactical

Defending: 18 Defending and 18 Tactical
19 Defending and 14 Tactical
20 Defending and 10 Tactical

Ball Control: 18 Technique and 18 Mental
19 Technique and 14 Mental
20 Technique and 10 Mental

Attacking: 18 Attacking and 18 Tactical
19 Attacking and 14 Tactical
20 Attacking and 10 Tactical

Shooting: 18 Technique and 18 Attacking
19 Technique and 14 Attacking
20 Technique and 10 Attacking

Set Pieces: 17 Technique and 39 (mental+attacking)
18 Technique and 36 (mental+attacking)
19 Technique and 33 (mental+attacking)
20 Technique and 30 (mental+attacking)

Also make sure you have a different coach for each aspect of coaching. I use 9 different coaches each one doing only 1 area as named above and its 7 star for all

So wtf does that mean!? lol.
Is that saying that i need:
For strength, someone with 18 fitness.
For aerobic, someone with 18 fitness.
for GK, someone with 18 GK
For tactics, someone with 18 tactical.
for defending, someone with 19 defending & 14 tactical, AND someone with 20 defending and 10 tactical.
etc;

Ive got 15 coaches at the moment, and dont know how to assign who to what and when, or who to get rid of.

Thoughts?
 
Heres my staff at the moment.
Who do i keep, who do i get rid of?

Check out Maesschalk! Possibly the games best coach? Shame i cant get him to become one. :(.
 
Well, i think, ive got:
3 qualified for strength.
3 qualified for aerobic.
2 qualified for goalkeeping.
7 qualified for tactics
7 qualified for defending
3 qualified for ball control
3 qualified for attacking
2 qualified for shooting

And ive not a clue how you can get '39' for the set pieces one. :p

So do i got to each coach and manually assign them to each training area?
##EDIT##
Or not, as im finding some of my coaches are excellent in several areas?
Ive found that if i assign one coach per area so that i get 7 stars in the bit at the bottom, im left short with shooting and set pieces.
It appears that my weak links in my coaching staff are Ambrosini, Cafu & Tasotti.

Correct?

##EDIT2##
And even more weak links when i come to the youth team coachings. :(.

See what scores your coaches have and then assign them to coaching in what they are good at. So a coach with 18+ for fitness coaching could do either strength or aerobic coaching, or both if you had two decent coaches, but it would make sense to have one coach on strength and the other on aerobics.

So just carry on with all the coaches and assign them to their best area. You should try and make sure that the workload for each coach isn't too high and that each coaching skill has a high star count, representing a high quality of coaching.

Paste a screenshot of your training assignments if you want and I'll help. Or perhaps add me to MSN and send me screenshots of all your coaches so I can say where they should coach. :)

If you have a coach who can excel in more than one kind of coaching then perhaps get him to do what you find is a lower star rating coaching.

Or if you have too many to use, sack 'em! :D
