According to Game Manual, DMI is the overall player index, has at least two aspects in its definiton. First it "gives a very rough indication of how good your player is." And second "This is a good way to check that your player is getting training".

My observation, based on last 2 seasons games, puts down to the fact that the team superior in total DMI (particularly for the lineup) has great advantage to win the game, unless using adventurous tactics. Since DMI changes every week in a close relation with the form level of player, it basically shows how good and to what extent might be every single players performance througout the current week. Therefore I believe DMI totals are very important indicators for the upcoming match.

And pertinent to second aspect, I don't have any proof or observation that higher DMI means higher skill pops and training effectiveness. Is there any manager that can claim that higher DMI, and higher form levels in other words, increases the training speed? Please note that same Game Manual says verbatim "Game Shape is an indication of how sharp the player looked in practice and therefore how well he will be expected to play in a game; it is not an indicator of how effective his training sessions were". And in this context, how do you perceive the second aspect of DMI definition?

Thanks in advance for your valuable contributions.

dmi in my view is affected if course by how much you are training a player. but also on how he is used. you can train a guy to the moon and you can have his minutes in order but if he rides the pine during league games his dmi will lag, quality of minutes mean a lot.

you don't have any proof that higher DMI means higher skill pops and traning effectiveness because this is not what the second statement says. DMI doesn't affect the effectiveness of training. it's just an indicator of how good the skills of your player are.

to summarise, training positively affects DMI (because it improves the skills) but DMI does not affect training. the DMI level by itself makes no difference to how well the player will train.

if you check the DMI of your trainee when his game shape is highest (level 9, which is the ceiling, thus no sublevels), you will notice that every week his game shape is 9 the DMI will be higher, unless he didn't receive any training (in this case the DMI will be the same)

DMI will also fade a bit with stamina drops (unless you have the staff in place to stop stamina drops or even raise it)

true dat
