I trained stamina because one of my trainee got injured,i wanted to play OD last week but something messed up my minutes.And its happening again this week.For unknown reasons he played only 46 mins,i dunno why cause i know how to set him up to play 48 like last few weeks.But he is still going to receive 48+ minutes this week cause my third trainee is still injured so he will play those 2 mins.What's strange about him is that he pops every week.And i had coach lvl 5...Now i have coach lvl 6 so i expect him to continiue to pop regulary ...i will train PA this week and OD next,i ll rotate that 2 till the end of the season

I would give him passing until he pops to strong(maybe only 1 week of 1 position) ...then ID to strong(maybe only two weeks of 1 position and only 1 if you popped half way through the respectable)..then I would give him OD 1 position all the way through the offseason....1 thing is for sure...He is a great player, if you are ever looking to sell, send me a BB mail.

ID popped while training IS, so the ID sublevel is probably quite low. Is the traning you are talking about for the team or for U21?

If I'd ever want to sell him, I'll let you know, but for now I want to make him into a Kiebink-like SF with better inside game on account of worse outside shooting. I saw Kiebink's skills when VS was selling him and I liked him a lot except for ID and PA. He's got really high JS which eats a lot of potential, so I'd rather build his inside game.

Thanks for the reply!

Is he capped already? Can he still have some pop left? Thanks.

Using Josef Ka's formula he is at 18.14. Starter is estimated to cap at 16-18 so i would say he is capped.

how do i know what tactics to play

Agree with Manon. Also consider the pace of the offense based on your team's stamina. To play a high tempo offense you do need your key players to have a good amount of them. Stamina is the energy level that affects the performance on the court.

For example:

Fast pace, low stamina -- your coach will sub your players out quite frequently unless you choose a strict player rotation option. If they stay on long on the court with low stamina without resting they will start to perform badly as the game goes on longer. But subbing frequently is not that bad, to be honest I love my starters getting 30~ minutes per game as it helps with getting a good/decent gameshape the week after.

Another thing to know about pace is that if you play a stronger team, it's recommended to slow down the tempo of the game. Less possessions give you a better chance of keeping the game close (in a way gives you a better chance to nick the win).

This is all I can think of right now.
