Ali Agharabi Username 3439 msgs. Best scorer	Okay. So, I've had a lot of newbie friends ask me tiring questions like "why the heck do I have to farm players?" I've searched through the forum for threads that properly explain the term, but found none. I guess I didn't check well anyway. I have therefore decided to explain the essence of farming, so that I can easily link this thread to my inquisitive friends, and also other newbies can gain from it. Here in SM, there is no specific coach to train a particular position as it is in real-life and other online managing games. There's just one coach which you hire from the STAFF menu. He's versatile as far as SM is concerned; he can train ANY position to your satisfaction. Now, you have a bad team with low-averaged players, and you really need a 70-averaged team so you can contend for titles in your normal leagues and even PL. This is where farming comes in handy. Farming enables you to train several players of a particular position for a long period of time, till you are satisfied with their averages; of course, they MUST be marketable averages. Once this is achieved, you should keep some and sell the rest. This is the trick; lets say I want to train defenders only. I get 10 junior defenders of high progression (Learn more about progression ----> http://en.strikermanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=294666) and train them with the trainings beneficial to them only. (You can find it here ----> http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ah_mRsFIHgwgdG85bnQxZ2kzc1ZiZlhLZkE4ekllMFE#gid=0) When they are probably of a nice average, I will then sell them. With the money obtained from the sales, I can then use it to buy other desired positions that would fit into my tactics. NB: You don't farm for the benefit of your team only. Farming is meant for your team to have good players of a particular position, and also to have stable income when you sell some of your farmed players. Key Things To Note - It applies to both senior and junior teams; - SM training operations is designed using a 7-day model. Some would say, "I'll train GKs for 4 days, and forwards for 3 days". It's no crime at all, but it's at your players' expense. They ought to be maximally trained, else there'll be a decline in their forecast. - There are positions to train that when sold, they have good returns; this makes them expensive to purchase. LDF/CDF/RDF, DFM, LIM/IM/RIM, OM, LF/CF/RF There are also cheaper positions to train, that will yield fewer returns; GK, LB/RB, LM/RM, LW/RW Your choice is affected by your finances. Choose wisely. - You must have 88+ coaches to be able to farm effectively. - Start with low progression players (80-85%); they are very, very affordable irrespective of their positions. Conclusion Dear newbie, farming is not an unhealthy thing in SM as discussed here: http://en.strikermanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=280847 It's the surest way to survive. Many who run from it end up apologizing to themselves. @s, feel free to edit this post and correct me where necessary. Edited by Ali Agharabi 22-10-2013 17:37	22/10/2013 05:06
