I might be looking too much into this but I was just wondering if there was a correlation between certain stats, including hidden (I have Genie Scout* so I can see these), and how much a player is willing to work in training.
I've got Josh Brownhill who's been complaining about extra role training focus (Roaming Playmaker in this case). So I looked at two other players who had a similar training schedule as Josh - Marcos Lopes and Jeremie Boga. At first I thought work rate (high work rate= harder worker?) and determination (higher determination = more determined to improve?) were deciding factors. Here's who they stack up:
Brownhill: Det - 10 WR -12
Boga: Det - 8 WR - 9
Lopes: Det - 10 WR -10
At first glance, work rate and determination have little-no affect.
Moving on to physical stats, I looked at natural fitness and stamina (poor stamina/nat fitness = can't train as hard?).
Brownhill: Stam - 10 NF - 13
Boga: Stam - 14 NF - 13
Lopes: Stam - 13 NF 17
The evidence here isn't really that conclusive, but there is a possibility that if that the right combination of nat fitness and stamina will influence a players hardness of training. Maybe if the average of both nat fitness and stamina is above a certain number?
Looking at the possible hidden stats that potentially influence player 'hardness of training' I looked at Versatility (new roles require more versatility?) and in personality* I looked at Professionalism (true professionals try hardest in training?).
Brownhill: Vers - 10 Prof - 11
Boga: Vers - 12 Prof - 14
Lopes: Vers - 9 Prof - 7
At first the results don't really provide much evidence. It is important to say Lopes' focus is on his best tactical role. Boga and Brownhill are not. Boga has higher vers and is happy.
Looking at other players in my team of around the same workload who are happy Brownhill does have the lowest average combo of NF and Stamina at 11.5. The next lowest is Sean Murray - Det 12, WR 12, NF 12, Stam 13, Vers 5, Prof 7 focus is best role also - at 12.5 who is pleased. This seems to be the strongest evidence so far.
Anyway, I thought it was and interesting idea so I'd thought I'd share it. I could be on to something, it may not be these attributes but possibly others - it may be a combination or it could be randomly generated and I could just be insane.
I'd be interested to know what you guys think. Do 'less fit' players have a harder time with additional focuses and/or do 'less versatile' players have trouble adapting to unfamiliar tactical roles (e.g. converting a CM into a AP)?
Cheers,
James
