Considering trainings in FM 2008, I would mention two different approaches which are most often used by FM gamers.

The first is very simple and standard. Some of the gamers do not spend their time on trainings setup and leave them without any change. This is not bad. I mean, there’s no any bad influence of standard trainings on players of your team. Fitness, mental and technical player abilities are supported equally and enough for getting big wins.

Anyway there is the second approach which could give you much more benefit. It consists in setting up trainings by your own hands. Usually an advanced FM gamer creates several trainings for different pitch positions: goalkeepers, centre defenders, wing backs, defensive midfielders, attacking midfielders, wingers, forwards.

Normally, for goalkeepers the following skills are trained: Goalkeeping on Intensive level, Tactics, Ball Control, Strength, Aerobic on Medium level.
Centre defenders are effectively trained with High setting of Strength, Tactics, Aerobic, Defending and Medium setting of Set Pieces, Ball Control.

Wing back defenders should have High setting of Defending, Tactics, Aerobic and Medium setting of Set Pieces, Ball Control.
For defensive and attacking midfielders I would advice High levels of Ball Control, Tactics. Other skills apart from Goalkeeping must be set with Medium level. Though there is difference between DMs and AMs: set for attacking midfielders High Attacking and for defensive midfielders High Defending. Isn’t it logically?

Winger players must be fast and creative – have a good dribbling, pace, crossing abilities. My recommendation for them: High - Attacking, Tactics, Aerobic and Medium - Strength, Shooting, Ball Control, Set Pieces.

And at least but not last – forwards. There can be different types of them, of course – towering strikers (like John Carew, Didier Drogba, Jan Koller) or fast dribblers (Robinho, Thierry Henry, Wayne Rooney). That’s why it is good to have corresponding types of training. Anyway I usually set only one common training for all forwards: Intensive setting of Shooting, High setting of Attacking and all other skills apart from Goalkeeping and Defending are set as Medium.

And don’t forget to set distinct training programs for player of youth team. I recommend to set the same settings increasing levels of Strength and Aerobic.

What are the important attributes for each position


Goalkeepers - Vital Skills

Positioning, handling, command of area, agility, stamina, jumping, reflex, strength, decisions and aerial ability

Other

Throwing, pace, concentration, composure, bravery and anticipation


Centre backs - Vital Skills

Positioning, jumping, tackling, marking, aggression, strength, bravery and heading

Other Skills

Stamina, anticipation, determination, pace and acceleration

Fullbacks

Choose well, easily the best position to exploit in the game. If you can have the best of both worlds then they could be the diff between winning and losing.

They can be both defensively good and offensively awesome. Pace isn't a crucial factor, but if you want them to be good defenders, then positioning and anticipation may have to be introduced as well.

Vital

Work rate, stamina, teamwork, decisions, positioning and acceleration

Other Skills

Determination, strength, crossing and dribbling


Defensive Midfielder

Holding players who can help draw out the opposition, they can also play deadly killer balls and work very well with AMC based formations.

Vital Stats

Tackling, strength, aggression, marking, stamina, work rate, teamwork and decisions

Others

Pace, passing, acceleration, determination, concentration, creativity


Attacking Mids

Link players with DMs or with regular MCs. If you place FWR often on them they could drift out of position so never do that. Use their strengths. This can be an interesting area, what's listed are bare essentials,but if they have good dribbling skills they can be very deadly too.So adjust their instructions based on what they have..you can use dribbling for long shots as a trade off.

Vital Stats

Decisions, Creativity, passing, off ball, technique, finishing, work rate

Others

Stamina, teamwork, flair, long shots, pace, acceleration


Wingers - Vital Skills
