Just a quick question for anyone to answer if they can.

Which are the most important non playing staff and which are most useless/not really required?

Have a scout & coach at my L3 side (which I think is good)

At one of my L2 sides I have a Promotions Person and a Groundsman (which I don’t think are worth having)

Anyone care to offer their opinion as I’m debating getting rid of the PRO & GRO double act.

Cheers!

Might leave him on a sponsorship project for a few turns and what happens.

Cheers for the input

Once you buy in your Staff at Auction you'll need to train some of them. These include a Youth Scout, Doctor and Physio. Train all of these to as close to Rate 25 as your patience allows, especially the Youth Scout. (The best way to train Staff is 3 weeks at college, break the cycle by putting him on a task and then repeat. Leave him at college any longer than 3 weeks in a row and he may get fed up and pack his bags!!!!).

A High rate Doctor will prevent injuries but you will need to issue the 'Treat' instruction each week.

A High rate Physio can reduce the number of weeks a player is out injured.

The most important Staff member of all is the Coach! Use him wisely, and always on a hand picked, short list of players that will be future proofed for seasons to come.

A high rated Scout will enable you to see the hidden max potential of any given player.

A Groundsman can help increase your home following and repair your pitch if it's ever required. He's the least important staff member.

Youth Coach can find you new young players. Put a high rate YOU on a task and leave him on that task for as long as it takes to find you a new recruit. Usually 6 or 7 turns approx. Don't break the cycle until he gets a player in!

In summary:

I would say the Coach is by far the most important

Youth Coach is very Important.
Doc and Phy are also very important as they allow you put your best players on the field more often than not.

PRO is handy.

YOU is important for figuring out who to train.

GRO is a bit of a luxury.

Hope some of this helps!

Sorry - typo

SCO is important for figuring out who to train.

YOU is important to bring in young (free) players than can either be sold or trained and kept! These players will of course be eligible for the end of season boost should they get enough appearances.

Can physio's improve the fitness level of players or is giving your players a break the only way to increase this? What opinions do managers have on the importance/effect of fitness? And, if your physio is rated too low to have an effect or physio's can't improve fitness full stop, at what fitness level would you rest a player? I assume that lower fitness levels make injuries more likely?

Hi John. A high rate Physio can reduce the number of weeks a player is out injured eg a player out for two weeks can have this reduced by 1 week by using a Rate 25 Physio on the player.
I don't really use a Physio to increase fitness levels as I normally fill my two spaces with other staff commands so maybe someone else will know. I only use the Physio when a player is out for 2 weeks or more for it to have any effect.
If you rest a player his fitness will increase by 5.
Even if you have two games in the same week the players fitness will increase if he is rested in one of those games as far as my memory serves me. Hope that helps.

Thanks Darren,

After my Physio has been in college 3 weeks I have put them on the squad for a break and not noticed any increase in fitness. I don't know why but I had assumed that they could improve fitness levels.
