I've got a question, what is better, leave passive training open or closed, what's the difference?

Regards Errol

Many will passionately say, TURN OFF PASSIVE TRAINING, I agree only to a degree.

The gains in Passive Training are nowhere near what will be gained in normal training field training. So to be competitive, you will not gain skill fast at all.

However, there are, in my opinion, advantages.
1. If you are going away and can't get your hands on a holiday ticket, it will at least keep your team trained somewhat. Also, it will update your team page as trained 'Today' so that teams facing you in the PL's are less likely to play their scheduled game against you.
2. The players are only trained in what they need by Passive Training. For example a catcher will not gain any running training (except when they bat), so in that since it doesn't 'waste' TP.

I used to know of a site which had some great tips. I can't find it right now though.

I currently have a team which is purely Passive Trained.
I have been 5* for a long time now, seems like it may not go much past that. It's in the PL's (by playing weak teams) and looks as though they may go winless this season.
558160, check them out.

Hope it helps,
Chris.
