How do I decide when a player needs training?

Here are a few simple rules I use to decide whether or not a particular player needs training:

• If a player has form below 13 he needs to train. Period.
  
• If a player has form 13 with downward trend, it's a good idea to train him.
  
• If a player has form 14 with steep downward trend (red arrow), train him if he's an important player.
  
• If you have a player has a low average form, train him if he's in you long term plans for the quad.
  
• If a player is retiring at the end of the season and he's not skilled enough to be needed in this season's matches, don't bother with training him.
  

Every Xpert Eleven manager has his own opinion about when to train his players. Some would be more stingy on their training expenditure, so as to save enough for new players whereas some, on the other hand, are more generous, preferring to develop their players' skill through training. It all depends on what you believe to be a better option for your team.

I myself don't always follow these pointers exactly, preferring to relax these rules depending on the team, the stage in the season and the average form of the player concerned (especially if it's the second half of the season).
