I've been a bit lax putting new posts up recently, but I'd much prefer to find topics that are worth talking about than posting for the sake of it. Anyhow, in this post I'd like to discuss training, and why form gains are not the be all and end all.
I remember of something a friend of mine told me:
Swiss cheese has holes.
The more holes you have, the less cheese you have.
The more cheese you have, the more holes you have.
Therefore, the more cheese you have, the less cheese you have.
In a similar sense, a big form increase from training after a severe drop in form is not necessarily the result you want, and you'd actually prefer to receive a smaller form increase. The rules state that "...if the effect (of form training on form) is small it is likely the player had a negative hidden form tendency which became positive by the form training." Correcting a hidden form tendency with a smaller form boost will have a much better effect on a player's form than just a large form boost that can be cancelled out at the next match.
From my own personal experience, I'm often sceptical when a player gains more than 10% form gain (that is, 10% of 20-form, as that is how training results are calculated), which will be reflected as an upwards and not diagonal green arrow. That would mean a player gaining more than a whole bar on 10 form, or more than 0.5 bars at 15 form for example, may have a negative hidden FT still and may need to go straight back into training immediately.
