Develop Your Players

Apart from players of certain Player Types, you can further develop your signed players.
Head over to [My Team] > [Players], and select the player you want to develop.

・ Level Training

"Level Training Programs" can be used to grant your players Experience Points.

・ Player Progression

"Progression Points" will become available once a player levels up and can be used to further develop the player.

・ Skill Training

"Skill Training Programs" can be used to add a maximum of 5 Additional Skills to a player.

・Position Training

Applicable players will have a list of eligible Position Proficiencies for Position Training. Through the use of "Position Training Programs", you will be able increase a player's Position Proficiency for a maximum of 2 positions at random.

・ Legacy Transfer

Convert a player to a Trainer, and the Trainer's Experience Points and Additional Skills can be carried over to another player.

Follow these 2 steps to develop your player.

1. 1) Level up your players by featuring them in matches or using "Level Training Programs" that you have received as event rewards etc.
2. 2) Use the Progression Points you earned from leveling up the player, and develop him via "Player Progression".

〇 What is Player Progression?

This is a function that allows you to develop your players using Progression Points. Your players acquire Progression Points when they level up.
You have two options for allocating the player's Progression Points: "Auto Development" and "Manual Development".

If you choose "Auto Development and the player levels up, his Points will be allocated automatically in a way that will maximize his Overall Rating.

If you want to customize the player's stats to your personal liking, you can allocate the Points manually by choosing "Manual Development".
Note that you can reset a player's Progression Points at any time.
Lastly, if you are in doubt about how to manually allocate your player's Points, you can use the "Recommended" function to allocate them automatically.

〇 Team Playstyle

There are 5 different Team Playstyles that can be configured in [Game Plan] > [Tactics], including "Possession Game" and "Quick Counter". To make the tactics work more effectively for your team, it is best to employ a manager with a higher proficiency for your chosen Team Playstyle.

[Tips] Boosters

Some players will possess a special feature called "Booster". "Boosters" serve to enhance certain Player Stats, allowing you to perform Player Progression on a player and take them beyond the ceiling of 99.
There are some players that have a "Booster Slot" where they can add an extra Booster to their arsenal.

The avant-garde of soccer experience

The Dream Team experience is divided into "Phases".

During each Phase, you will be able to enjoy the latest soccer trend via in-game Events, such as PvP Challenge Events and VS AI Tour Events.
By signing players that are compatible with an Event's theme and adding them to your squad, you will have an advantage in the Event.
Create a unique team for each Event, and feel the excitement that only soccer can offer!
