Training Question

[The Phantom Ram]

Hello, hope someone can help me.

I am playing with England but not picking any existing players. This means I have a lot of youngsters playing. Am I better off, long term, training them with technique or practice?

Technique training. Start with general technique training at the beginning. Practice is just generally for short-term form.

That's the age old question... techinque will improve the players' abilitys in the long term, but in my experience, they often play terribly in the short term, meaning you'll probably lose 9 times out of 10. My suggestion would be to put players who are 3*+ in form on technique, with the rest on nets. That should help you get both short and long term success.
