Best Training Plans in EA FC 25 Career Mode: How to Manage Sharpness & Fitness

Want to boost sharpness and keep your squad fit in EA FC 25 Career Mode? Here’s how to set up the best automated training plans to balance both—plus tips for top performance.
Mastering Training Plans in EA FC 25 Career Mode
One of the most rewarding parts of any Manager Career save in EA FC 25 is building your dream team—signing wonderkids, shaping the squad, and crafting your tactical vision. But once the transfer window shuts, the real grind begins: managing your players to keep them sharp, fit, and performing at their best.
That means setting up the right training plans to balance sharpness and stamina throughout a long season. Here’s everything you need to know to stay on top of it.

🔧 Best Training Plans in EA FC 25
The two most effective plans in the game are:
- All Out Performance – boosts sharpness
- All Out Energy – restores fitness
But with the Automated Plan feature in FC 25, you don’t have to pick one or the other. You can set thresholds to switch automatically between the two depending on your players’ needs:
- All Out Performance: Trigger when sharpness drops below 70
- All Out Energy: Trigger when fitness drops below 80
Once these thresholds are in place, the game will automatically shift each player’s training focus based on how they’re trending throughout the season. That means less micromanaging and more time doing what matters—winning games and developing talent.
⚖️ Customizing Plans for Specific Players
While automation works wonders for most of the squad, some players—especially veterans or injury-prone players—might need a bit of extra attention.
If you notice certain players struggling to maintain sharpness or recover fitness, it’s worth assigning them a tailor-made training plan. Your backup striker or aging midfielder might need something a bit more specialized to stay effective.
Also, consider your match schedule:
- Competing in multiple competitions? Focus on fitness (All Out Energy). Your sharpness will stay high from regular rotation.
- Out of cups and only playing league matches? Emphasize sharpness (All Out Performance), since players won’t get as many minutes.

🔼 How to Increase Sharpness
To boost sharpness, assign players to:
- All Out Performance
- Performance-focused
Sharp players gain slight stat boosts in matches, so it’s great for squad players who don’t start every week. The only trade-off is a drop in fitness, but if they’re not playing much, that’s no big deal.
🔋 How to Increase Fitness
To restore stamina and keep your starting XI fresh, go with:
- All Out Energy
- Energy-focused
This is perfect for players who are playing full matches week in, week out. If they’re already sharp from game time, you just need to make sure they can last the full 90 without burning out.
Final Tips
- Use Automation for general squad management. It works great and saves you time.
- Customize for veterans or injury-prone players when needed.
- Match your training focus to your fixture load—stamina for a packed calendar, sharpness when playing less.
With the right setup, you’ll be able to get the most out of every player and breeze through your season with a squad that’s always match-ready.
