I wa just wondering what you all think of one position training Vs two position training and which is more effective? I notice from the training speed analysis thread that if you train two positions you only add one week on average to the time that players will gain a pop.

Obviously training two positions is a little slower but with it only being about one week slower it seems that the possibility of training six players with two positions rather than three players with one position makes the slightly slower training more worthwhile.

Would like to know as many of your thoughts as possible on this one please.

Scipio.

2 position will make your team better quicker. However, 2 position training is a little slower than 1 position training. So 1 position training is used for creating really good players/national team and U21 players.

Unless you have 3 fantastic prospects (or even 1 very good prospect) that you want to get on to the national team, or unless you are in a high division, you should do 2 position training.

The reason I wouldn't recommend it in a higher division is that it is hard to train 6 rookies and still win games.

Hi. I have a training related doubt, and I don't think it is worth opening a new topic. Does anybody know if the free throw training is influenced by the trainer's level? Thanks in advance.

Free throw training and stamina training and gameshape training is not influenced by trainer level.

Thanks Naker, great reply.

This is my first season and I have been training my centres only so now I`ll switch to two position training because I have a decent young power forward. I have been playing him at centre with two other centres in one position training.

No worries!

Goodluck :)
Once you switch to 2 position you will notice a lot more pops each week (which I love seeing :D).

That's why you don't train 6 (or 5) rookies but maybe a (1) 22 year old, a (2) 21 year old, a (3) 20 year old, a (4) 19 year old, and a (5) rookie 18 year old. This way, you can play the rookie in scrimmage or cup games. Then the next season, the 22 year old can be replaced by a new rookie.

I still think you are better off having 3 18 year old rookies to 1 position train quickly while having high skilled players in all other positions.

Players are still not fully developed by 22 years old and will not be at a high enough level generally for division 1. Especially when you have other 20 year olds and 19 and even 18 year olds.

You're right Naker, they're not fully developed by the time they're 22. But he has a point. 22 and 23 year olds still need training but can already be at a level where they can compete every game (maybe not in div I, but in II), so you can mix the final pieces of training for those 22, 23 y.o. fellas with training for your up and coming rookies.
