Hi everyone,
I am relatively new to the game. So far I trained some PG and SG, which I sold this season.
Now I would like to reboot my team and build a squad starting from 18YO with high potential. My budget is 14KK.
Can you give me advices on what type trainees should I buy? I was thinking to train 6 players with MVP potential or above.
Also what about the trainer? So far I used the advanced one, but perhaps I need an upgrade.
In regard to skills, what should I prioritise?
Thanks ,

First of all, you can't train 6 players at full efficiency.

Getting 4 would be optimum at best, but that's also only for phase 1 where you do One on One forwards. After that 3 is the max, and 2 is optimum. Meaning you sell off the other 2 players.

For trainer, you would at least need a level 5 or 6 one. Don't go for high salary ones unless you have a lot of money in the bank to cushion your salary. My crazy hypothesis is that if you get a level 7 trainer who's salary is almost 100k for the price of 1k, it would take 9 weeks of training before breaking even with a low salary level 7 trainer (iirc they usually cost 1m+?). Not a long term solution tho.

As for training, if it's guards, I always start with One on One forwards, until DR and HA reaches 12, then proceed with OD til 12, and then PA or JS/JR depending on what I'm building.

Always go for single position training.

Gonna go ahead and disagree on the L5 trainer, I would say an L5 is best for teams that can afford it. The difference before L4 and L5 is fairly slim and insignificant unless you are training a U21 or NT level player. And the cost difference between an L4 and L5 is quite large.

Thank you very much for the help.
What I do not understand is why can't I train 6 players.
In the past seasons I have been training SG and PG.
I had three different combination and each player was playing 48 minutes a week. Maybe I am missing something
I would like to restard training a SF, a PF and a Center.
Do you think it would be possible to train these three roles together?
Thanks again!

In theory, you can train 6 players for 2-position training.
But you should always consider the injuries (only minimal) and foul-outs (this one is a major factor). So, the safest bet is just 4 trainees for 2-position training.

About the 3-position training (C/PF/SF), though it's available, I recommend not doing it because it trains the slowest. Just stick with your 2-position training, heck even better if you do 1-position as mentioned in one of the replies above.

I've been trying 6 players training this season and I have to say - stick with 4/5. Random subs and foulouts at the end of the game ruins the trainings. My drafted 18yo got 3 skill pops in almost full season because of this..

I believe you, even though for a couple of seasons I did train 6 players consistebtly. When I started playing this game I was advided to select only 7 players for match day and tell the coach to strictly adhere to the deep chart. Never one of my trainees was substituted even though I remembered they fouled out a couple of times. One good thing of playing in III Australian league is that there are many BOTS and weak players do not commit mant dauls.

Anyway, I would like to train a center, a power forward and a small forward and keep them for a long time. What are the skills that in your opinion I should focus on? I guess inside defence, outside defence, rebounding, block shots and inside shots. What would you suggest?

7 players.... so, how's the "Game Shape" of all your non-trainees? :)

Anyways, I think even if I say that 3-position training isn't recommended because of very slow training rate, you'd still insist on doing it, am I right?

And since you can "consistently" train 6 players for 2-pos training, are you planning on training 9 players for the 3-pos training?
