Training rookies just for profit doesn't get you nowhere competitively in that time. You will have more money after you sell him yes, but in the meantim your team didn't improve.

I don't know if you are doing 1 or 2 position training, but my view on how to make bucks via training is this: I'm doing 1 position training, but every now and then I have to train something on 2 position (JS, RB or 1 on 1). So I plan training in such a way that I will be training 2 position for a lot of weeks straight. For example: buy three trainees that you are going to keep and give them only 1 position traning. Then for next season, do the 2 position training (JS, RB or 1 on 1) alongside three new trainees you bought specifically for this. After the season of 2 position training, your three trainees have improved and you sold other three trainees for big bucks.

Well I completly disagree with you so we will have to agree to disagree. This is not how I train my players (I always start with OD), not how I run my team and not what I would do myself, but it is a proven formula for making big money if you are in an easy league. If you think people look at a 6'1" 19 year old MVP with tremendous jump shot and think "hmm too one dimensionally trained I'll keep looking" then good on you. I think most trainers would be really excited and slam down up to a million dollars.

I guess it is just lucky for managers that train players that this "decreasing number of increasingly demented and delusional managers" is really rich with unlimited funds and seem to always be bidding 24/7 so that every single player trained like this goes for a massive price.

So I guess you win the championship every season, wow you are amazing. Most people aren't as good as you and can see when there is a season that they can't win and instead spend it in training young prospects that will be world class players one day. I guess if you think making millions of profit while creating the future stars of your team is a waste of a season then you are right and I do not know anything.

I can only find one example of a decent 19 year old with sensational + JS on the TL right now.

Transfer 4/23/2011 16 Purchased from knight321 for $ 351 200
Currently for sale for $1,200,000.

There are some others not as good for sale as well, mostly also around the $1,000,000 mark. Don't forget you will be training six of these players, keeping the best three and selling the worst three, that is the model, but I guess you think making a million dollars or two in a season from training while making your own furure stars great is a bad idea. You are probably right.

And I am also sure that you are right that all the managers paying up to $1,700,000 for these club footed losers are really stupid. Sure.

That's smart.
