He's already on the U-21 team and I'm training pressure, passing and 1 v. 1 for the rest of this season. I was just wondering whether to switch to inside training next season or continue on the perimeter.

Well if you are going to give him inside training its better to do it sooner rather then later. First of all because of height factors and secondly you may be less willing to play him out of position the better his guard skills ( and therefore the more important he is to your team as a guard ). Saying that the U21 coach might have a preference for you to continue training guard skills next season so maybe training inside when he is 22 is an option.

I think I'll start off the season with perimeter training and start training inside once I get knocked out of the cup

I have 4 good trainees and looking to add 2 more. From the training simulator program it seems to suggest that 2 position training is ideal since it offers around 2/3 of what a one position training offers.

Anyway I 6-8 to 6-11 trainees. I am currently training them in outside skills, mostly driving and passing. Then I look to do 2 pos training on inside skills. Is there a reason why I wouldn't want to stick with 2 pos training?

Positives: Gets more trainees training and more total training points.
Allows you to sell players you don't think will fit any longer for a profit.

Negatives: takes longer to reach cap.
longer training time means older trainees and slower skill development to starters

I started off with that idea too, but the thing is the rest of my team was developing much quicker than my trainees (I was able to afford better veterans quicker than my trainees got better). If you do 2 position training, you can only train low-medium potential trainees, and they'll never be a key contributor to your team. Why not buy such a player instead?

If you train to sell those players, they won't generate that much money because they'll be relatively old for the skills they have. I think it's better to train better guys quicker, or even the same trainees. For example if you train low potential guys for like 2 seasons 1pos or 3 seasons 3 pos, you can sell 9 19-year-olds after 9 season with 1 position training, or 12 20-year-olds after the same time. That extra year on 9 players is worth more than the 3 extra players I believe.

Anyway, the reason why I train is because well trained players (good secondaries) are very expensive/rare on the market. The difference between a well trained player and one without secondaries isn't that bad for lower potential guys, but as you get higher salaries you want more skills for it because you're paying a hefty sum and then you don't want limited players. If you train low potential guys (or 2 position training), you'll never have use of them because you can buy better players by the time you're trainees are done.

Training two positions can work quite well with lower potential players to help get a core of players to get you through the lower leagues and who can contribute in the middle tier leagues. You wouldn't want to do that with trainees with fairly high potential and you definitely don't want to spend a lot of money on trainees if you're going to "slowtrain" them. It's not a training strategy that's highly profitable and you're not going to be able to create top end talent that way, but it's a decent way to get a group of bigs (or guards) that you can use for a while and then transition into one position training and higher quality trainees.

I think I am going to work on one position training until they get a bit older. My main trainees (all drafted) are 18/19/20. My 18 yr old is a 6-11 superstar PG! He has 8 OD, and since OD trains the slowest, I think I will stick with that training until its up to 15. That will probably take them to the end of season 24.

However, since they are my draftees I don't want to cap them too early. That way when I get to higher divisions and need the salary efficiency, I can continue to train them. But since OD is such a pain to train I might as well get it out of the way before I get anymore good draftees.

Anyway thanks for the advice.

Could I have some thoughts and suggestions on my guy?
