That is valid in the context of general training, but if you train for NT or especially home-grown then you can't really choose your player's level of RB, can you?

And also - why is SB bad for guards?

Haha yeah, Joe, that I certainly agree on.

In regard to starting skill, however, I'd strongly argue that high SB is a definite pro for guards. Besides if the old theory that cross-pops tend to go predominantly into lower skills is correct, that means less of them will be wasted on SB.

Yep, about 1.5-2 CP per season, per player in the early stages for me too. Sounds about right.

3 of them in SB/RB

Out of the total number of cross-pops or per player?

Which makes me think, the Gym really is useless? I mean if you're an older team or you have tanked some seasons on hardcore then yeah it MAY be worth it, but

1M initial investment + 15k each week for 6 season equals
1M initial investment + 1,35M weekly maintenance for 6 seasons equals
2,35M invested for 8 pops each player in 6 seasons, that's paying 261.1k for each crosstraining pop for your utopian team
Of course if it's 2 players a season you halve the cost to 130.5k each pop, which is still a lot of money

for your greek team
1M initial investment + 15k each week for 4 seasons equals
1M + 900k = 1,9M
1,9M invested for 9 pops equals 211.k for each crosstraining pop in an individual player
105.5k for each crosstraining pop in 2 players

Which to me is still a lot of money just for SB/RB pops...

Question : Why not buy a player with a decent level let's say mediocre in RB or SB and then just spend 8 weeks from 18y to 21y on these skills to achieve the same effect?
With how trainers are nowadays you will still be able to finish this player training until 28y/29y and you'll have an extra 2M+ to invest in many more important things
