If you want to train all your own players there will come a point where you will prob have to sacrifice a few games to train your guys for the future. I have noticed since I moved to div 3 this year I am making a ton more money than the other people in my league by looking at the average, but that should change because I am losing alot and I dont really have anyone to train atm and it is irritating me. So i either gotta find a player to train or save up cash to buy a good player.

Main thing that I didnt do soon enough was to decide on a training routine and stick with it.

Actually, I started training 18 year olds the season after I promoted to II.1. They did start out as a liability, but my team was still good enough to avoid demotion, and those 18yos are now on their U21s and will soon become my best players.

Also, BC Törööö, 4 time BBB champion, has been training a trio of SFs since the age of 18. They're probably not a long way off from becoming some of the best SFs in the world.

Some teams do buy older trainees to remain competitive, but a fair number of top division teams train players from 18 as well, though I don't know of any that two position train them. It can be a good strategy in the long term, especially if you don't have the kind of money to buy older trainees that have been trained effectively.

I think the teams in the top divisions can afford to have 1 youngster as a trainee. This guy would likely have high potential and would be 1 position trained to make the U21 and possibly the senior NT.

I find it difficult to credit that all the top leagues in the world are so tough that all teams within them can afford to have 1 trainee youngster only.

Shouldn't good trainees already have enough skills to hold their own? Here is my question, do teams in higher leagues get better draft picks, or is the entire pool of draftees of roughly the same caliber? I got 2 pretty decent trainees that aren't doing great, but are performing within acceptable parameters. My 18yo trainee C just go 10 OR in a game.

This is a good question, which begs a further question. We have seen it asserted before that top division teams do not carry many trainees as this would weaken their roster too much. If the trainees are good enough to hold their own, what then is the argument against top division teams training 2 positions?

College teams cannot promote into NBA nor can NBA teams relegate. Obviously this is not the case here.

In any event, I do not understand the point you are making.
