My personal though, about 1 and two position training:

One Position is good:
- When you have good trainees, who could stay in the top 2% of his age group because in young years you would get a lot money for those extra pops, who make the difference betwen average and awesome. Also this could help you to lineup a stronger formation in more important games, in the phase of the game, where your rookies are still your main weapon.

- When your team is so strong that rookies would be your weak spot(and buying great players who are still young is more expensiv then a more experienced player at those level who is 3 years older - so that he could participate in the 2 position training you make from time to time)

- When you start playing during the season to play BB, i recommend 1 position training, because it is even hard to get only 3 solid trainees with the money - after the next draft you could decide if you want to have more trainees^^

Two Position training:

- if you have 5/6 young(but don't start wasting training spot with fillers like in the one position training) and "average" trainees, 2 position training makes it easier to compete.

- If you don't like the "let them play" option, for 48 minutes game from your traineess. It isn't that bad if you sacrifice a training spot, for managing minutes.

I don't think that one of them is superior to the other, and done both during my career, even actually i make bg guy training for 2 position and small guy training for one position(i had to "very small" SF as main trainees).

The point that I was illustrating was that the team that came 5th has many players with salaries that you cannot achieve using 2 position training by the time the player is 21 or 22.

Let me put it another way, wouldn't it be better for your team to have 8 older players (24 and older) with skills that are a better than the 21 or 22 year old you would have been training? They would cost less as well.
So you will have 8 older players that are superior in skill to help you win games, and you can focus on training 3 young 18 year olds at a quicker rate.

In your method, you will have 6 older players, and 6 trainees. Those 6 trainees will not be as good as the older players.
So your overall team won't be as good, and your trainees won't be improving that quickly individually.

Thanks to all of you for replying.

This is my first season and I have made it to the final game starting on Tuesday. So, next season I will be in division three. I will train two positions although I probably won`t be able to compete in that league, the other teams will probably be much better than me.

One of the things I love about this game is the willingness of everyone to help one another.

Thanks again and good luck with the future of your teams.

Thanks Manon, much appreciated.

Good luck with your teams future.

which is the training for outside D?

2 position improves your team more

Im essentially saying the financial reward for training right now is as low as its been for a while... so, if we agree there is a premium paid to sign a 18/19yo rookie with 60-70 skill points, I'd rather pay the same amount to pick up a 20/21yo with 85-90 skill points (examples only) even a 22/23yo with 100 points.

On any player with sufficient upside potential up to age 23/24 you should be able to improve to become more valuable with training so from a performance perspective and possibly wage you could let someone else do the work...

MEANWHILE Im not suggesting you sit back and dont train yourself... you should always be looking at ways to train to make money... but when bringing in new players, why bother paying 2mil for a fresh rookie when that 2mil can find you the same rookie +12-15 skill ups at age 20?
