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.

Seems like 2-position training would work in higher leagues if you only brought in 1-3 new trainees in each season as opposed to for both positions. So one of the 2 spots would be for your older trainees who can compete in the league, and the other one could be reserved for the new trainee, thus creating a team almost as competitive as a single position training team...

Lower down teams do not always train for the top teams, they develop many trainees for themselves and take those trainees to the top with them. That is why talking about promotion is relevant to your argument, and where there is promotion there is also relegation.

Also, College teams cannot keep their players for the lifetimes of their careers, after their college days are over the player must move on. So you cannot equate lower division teams with college teams.

Top teams may also develop their own players from scratch just as lower teams do.

And I'll just reiterate I still don't understand why you made that (incorrect) point in the first place. So maybe you can tell me why (the hell) you raised it in a debate over the pros and cons of one or two position training.
