Your "recap" of Yoav's actions are just your own interpretation made to fit your outrages claims from before, so I'd like to do a recap of my own.

You made 2 statements in your first comment:
1. "Monoskilled players do not sell well on the market"
2. "Nobody will train a 100k+ salary monoskilled player out of position"

Actually there was a third false statement about managers in Israel recommending having 6/7 trainers plus facilities, not only is that ridiculous because you don't need facilities or high level trainers for a monoskilled player, but Alon also clarified that wasn't case yet you still insist on having them as part of your "calculation" of how much it costs to train in your latest comment. whatever, on to the main dish.

Yoav pretty much destroyed both of these statements, but let's go back a bit before that. First, Alon showed you that monoskilled players do sell well, he provided one example which you dismissed as some kind of conspiracy because he was bought by an Israeli team, but when Yoav showed you one of his players was sold (for even more money) to a team in Macau and told you that the Israeli player had a bidding war over him you make up an even crazier conspiracy about Israeli team inflating the price, needless to say, backed up by zero evidence. And the player sold to Macau? Not even mentioned by you, probably because it doesn't fit with your conspiracy. No matter how to try and spin it, your statement about monoskilled players not selling well was just wrong.

Next, Yoav showed that you can train a high salary player out of position and still be competitive, but that doesn't fit your way of running a team in BB, because it's not as efficient. I mean, if you want to play the most efficient game, why not sell your entire team, buy a cheap lvl 4 coach, train a bunch of cheap trainees, sell them after 4-5 season and repeat for about 4 cycles until you have insane amounts of money, then just buy the best players, have a crazy payroll and start winning titles? probably because that would make the game boring as hell. well, some people like to see their NT/U21 (or their players in the NT) succeed just as much as their own team. I know our community is like that, maybe the English community is different and people only care about their own team. "To each their own, I guess".

You repeat all the same time after time to make youself seem smart and can't even think of the possibility that you are wrong, while actually you are (I'm also involved in our community and know what's going on there). This is a well-known sympthom, called overconfidence, which can lead to pure trolling.

but Alon also clarified that wasn't case yet you still insist on having them as part of your "calculation" of how much it costs to train in your latest comment.

I assumed a lvl 4/5 trainer. lvl 6 par is like around 80k per week including initial fee. We can agree 163k+17k=180k and 17k is entirely reasonable as the average cost for a lvl 4 trainer. Math.

And the player sold to Macau?

No matter how to try and spin it, your statement about monoskilled players not selling well was just wrong.

Macau is a micronation with 2 users and the player was on the NT at 22 when he was sold. The amount of merch that player is guaranteed to bring in means that his 150k is really not 150k. Do you think it's fair to use a guy with 10-12 seasons of guaranteed NT starts as the par value of such players? The player was also sold a couple of seasons ago and he was clearly born with 7 PA and solid 6/7 OD. As I said I don't go around saying that I've seen a $13-14m sales (which I did) from seasons ago and claiming that's the value of an equivalent player player: if you do you are misleading people

The Hungarian 22yo 7'0'' HoF player is selling tonight. Viewed by 17 people, $2.75m asking price. That guy also received only primary training. He is as good an example as any. This is also exactly the kind of player your U21 manager has repeatedly said should be trained this way due to poor secondaries.

Does he look like a fair example? I say he won't sell.

Next, Yoav showed that you can train a high salary player out of position and still be competitive, but that doesn't fit your way of running a team in BB, because it's not as efficient.

I trained not 1, but 3 players per week and 400k salary out of position in the EBBL for a large portion of the season trying to get extra pops for the NT. All the while I was piloting towards the #2 pick (which got me a 57 TSP HoF), thinking I could also win the relegation series (which I didn't due to injuries, not having HCA, fouling and a strong opponent who deserved). I contend it's not the same as training the wrong way, but your point is really laughable nonetheless.

Also I use my Utopia team as a training platform for my nation. It's a farm and it's my personal contribution to the whole game and my nation by preventing mediocre foreign users from ruining our NT material with stupid ideas like training primaries only and ending up with a worse final product.

train a bunch of cheap trainees, sell them after 4-5 season and repeat for about 4 cycles until you have insane amounts of money

I sold a level 8 potential for $5.6m (and had other 2 who were about the same level). I never trained fewer that 3 players, ever, on any team. So you're really barking at the wrong tree. And the best way to make money from training is to train multiskilled salary controlled players, not expensive players with poor secondaries. Also because users have shown this is the way you win and remain competitive at the top level (B3) and at any level

that's because I'm not wrong. There are literally only 6 or 7 Israeli managers trying to defend farm systems and inefficient training in this thread (which also laughably upvote each other lol). I mean we get it, you group needs a farm system and to scam and swindle new users to make it all work and compete with Italy and Spain at the U21 level. It is actually quite sad, considering new managers deserve to be given honest and unbiased advice on how to succeed by more experienced managers.

, which can lead to pure trolling.

Again: community>report is your friend. Sorry you feel this way, see if that helps making you feel better for being on the wrong side of an unwinnable argument with a number of bad to terrible takes.

Will update when the Hungarian goes unsold, and hopefully gets relisted for $1, so that we see where the real value is and we disprove once and for all the only vaguely valid point you guys may have to support the shenanigans you pulled here.

Spreading the same bullshit over and over again doesn't make you right. Well, I'm done with this pointless conversation.

You saying that my arguments which have context and examples are bullshit just exposes you for the frauds you are. And when even the last line of defense will fall (i.e. that these players sell for millions) everyone will know you are exactly that.

And this conversation is actually VERY useful to protect unsuspecting new users from unscrupulous managers and communities that may try to convince them to do subpar training or carry huge salaries against their interest.

You've got all the arguments from our users. Well, from now on you'll stay here alone with your VERY useful self-conversation , I guess

So you specifically left out the part where I wrote "Actually there was a third false statement about managers in Israel recommending having 6/7 trainers plus facilities" So it would fit your delusional argument better? That's pathetic. If you need another reason why your calculation is wrong here it is, no 18-19 year has a 100k salary, that's pretty obvious, but if your trainee is over 19 you won't have a youth trainer. Your "calculation" has both a youth trainer and a 100k salary. Logic.
I won't reply to your rant about training because you disregarded the main issue and dove into my examples like they were the subject here, also I don't appreciate you replying only to what you (think you) can answer and ignoring what you clearly can't.

I've been active on the forums since around season 23. You give some very good insight on various topics and generally I view you as a very credible source when it comes to BB information. With that being said, I think this conversation has gotten out of handed I don't agree with you on this one.

Mono-skilled players don't mean subpar training when it comes to U21 NT. I won four gold medals for the USA U21 NT from seasons 26-29 and the training process looks entirely different for U21 than it does for NT or even a regular team on BB. The USA has also had numerous players throughout my tenure who were basically only trained in primary skills and still went on to play games for our NT down the line.

True, it's only 107k salary at 21yo, 35k par value (could be more actually) for the trainer and 15k for the facilities. I refuse to believe anyone would train without the extra crosstraining pops, that would be really really bad especially for farms, who will use those facilities forever. That's 157k/week and 157*14=$2.2m. I guess those 300k/season change everything and make it economically viable.

I assume you accept that the other dude training the 24yo is paying 180k minimum.

Nobody ever mentioned lvl 7 trainers, but as for the advice you like to give new Israeli managers you seem to make other stuff up.

Now you 7 brilliant minds of BB: you pay 2.2m in ONE season and you won't sell such a player for 2.5m as demonstrated by 2 of the 3 players I mentioned above going unsold. The last is up for 2m and has no bids, so not even that will do. As suspected, it seems even the last piece of misinformation you have been spreading is getting exposed.

I have a suggestion: keep posting in that weird language of yours, maybe nobody will be able to tell what's true and what's logical if you do that.

That's all true if you ignore the fact that the first couple of seasons the salary would be waaaayyyy lower. so the calculation for the first season would (4k salary + 35k par+20k yt)*12, that's around 700k and the next 2 season would be closer to that than your calculation which is only true for the 4th season of training. pair that with 2 more trainers and you can make a nice profit. Is it the best you can do? no. But like I wrote before it's about the having fun and some people enjoy training U21 players.

Edit: forgot to mention, Alon specifically said there were no cross training facilities, so what you believe doesn't matter, there's just the truth.
