Time and training minutes that you are going to use regardless.

Its not like:
18 year old + trainer + time + money
vs.
19 year old & everything is hunky dory

Might as well train the better future player.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

you are missing my point.

One last try with an extreme example.

If it wouldn't matter at all (trainingtime) then a 10 yr old all atrocious player with high potential would be best according to what you just said. After all he has a lot of years to train.

But the trainingtime you have to put in him to get him at that age where he is a great player for his age is still valuable.

I see that part of it in an extreme case. Getting 12 to 16 skill points during that first season changes things on a more typical player. I would think that almost every new player has thoughts about getting to DII or DI. Your best bet would be with an 18 yr old superstar or better.

It really comes down to what your team needs. You dont need or want 8 200k players in your side.

So getting a 19 year old you can train to a solid level can still be very useful even in top levels. But if you are chasing you franchise player to take you all the way then a 18 year old is a better option.
I have no issue with getting a 19 year old for a couple of reasons.
1. Most teams don't interview them so put them at bottom of list so more likely to get them.
2. A 19 year old 5 ball is still likely to finish with higher skills then a 18 year old 4 baller. One will hit a wall with age and one with potential.
3. Being 19 means they are no chance of the junior NT so you train them as it suits your team and plans which can make it easier. Not that I have a problem with that it can just make it easier.

I have found 3 lots of 5/5 guys in my draft but not all are 18. Will be happy with either of them. Would prefer one over the others but in the end a 5/5 19 year old suits me better then a 5/4 18 year old. Superstar would be ok but if they are Prem Allstar I can't get them to the level I want/need.

You mean one last try with an impossible example.

There are no 10 year olds and nobody is interested in a 1 ball draft player.

Sounds like a 5/5 19 years old is better than a 5/4 18 years old ...

BTW, can anyone have a clue how to identify a 4-star potential will be likely a superstar?

a 4 star can be anywhere from low Prem all Star to high Super star. No way to tell at ALL.
Which is why a 55 19 year old is better. as a low MVP will end up better long term for sure. Wil just train a little slower.

A lot depends on luck. Last draft I picked 5/5 18 yo and he ended up being MVP with 48 tsp. One of the polish managers picked up 5/5 19yo and he had 72 tsp and if I remember correctly hof potential. So in that case it was definitely worth taking older player, and because this draft is supposed to be better there is a good chance that 5 star 19 yo player will have close to 70 tsp.
