Obviously you get a bigger increase every season with the higher trainer but saying that after 5 seasons it would be a 40% increase is incorrect.

After 5 seasons, you have still received an 8% increase total with the higher level of trainer. Perhaps that equals 1 additional pop every season for a total of 5 pops. Again, these aren't exact numbers but they're probably not too far off either.

Yes but after two seasons you will have had a better overall increase because you have spent more time with the trainer who has the 8% increase. You get an average of 8per net increase each season, but the longer you have the trainer the more beneficial he is correct?


You're thinking small here. I want the 8% increase per week, which means 112% increase for a season so I should get twice the pops and rule the world with my octopus squad.

Seriously, though, when are sea creatures going to start showing up on the transfer line?
That would be kind of funny if a player had an octopus or fish face.

an 8% increase after 1 year is still an increase of 8% after 5 years... you can't add it up to a 40% increase


It all depends on terms of measurement.
Your CAGR, or Compound Annual Growth Rate, for those five years would be 8%, but your overall growth for the 5 years would be 46.9%.

The 8% is not at all based on the prior skill level of the player, though, so it wouldn't be compounded.

Ah right, I see where that came from originally.
If a level 5 trainer adds 8% more skill points each year than the lvl 4 trainer, then it's not additive because the level 4 trainer is still adding the 'baseline' increase that the 8% is tacked onto along the way.
When I wrote my first post about the CAGR. I was referring to the increase over the original starting point of the player, not the comparison between the lvl 4 and lvl 5 trainer. Not exactly relevant now that I re-read the posts.

So, for the record: if the difference between the two is 8%, then having a Lvl 5 trainer will net you 8% more skill points than a Lvl 4 trainer would have, all else being equal, for one year or nine billion years.

I actually thought he was joking. Compounding interest has absolutely nothing to do with this situation. It's still only 8% my friend.

Having looked at the stats I would never get anything other then a level 4 trainer. I always have one for less then 20k a week and have a current 21 NT player in his 2nd season in that side.
The difference is so small that the increase in cost seems a waste of money to me. But some want seem to feel its worth spending twice as much for the extra few pops over seasons of training.
