Thanks Naker for the comments, you've been helpful. I've read many of your posts.

I still think 3 position training is interesting when you got like 6-8 players that all need the same stat :) or close to it.

But yeah, I can't imagine it being useful against real competition. Still some training like rebounding can't even get three position anyway so it's use is limited.

I seen someone sporting the idea of an all 18- year old team training. I think its possible in div 5. Especially when you can buy guys with really good stats for 1,000 sometimes. But I think finding the right mix of players would be too hard and therefore impossible to be better then 3-2-1 position training.

Not surprised I got one ball--most of the ideas are lame I'm sure and borderline completely wrong, but what do you expect from a newbie?

I suppose the reason I believe 3 position training isn't the way to go is because it is a little bit too slow, and it requires you to have too many trainees. With 6-8 trainees it really limits how many good players you can have, and makes it hard to win games in higher leagues. If I am playing in div 2 and 3 of the positions are taken up each game by an 18 year old trainee then I am going to lose every game. And with 3 positions it will take a long time to get those trainees up to a level where they are useful.
I haven't used the team training but I still don't think it would be that effective even with all 18 year olds. It would certainly make winning games a lot harder, although I have never tried it so it may be successful. It would certainly be easier in div 5 than higher divisions.

Ignore the 1 ball :)

It seems like in div 5 its almost better to go for a an-all 1000 under 4500 cost team.

you play to the competition level, and use all the other money to build a larger stadium while selling anyone of value.

then i suppose buy out some clear cut starters a couple weeks before the playoffs.

but its certainly not a style of play that is easy.

Have 10 4500 cost players = 45,000 3 staff worth 2,000 =6,000.
Net cash flow around $75,000 for about 7 weeks.
525,000 towards arena. Also add in money that the current players sell for. Buy a couple starters for the playoffs worth 200K each. Seems reasonable in div5. requires much attention though to gameshape and looking for players...but a strategy.

Certainly a valid strategy. Just try and promote to div 4. The competition is much better and so I think you will enjoy the game more. Also, finishing near the bottom in the division above is better than coming first in the current division.

You will need to spend more then $2000 on a trainer. Having at least a level 4 Advanced trainer is vital to your training.
