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%.


You got me. ;)

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

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.

I just want to add, that you don't actually get more. You get it faster. Potentials still cap at the same point, so you don't get a better player, you get a player to the peak slightly faster. Is speed worth it, should be the real question.

According to the training speed analysis data it shows these as effects of trainers level 4 to 7 for 18 to 25 year olds


Level 4 - 99.5
Level 5 - 100
Level 6 - 103.2
Level 7 108

All as a % of relative training.

So is these which are taken from 1,000s of weeks training are true then the difference of level 4 to 5 is almost impossible to see.
