and you don't run the risk to overtrain them, since you had to sell them with 20 or earlier to make good profits. I see so often well trained player, who are sold with 21/22 for the same price there are instantly bought.

But if you look at the net earning you made on most of those players, you got ~500-600K. Not terribly different than what hrudey got. Plus, you have to factor in that over the course of time that you had these guys, I would suspect that on average they had the same, or higher, salary as the Tuozzi guy had. So overall your net earnings were probably a bit lower.

So yeah, training higher potential guys probably can earn you more money than training star and all star, but it's not as clear cut as you make it out to be.



I imagine that training the higher end players is more profitable than training guys like Tuozzi. But I felt like rather than paying some couple of hundred thousand dollars for a trainee, I could spend much less and put those hundreds of thousands into the arena instead. I've never heard of anyone bemoaning having too large an arena (other than ones with too much bleachers over 20k).

Remember, it's not the size of ones arena that matters, but how you use it! :-)

Spoken with the wisdom and experience of a guy whose size leads to him relying on Motion. ;)

You win. Star potential is too low to have a truly effective inside box and one.

What happens to trainees that people sell is completely irrelevant in this discussion. The question you led us to is whether you need high potential to make good money. So what happens after the sale doesn't matter at all.

And as far as secondaries, they don't add so much to the cap, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about in that case. You can train secondaries and primaries as well.

I acknowledge that training higher potential guys will probably end up getting you a bit more overall return, but if you account for the all the costs, training lower potential guys can give a good return.
