level 4 trainer if you are training a player

Why can't you still learn how to train with a level 1 trainer?

I think people have this preconceived notion that a level 4 trainer is going to train players twice as fast as a level 1 when the difference is actually only 24%. So if you get 12 pops over the course of a season from your level 4 you'll get about 9 pops with a level 1. Even with a low level trainer, the player being trained would have to have fairly high potential (superstar +) to not cap out if you start early enough.

In this case, the person I gave the advice too doesn't have anyone on his roster that would require a high level trainer. Heck, one could still get a level 3 trainer for under $10,000 a week with minimal effort.

?? So you don't consider 12 additional skill pops by age 22 significant? We can debate if it is worth investing the extra $9,000 per week for a level 4 vs level 1 trainer. Maybe it's not worth it to stretch out the training time an extra season or two.

Sure it's significant, assuming that you have a player that's worth training and you plan to train him for multiple seasons instead of just getting a few pops and then trying to sell him at a profit. But if you're training a star or all-star level player I think you're going to cap the guy our so quickly that it won't make a huge difference if it takes one extra season plus it's possible that you haven't created a very profitable player anyways.

It also has to do with what you can afford. Heck, I'd love to own a level 7 trainer if I could afford to both buy one and pay his weekly salary but I decided that wasn't going to be a worthwhile investment in my current situation. Level 4 is affordable for most divisions if you keep flipping your trainer every 15-18 weeks but for the guy I was initally responding too, I would go with a level 1 trainer and start building up my arena with the savings.
