Thanks Naker, great reply.

This is my first season and I have been training my centres only so now I`ll switch to two position training because I have a decent young power forward. I have been playing him at centre with two other centres in one position training.

No worries!

Goodluck :)
Once you switch to 2 position you will notice a lot more pops each week (which I love seeing :D).

The reason I wouldn't recommend it in a higher division is that it is hard to train 6 rookies and still win games.


That's why you don't train 6 (or 5) rookies but maybe a (1) 22 year old, a (2) 21 year old, a (3) 20 year old, a (4) 19 year old, and a (5) rookie 18 year old. This way, you can play the rookie in scrimmage or cup games. Then the next season, the 22 year old can be replaced by a new rookie.

I still think you are better off having 3 18 year old rookies to 1 position train quickly while having high skilled players in all other positions.

Players are still not fully developed by 22 years old and will not be at a high enough level generally for division 1. Especially when you have other 20 year olds and 19 and even 18 year olds.

You're right Naker, they're not fully developed by the time they're 22. But he has a point. 22 and 23 year olds still need training but can already be at a level where they can compete every game (maybe not in div I, but in II), so you can mix the final pieces of training for those 22, 23 y.o. fellas with training for your up and coming rookies.

Perhaps in div 2, but in div 1 the team would get slaughtered.

Who said they won't be fully developed 22 year olds? What I'm illustrating here is a cycle of trainees that go round and round each season. The older one gets replaced by an 18 year old. They may not be necessarily those ages.

For a 22 year old to be a good player in div 1 he must have been 1 position trained. If he was 2 position trained then his skills won't be high enough. So by training 5 or 6 young players, you are creating decent players, but not good enough for div 1, and also it will take a lot longer to get to a level where you can use them properly. 2 position training in div 1 means that 2 positions will be occupied each game by a young rookie that will be slaughtered.

Ok then, give me a player that you think will be a decent player in Div 1. Note, I said decent. I'm not talking about your main player.

Also give me what you consider as skills that are "high enough."

Depends on the country.
Lets consider the US.
I would say that all starters should have a minimum of 40k salary.

If 40k is your goal I think it's doable in 2-position training. As a disclaimer, I've only played 4 full seasons so I haven't actually done it. Based on the 'training speed analysis thread' though, it's very possible to have a 22 y/o with 40k salary focusing mainly on OD, PA, and JS.
