Following this path to train primary skills first - is one sacrificing some of the secondary skills?

Say my C (224 CM) - if I train his inside first and then move to fill the gaps in the secondaries - I am losing roughly 20-40% efficiency in training. Looking to the training simulator (the US-offsite one), efficiency is at 80% at age 22 and the outside skills are penalized heavily by his length.

Playing around with the training speeds using the US offsite coefficients (assuming everything being equal and no elastic effects) makes me worried that one loses all possibility of training secondaries after 20 here. The image shows the number of weeks it would take for my player to pop using the best option for training:

I mean - training OD (considered a key skill) after 21 means adding 2 weeks of training to reach one pop....

Hrm I do see your overall point but I am still skeptical about some aspects. Lots to think about and test out ! Thanks for the great insider info!

If you keep the OD too low (<6-7) - all players will be burn you as the game tactic will adjust to take advantage of the mismatch so it should be worth to ensure that the opponent has to play a balanced games rather than just abusing your main weaknesses.

If waiting until the later years to plug the secondary holes then one must sacrifice game shape as you'd want to play the player in his natural position for the key game and then play him again out of position to train him. This feels like a poor strategy (especially with the new changes).

I still feel that one would maximize the utility of a high potential player by first creating an all-around base and then playing him in position as to get pops for his primaries. You'd reach high levels during his prime and be able to maximize both use and cost.

Both these guys are trained with a lvl 7 coach and will be trained towards NT. Atm they are trained in JR together with a U21 player in my team. Tips on how to proceed the training will be apprechiated
