Probably some of the top teams maybe. Don't know. But the top teams could certainly make a LOT more use out of him than a team in div 5. A team in div 5 will probably afford him up to 25k salary and then would have to sell him. Might as well sell him now while he is worth a lot more to teams in higher divisions, and buy a similar trainee with allstar potential which you can train.

Naker your right a D5 team could prob afford him up to a max of 25k. Beyond that I feel your opinion is way off. It will take about 2-3 seasons of single position training for him to get to that salary. With that he should easily advance to D IV possibly D III.

If the player is going to be properly trained somewhat around what Sherlock said (I would go 8-10 Weeks OD, The rest JS/JR, NEVER 1v1 as an 18y/o), then it is by far more beneficial for the team to keep him. Remember we are in a long term game that couple million wont be as beneficial to him as what this HoF can turn into.

And why can't he buy a player off the transfer list that has the same skills (or very similar) but with a lower potential (allstar potential is ideal as it is cheap and still way higher salary cap than he can afford)? You are not making any sense to me. You are saying to keep him and train him up right? But why not sell him for a few million, buy a different trainee that you can give the EXACT same training to. The only difference is that you will have a few million spare dollars. This money can be used to expand your arena, or buy 3 or 4 older guys that will virtually gaurantee promotion from div 5.

There is no reason why he can't just train a cheaper trainee just as effectively using the training plan suggested.

Moving from DV to DIV is cake he doesnt need to buy new players to do so. By just training this trainee he will be able to move up.

Why should he downgrade the guys potential when in 3-4 seasons he will be approaching his cap and then need to dish out money to get a new trainee when if he stuck with his original he could keep training him forever? The guy he has is one he can build his team around, by selling the player he is sacrificing his long term good for short term profit.
