What are these farm teams that people talk in NT forums? How do they function?

I think they just train players. They don't focus on their team record.

Yeah Tmu1988 is right. Farms are teams which devote their time and resources to training NT players. For that reason, if you look at their roster you'll surely find a great player whose salary is very high (more than 100ks, for instance) and the rest of the team being composed of scrub players of 2-3 ks each.

These teams fully devote to their NT player, taking care of his GS and training progress. As a counterpart, they're unable to compete, as far as one single player can not make your team competitive, and are always stucked in lower divisions.

Cheers.
Not disagreeing with you in anyway, however, if a team in the lower divisions has a 100K player, they'll win a lot of games. There are teams that are winning in the lower divisions with a lot less.

But I do get your point and agree with you. I'd be interested in seeing one of these farm teams that's been around for awhile to see what their wins and loses have been over the years.

And I'm guessing that if they're training just for NT, I bet they're training 2 or 3 players at a time. It wouldn't make sense to train one and not two or three when that would be training minutes wasted.

Almost every time I've seen a lower division team invest in one expensive player, they precede to play that player 90-140 minutes a week, watch his gameshape plummet and turn him into one very average player as a result.

So what, you can't give your farm player to your other team, you still will have to outbid everyone else to get the player. So why wouldn't you just get a similar player that someone else has farmed?
I can only see NT managers as an interested party, but hardly anyone else.
Am I missing something?
