he cost me 48k a week but im still getting 59k a week in income atm so its not a problem

48k is way too much. it will increase something like 2k a week and make it hard for you to save and improve other players and the arena.

id say its decent for a lvl 6 and he'll be fine this season as he still have 40-60k a week income throughout the season and this way he can get a good training season and catch up on missing out on the 1st season training a lil before getting a cheaper lvl 4\5 and to be honest his 6 is cheap mine is 69k a week and it increase by about 1.8k a week i think.

The difference between a 4 and 6 level trainer is only about 2-3 pop's a season, the 3 pop's or so are not worth the 700k+ in salary's he will pay for a season. With the money saved he can buy a lot better players to go with his trainee.

And 40k-60k is not that much.

I agree. You don't need big salaries to get through Div IV (or even III, although you need to be a good strategist to get through III without substantially increasing your salaries), and you should be saving as much of your cash as you possibly can. That trainer will be up in the high 50Ks by the end of the season, and that's for only a couple more pops. At this point, it's not worth it - it's only once you start getting up to II and ABBL that those extra pops start meaning anything.

I wouldnt like the high salary trainer but its not only 2-3 pop between level 6 and level 4. its so much more, it trains the secondaries so much more... they will start stacking up and then finally pop around later ages provided if you train them. forato is an example. at least get a level 5 trainer around 30-40k salary and then switch.

if your going to use a level 4 trainer, might as well sell him since you wont be training a great franchise player anyways. anyone who thinks it is fine to train an 18 years old to be a star in D3 but wont be an effective player in D2 or above is naive since the time and effort you put into 1 player is way too much and painful for him to be an average player. might as well buy a 20yo++ 15k player to train so you can compete straight away in D3 and train him into a player your going to train anyways saving you 2-3 seasons.

hey, up to you I have trained 4-5 players into D3 stars from 18 years old. but they werent be effective in D2 (potential capped or not enough training due to low trainer level). trust me superstar or above potential need to have at least level 5 trainer.

training slow down so dramatically as the player gets older so the mvp or above potential player need to have the best trainer possible, that way they will be beastly.

And I'm selling te guy I had before so that I can have spare cash
To make my team stronger around this guy to bad he is French not Aussie like last guy

Main things to focus on with that guy is his passing (it's horrible) and his OD. Don't touch his JS for a bit, it's already high enough for your present purposes (but definitely train it later on).

A perimeter SG for sure but really dont like the 2 atrocious... but dont worry, with the new system, they might pop once or twice even if you dont train them

just dont go overboard with the driving due to his atrocious IS.

passing isnt that important since many great SGs dont even have 10 PA.

route 1: you could jus crank his PA to 10 and dont really have to worry about it for the rest of his carrer then work on OD for the rest of the season.

route 2: rotate PA, OD, JS. keep OD and JS at the same level. next season you could decide what to train then. have PA at least 7 or 8 by the end of the season. maybe bring OD+JS up to 15-16 or JR up to 13-14 or PA to 10 the next season.

prolific OD is fine at 20 years old since they still pop once per 2 week, it might seem low due to all the managers out there blindly training 1 skill instead of other but elastic training is the way to go so route 2. ;)

this season goal is definately get his OD to 14, PA to 7 so he wont turn over so often, JS up to 13 at least. easy goals, pretty doable with the level 6 trainer.

p.s. if you do downgrade, get a level 5 at least
