They are the other guys. I plan on trying to draft another PG with high potential or look at buying a kid start of next season and sell off or stop training one of these.
Any help would be greatly apprieciated

Hey whompa. Player #1 looks excellent and will train very fast. Player #2 is old but already has good skills and the advantage of him would be you can play him in league games without getting your ass whomped. Player #3 is good but not for you. He is already quite old and very tall, someone that wants to train SFs would like him, but your 18 year old 6'0" does not want to become a SF so I would try to find a better 3rd trainee.

does not have high enough potential

thanks Yoda,
yeah I was originally planning to do SF, but decided to go gaurds after I already purchased players 2 and 3. I thought if i train them all this season move on player 3 with high OD I should make a decent profit as he will be 21 superstar potential with maybe sen or trem OD

Probably smash the D up first on #3 mate. It will give you a sensational skill to hang your hat on when you sell him. If find that i've had the best luck selling guys that are have an excellent secondary skill level (say big guys with avg+ OD, JS or passing) or one big skill that people will not have to worry about training.

If he gets to sensational OD it will be ideal for a bloke that wants to train him inside to make him a SF. IF you can get that up quickly you can sell him off this year before he ages 1 yr which will help get you some more $$$$.

all-star is minimium, because you could probably succesfully 1 position train an allstar for 3 and a half-4 seasons. With a star it takes you less, however, i think anyone could pull of a SF star for an U21 team to come off the bench:) However, i agree with the "dolts" ( :p ). Do not train anything under 7, because it's useless. Ofc, you might get lucky and sell a guy with potential 4 with 700k and buy something useless(seen it happen) , but this is very rare. A guy with potential at least 7 can go a very long way. Longer than you would expect.

For instance, if you train a guy with potential 8-9, for about 6 season(let's say PG), he would be a 150k PG at 22-23, that will own, any league he is in.
