you don't care about them being cheaper in salary either?
As long as someone else does the off-position training and I dont have to overpay for it. So far so good. :)
Then you'll have to hope he isnt from China unless there is something done about the cheat(s) that will sadly block your attempts to purchase the aforementioned player(s)
I think i've been in position better than a lot to experiment with out of position training. My observations are its tough (rewarding? who knows)
TL wise I think my players have attracted slightly more on average becuase of the prominance of my team NOT the skillsets of the players themselves.
OD 12 ID 6 I would also take every day over OD 10 ID 8.
If we are all wrong and inefficient then the TL will of course not reflect Charles perceived extra value as we simply dont have enough data to go by and will always seek comfort in the skillsets of those we have learnt to believe and trust.
If the training was opened up (maybe temporarily for 2-3 seasons) we could then really test whether the extra ballache is worthwhile. Until then its better the devil you know than the devil you dont.
