I think training both C and PF is what I would do. If you decide to train 2 positions, you can buy a 5th trainee as well. With a little practice, for 2 positions you should be able to set your lineups so that 5 players get at least 48 minutes each week (needed for full training).

As those trainees improve, it is a great idea to sell some of them to raise money, and then buy upgrades for the positions that you aren't training (as well as new trainees to replace the ones that you sell). I think that is a solid plan for long term development.

Thank you. That is great advice. I will try to do that.

How difficult is it to train 5 players at a time?

It is not that difficult. I train 5 players on 2 positions, and only rarely do I have a player receive less than 48 minutes (and usually just by a few minutes). I recommend experimenting and figuring out how to do it yourself; that will give you the best sense of what works for your team. Also, while experimenting with setting your lineups, you can ensure that your most important players always receive full training each week (which minimizes any training loss from the learning curve).

I think I would be able to figure out how to get 5 players 48 minutes but I am afraid that it would involve not starting my two best players for one game a week.

Last week I started the same PF and C in both league games and they ended up playing close to 40 mins a game. Then I started the backup PF and C in the cup game and both of them got over 48 mins that way. Is there a way to squeeze that 5th player in without benching one of my best players for a league game?

You should be able to start 1 player (perhaps Tellez) in both league games, and work everyone else's minutes around that. Unfortunately, I can't think of an obvious way to start 2 players in both league games and still have the minutes work out well. Despite this, I still think it is well worth training 5 players.

No one has mentioned that the player he has is a tad short, which doesn't help when training the inside attributes.

That's right, he would be even better if he was a little taller. But considering the other trainees of this guy, it's way better to train inside than outside.

Passing is allright for both players, the 1st player could use some extra JS and OD as well.
