I like to train individual positions when I am not trying to compete. This is because later, if you are training say 2 players you can train one on one (two position training) for the seasons when you are trying to be more competitive. Personally, and this is what I did with my trainees Innes and Mac, I got their defences like OD and ID first.

I got this dude. I will pick people's brains next time I'm on chat, as I've never trained anybody with HoF potential before...
I want to promote this season through, so my initial thought is to follow the old training advice note and give him plenty of forward 1-2-1

Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: hall of famer

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: awful
Driving: inept Passing: strong
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: strong
Stamina: awful Free Throw: average

Experience: atrocious TSP: 58 (33 + 25)

The JS is lower than OD, so you will not have the problem of HA lagging behind DR with this guy.

I'd train 1 season of 1v1 then do enough OD for him to not be a liability in D2 and then I'd start mixing it up depending on the build you want to achieve. You will need HA and DR to a reasonable level in order for outside skills to keep popping.

It won't hurt him at all to do the one on one this season, a very nice HoF indeed. Just take it steady and try not to reach a 'final target' skill early on. As Lemon suggests, get the defences up early on, they are harder to raise later on and they make the player very effective in your team if you want to stay competitive.

Cheers. Sounds like the basis of a plan...

I think this isn't bad at all:

Kinda short though. I wish I was better at this whole thing, then I might actually be able to train a good prospect here...

This is superb. You should easily be able to train him to U21. It is actually the highest salary draftee this season in England

I had 1 pull that I liked, though I really hate 1s and 2s even if not primary stats for their position.

At best U21, but I guess 7s all rounds IS/ID/ID/SB without trash abckups will beat him to it.

My brother however had a player that looks pretty good. Good balance, I just hope he trains him right -.-

He used to play the game a few years back, and restarted a couple weeks before draft. I'm worried he will try to balance 6 trainees, but I feel he understands this guy is legit af and will focus him :d He will need guidance, so U21 peeps need to get in touch with him (natoRious)

6 may be tough unless he has a really terrible team where the rest are even worse than the trainees. 5 is definitely possible provided that he doesn't have more trainees with 1 ST like this one. With 5 you can round minutes in the scrimmage for 1 or 2 trainees.

Yea he has a fresh team, all trash. Only a few weeks old. I mean more for dedicated 3player training when it comes to OD/ID/IS related training. But he seems to have the right mind, he will train extras just to strenghten them, but focus this guy.
