I bought an 18 yr old English Centre, 2 seasons ago now, so he is 20.. You cant train 18 year olds in this division, its just too competetive! What fluff said was dead right! I bought a 23 year old Centre at the start of this season for some training and so i am competetive this year (:

what it starts to boil down to is the teams in lower divisions buy the 18 year olds, and in the higher divisions buy the older trainees.
its in each higher division interest to make sure all the lower levels train younger draftees properly, and reward them for this by buying them at good prices. (in theory the merchandise and chance to train while being competitive should be a big incentive to pay a good price). everyone benefits and the lower division teams get loads more money to buy arena and players etc and so the cycle continues.

Yeah it should work like that, but surely most of the best managers are in the higher divisions?

I think the one draw back about training a number of players is the salary increase they get and I tend to be a bit precious about players I have trained from scratch (havent sold any of them!) the problem is the salary budget keeps on creeping up and you get to the point when you have to think about selling someone to balance the books.

I am going to try and and get a couple of quick pops on some cheap rookies I bought and see if I can turn them round for a profit in a couple of weeks.

I"m greedy, I like training my own draftees! I drafted a pretty good guy this season, but had to sell him as I had no room in my training rotation. It was a good investment though - about 160k in scouting for a 500k rookie.

Also, Los Mosquitos (:P) really made this season academic for me. I'm just going to focus on my training. Trying to get my C - my own personal draftee Don Holm, into the NT in about 2-3 seasons time.

So far, I've gotten 2 bots in the cup, but an evil opening set of games with Mikitos making my fans hate me!

ditto except i had no decent trainees to show for my measly investment!
still bought someone i can give a few pops to and maybe after someone else will find him appetising to train to U21/NT as ill be dealing with his main weakness at JS/JR

i saw your trainee, will be tracking him as he looked pretty good starting out.
id keep an eye on him maybe buy him back one day assuming he gets trained right. Homegrown players should always ha ve a place in your team one day ;o)

Yeah it's always nice to train your own!
But, having never had a reasonable trainee in seasons, its hard to stick to it, and have to buy one in! I always try and buy english, but sometimes for the same skills, you can find cheaper..
2 bots in the cup for me too... helping me build enthusiasm :P
