a season ago I pulled a 17 year old solid forward. TRied to sell him (65k) no one wanted him. So I kept him around planning to switch to forward training start of last season. Long injury and some line-up fuck ups made me start forward training a few weeks ago instead of beginning of season. To my amazement the now 18 year just popped to excellent scoring after about 3 weeks of training. :D

Happy no one bought him back then, pity I couldnt start forward training sooner.

So in fact you're happy because you own a (almost) 19 year old excellent forward? I hope he does have a reasonable passing skill...

So will you sell him now? At the start of next season he should fetch 200K I suppose, even with wretched passing.

Like Shabba says, he seems a little old to continue training, especially since your weak league allows you to get good results even with 17 year old solid forwards. :)

Sure I;m happy , I could have had an alomst 19 year old solid forward. (and that was what I expected)

Not sure if I'll sell him now, most my trainees will be 19 next season but they'll be high excellent/low formi for me age isnt the problem. After all it's just 1 extra week for skill up.

Thats about 12 weeks a season though. I have two formidable 17 year olds which I'm pretty happy with as together they cost me around £350k.

I have 8 assistant trainers and a solid coach. According to HO it will take me 7 weeks per skill up for both 18 and 19 year olds

HO is possibly wrong. It takes me 7 weeks for 17 year olds, 8 weeks for 18 year olds and 9 weeks for 19 year olds and thats with a solid coach and 8 assistants.

what training intensity are you using?

From my scoring training experience is 6.5 weeks/ level for 17 yo (that is, first level 7 weeks, second level 6 weeks. Than when they turn 18 they'll have 7-8 weeks, at 19 8-9 weeks and so on.

100% intensity. I think I may have had one or two early pops but never anywhere near 7 weeks as a 19 year old.

My 18-year old trainees popped excellent at the end of the previous season (when still 17, at playday 14)), and only a few of them are outstanding now (just popped, they are those that played in the off season of the previous season).

3 of them have also suffered from a week delay due to the training bug, but below 8 weeks for a 18 year old seems rather impossible to me really.
