I've been doing my shopping !!
 I'm switching to winger training next week (after 2 weeks of stamina), and so I've just finished buying me 8 trainees. This was a lot of work between last Sunday and tonight. Tubby Rower is also switching to winger training now, it's a nice coincidence. Here are my babies, in TSI order (why not)...Quote:

That's a total of 191k for 8 players, ie. 23,875 € per trainee. Quite OK, I think. Like Tubby, I will sold my old wingers and wingbacks next week. For some I'll have to wait a little, as I currently have 4 injured players, and they're all defenders !!!   My defensive line was totally crushed at the end of the season.I'm also waiting for my 2 GKs to sell, I delayed it until this week, like sz_matyas suggested. I'd better sell them quickly, their salaries became huuuge ! After that, it will be time to upgrade my stadium (still 12k seats, full even in small matches now). This was the youth week, as last night, the (RL) French national team beat Austria 1-0, and most players were beginners. The match wasn't great, but those youngsters are very interesting...

Nice buys, maybe you could have gotten more defense for your wingback trainees, but nice.
Do you wann rotate the players around or do you just let some train slower (WB only get 50% training)

Apparently, it was easier to get wingers with passing (winger position, forward movement) than wingers with defending (wingback position). And with 8 trainees to buy in one week, I couldn't wait forever. No biggie, I hope my attack and midfield will do the trick this season.
How I'll use my players, I'm not sure, but suggestions are GREATLY welcome. Winger training is one of the most difficult training type to manage, it seems (that's also why I chose it). It's quite obvious to me than Sommer will be one wingback on Saturdays at least. I have Cruciani as a possible winger in inner movement (to increase the possession a bit), which I'll do against the better opponents. Soljancik looks like a nice wingback on Saturdays too, but he can also be used as a winger in case of an injury. Well, there are many options, and I'll use them all if I have to, because I want the title this season. But how to manage the 100% and 50% spots, combined with the buying and the selling... Not a clue, my intuition tells me I should just assign a player to a position/schedule, sell the wingers regularly, keep the wingbacks longer and sell them too...

I've trained wingers for one season, screwed it all up a couple of times but had not been able to make any money at all. The wingbacks take forever to pop, so I will not use these spots at all especially not until I'm out of the cup. Then, may be I'll buy some trainees. However, I now have one player from Chile who is 18 yo but already in their U-20 and another from Turkey which is also 18-yo and is on Turkish U-20 waiting list. These players will get tons of extra experience and their playing strength and market value (if I ever would be willing to sell them) can be pretty high. A 19-yo world class winger with passable experience is worth a lot. So, whatever income might be possible to get is still about 2 seasons away from now.

The 2 last ones were steals, definitely.
Well, none of my 8 trainees is below inadequate in his secondary skill, that was one of my mandatory restriction, the other one being passable in winger at least of course. There's also a third restriction I had, though not 100% mandatory but quite close ; I followed it for all of them here, would you find this one ? (I'll post a question about it soon if no one finds)

well they're all calm or balanced. That'll hurt you when you sell them though.

 Actually, I chose players with only positive terms in those 3 categories, ie. at least pleasant, balanced and honest. I intend to do that in the future in most cases.So, my question : is it worth it ? It comes with just a little extra effort when you browse the market, but is there an advantage with that ? Shouldn't that help me when I buy them (symetrical to the fact that it hurts me when I sell them) ? And what do those 3 things really really mean ? I hope they get less cards overall, am I right ?

cards depends on honesty and aggresiveness.
I think you have bought a little better trainees than tubby. specially the passble passing will help you and drive the price up. I personnally think that all wingers shold have some pm, since this cuts cost foor midfield salaries. I am not sure at whicht level this starts to become a factor though. My worldclass midfileder just asks for 10k a week which is not that difficult to finance.
