Thank you very much for the pointers. First thing I will do is download HO. Selling Lionel van Dongen. Why would that be a good idea?

If you are training Goal Keepers then a 24 yo won't train quick. you should be at the oldest 18 yo when you are starting out. Otherwise they are too expensive. At the end of last season, I got 2 17yo passable keepers for ~35k each. they were 18 before either got training. Both should be ~ formidable at the end of the season and I'll sell one and get a young 17 yo so that I can get a good cycle going.

All of this is useless info if you are training something other than GKs.

He is too old to be trained so it would be better to replace him with a younger player if you were going to train goalkeeping.

or train scoring like me and a few others, however it affects your tactics, forcing you to play a 4-3-3 or i believe dell plays 3-4-3. Not sure about everyone else.

Dell19 · 15-05-2006, 22:49

Shabba plays 3-4-3.

The vast majority of scoring trainers play 3-4-3 most of the time.

Shabbaman · 15-05-2006, 23:37

The only scoring trainers I know that play 4-3-3 used to train either goalkeeping or defending. If you play 4-3-3, you can only try to achieve success through playing counter.
BTW, I can only discourage you to train forwards. Trainees are overpriced, while the sellers market is stressed. Not. Good. Goalkeeping is safe, wingers is for the adventurous.

BCLG100 · 16-05-2006, 00:39

it would probably be better for me to play 3-4-3 but i only have about 4 decent midfielders, so wouldnt have any replacements. Unless i move a wing back up, hmmm might try that.

if you plan on training GK. I would sell Lionel van Dongen but buy two 18 yo passables (cost ~35k each). also get a solid coach.

I'm I correct in saying that a solid coach costs about 2.5 million? Also I haven't found 35k passable 18yo keepers yet...

Shabbaman · 16-05-2006, 08:38

A solid coach with solid leadership would cost 2.5M, but a solid coach with poor leadership only costs 80k.
I did a search on 18 y.o. passable GK, and according to transfer compare the average price is now 95k. So you need a little luck to pick them up cheap. You're not in much of a hurry, so that's good. I hope you figured out how to filter for the right players on the transfer list...
BTW, you need this to assess how much training a goalkeeper needs to reach the next level. This is important now that you're buying, because a player that's closer to solid is worth a lot more than a player that's close to passable.

Also, if you're using firefox (which everybody should!), then I suggest this plugin.

Solid coach with poor LS is NOT 80K, it is 260k or so.
