The "How to Train?" topic (part 2)

[Jim]

I'd keep him on Batting and tech training till he's outstanding then maybe look at some more power.
As you say he'll never be anything fancy but I'm guessing he will do the job for you in your Divisions

Thanks for a serious answer. most times I get a "sell him, buy better" answer.

Selling him won't be a bad tactic at all mate. You are paying so much on academies, and if you train the 'right guys' in it. You CAN go Division 1.

But that's a long road! I'd imagine he's just getting a proper footing in this game now plus looking at his divisions, this player is all he needs a for a couple of seasons. Then each season that progresses he could slowly add new better 20y olds at EOS which will give him a good team eventually.

[Jim]

Isn't the road you are suggesting even longer?

It can be, but going off his reply it seems he wants to train his players, not replace him as you have stated.

[Jim]

Don't suggest anything you won't do yourself!

Been there done what I've suggested...

[Jim]

Yeah I agree there. I'd only think he's there for a short time, but he moss aswell stay there till EOS until he can get those nice cheap 20y olds.
I'm sure we both agree he could get a better younger player and develop him more, though he was looking for training advice

You need to get that fielding value up, so I'd keep him on Fielding until it reaches Expert, then switch back to Batting.

[GM-crowfan65]

I would be going batsmen myself
Gifted bowling well help him for his entire trng career but I guess it depends on your academy

[Jim]

He'll never really be a strong bowler starting at poor this time of season. I'd just go fielding then pump tech
