His potential is limited, but not terribly low, and his skills are good, if we turn a blind eye on his OD. Also, his size is pretty good. So I'd say you should train him. He won't last more than 3 seasons as your trainee, but that's not too bad. And on your level, he'll be a cornerstone of your team when maxed. But because of his potential, he won't yield you much on the market.

Training his OD should be a priority, though. He really needs to get that one skill trained for an entire season at least. And some Driving won't hurt either.

At that potential?

Try 2 seasons at Pressure for 1. Followed by a season of JS for 34. Followed by a half season of JS for 12 and 5 weeks of PA for 1. Then finish with 2 weeks of JR for 2.

30k salary roughly.


Even from there you can probably get his OD up to prodigious if you desire....which will make him effective as a starter until D.II likely in Australia.

Be careful because around this range he can cap at any moment with the new cross training.

I need advice too, if you don't mind. I'd like to make him a u21 player (he is from Chile). Is he a PF, a SF? Please help me, didn't train youngsters for several seasons... Thanks in advance!

He's too small, old and not skilled enough to make U21. That said, he could still be a decent player.

PF....don't even attempt SF at those skills.

PF then, thanks for the help.

What should I train first, ID?

Yes.

4 or 5 seems the norm.
