O'Connor was bought as a complimentary player to fill a training slot and sell off later for a profit. Gould is the real focus. He's had a week of ID & Reb without a pop in each of those when i had a superior coach so he should be close to getting multiple pops.

Should i be ignoring any skills for NT development and focusing on others? Is D more important? Should I do that first? I have quite a few options given how much there is to do with SF's.

He will never make the U21 team and making the senior team will take probably more than six seasons of training so really it doesn't matter. However the traditional advice is do defence as soon as you can so he fouls less and has his minutes messed up less often. It also means he can do something useful for your team a lot sooner.

I'm assuming you have said this given his age and height, Yoda. Too small to get the inside skills up and too old to start working towards U21 selection given his current stats? If so, I agree.

However, could still be a quality player obviously with that potential and focused training.

The spanish 23 year old might need some training


Definitely a 4th priority.

SFs take a long time - this guy will take aaaaaages to get his ID up. However, if you stick at it, he'll be a gun player for your team and his salary won't be so horribly monstrous that you'll need to sell him once you finally get there.

I bought gould as an a8 yo midway through last season and have trained up his inside skills since. He's had about 7 pops so far and i upgraded to a higher level coach only about 4 weeks ago.

I'm in it for the long haul with him and figure by 25 he should be pretty awesome.

No pops this week for Gould - i'm starting to worry he's not training properly. He's now had 5 weeks training with a lvl 6 coach of IS for 1 pop.

Single position training each week with 48 minutes each time.

Results

nothing, nothing, pop, nothing, nothing

I assume he will go again this week but is his IS taking so long because he is short as i thought height only effected rebounding?

sounds very unlucky, i have a 23 y.o pg that is popping every 2 weeks in passing, i know it trains quicker but my coach is a level 5.

maybe you will get a triple pop inside or something which will make up for it.
