Fast trainer turning out to be a flop

[Qambu Yaasi]

Dumb luck or just bad tactics?

I bought 2 very expensive fast trainers this season - I'm at level 6

ST, Age 20, Value $10.1M, Salary $230K, 5* (48)
MR/AMR, Age 18, Value $8.3M, Salary $220K, 4* (43)

Both can train on average 120/70/30 (from memory)

However, both suck even in friendly matches...even tho they score/provide assists, the game rates them 5-6. Most of the time their names are not mentioned in the commentary. Think I got the bad end of the bargain, twice, with these purchases.

Thinking of continuing to train them and see how they perform next season.

Anyone experiencing something similar?

Sure, even more expensive than yours because I was level 5, spent my whole budget on this crap:

Best rating he had in the whole season was... 5! lol

They are not that expensive...
At level 6 I bought 2 players - one 14.5 million and other 14.7 million...

Never encountered any youth worth > $11M in my server...

But they question is, did they flop?

[Siddharth Shanker Singh]

Since they are not that much expensive, they are definitely not NORDEUS generated so chance are they can be a flop...

But persist with them for 9,10 matches and play them the whole match and do not change there positions and even after this they are not performing then yes they are flops...

One more if you play attacking then increase there attack more than there physical and defense...

So I take it yours weren't flops... since this is the third time I am asking...

Thanks for the tips...Im still being very patient with them...

Precisely: half my team is made of nord Gen(with special atributes) and the other half young talents from my own academy. the academy youngsters are training incredibly good , very fast. My point is no matter what keep your 24tokens youngsters and stick to your tactics . This is my second season wich im using this formation and its rewarding. Yes you can loose some matches but if you give credit to your players specially youngsters they will reward you at some point sooner or later. I had troubles with much lower q managers wich were using same tactics and formations and learned my lesson. And now Im winning everything. I never
bought scouts, i rather keep my academy youngsters wich in time are more rewarding. Cheers mate AND BBTOTM#

What I have found is very much like Siddarth is suggesting, they come to you quite even in their attributes and it takes some playing and training to assign them points so that they work for your style of play. I pretty much only buy fast trainers on BvB, and sometimes they are awesome right out of the gate, (usually ST's) but mostly they need a little fiddling with before your get their best results.

[Qambu Yaasi]

So from what you can Siddarth is suggesting, the best way is probably to have them attacking-heavy in attribute before balancing out the physical/defensive side of the player...I'll take that into consideration.

[Cat Harrison]

I tend to even them out and then start building their primary skills and physical up above that. I press whole pitch all the time though so I want them to be high on that column.
