Only train a new position or special ability if you get a player who is just a skill point or two from being a scout. Also, make sure he is a fast trainer. And get him near the beginning of the season.
An 18 year old fast trainer can be on your squad for about 7 seasons.
Personally, I save skill points during the season. Then, on the last two days of the season, I start to powertrain my players who have the most points since they are the best trainers. I train them enough so they are 4 or 5 star for the next player. If I have a player who is uncommon (an AML/AMC), and a slow trainer, I will still powertrain him since he may be difficult to replace. Don't waste green packs on your 3rd striker or 4th MC.
If you are a token buyer, buy green packs and powertrain whomever you desire. You could also use personal trainer. You can then get the guy to stay on your squad until he is in his late 20s or early 30s.
