    Return on investment?

    I'm curious if there is anything to the theory that the more you pay for a player, the better they will train and /or perform?

    Example: A goal keeper who costs 1million versus one that is 2million, all things equal. Im not factoring in nordeus players. That's a whole other variable.

    So vets out there.... You see two 18 year old goal keepers. Same stats. Same quality. One is 1 million and one is 2 million. Who are you taking?

    everybody knows that, well except new guys, but yeah the more expensive he is the better he will train . BUT there is no guarantee he will perform well

    I am new so that could be a basic question. However I haven't seen a correlation yet and I've cycled in and out a lot of players. Perhaps because I typically buy 1-2 mil players and it's more noticeable in the 2 mil plus range.

    If there are two goal keepers with same quality but difference in their price 1mil/2mil i would take the one that cost 4mil ;P
    Hope this was clear enough.. 18y.o players with high price usually train faster than other 18y.o with low/medium price.
    Note:Training faster doesnt mean they would perform better- sometimes they will.. but not always

    It depends. I divide the Market Value by the Wages and whichever has the higher training rate, I try to buy him.

    In your example given, on lower lvls, you pay for the trainingspeed. The 2M player will train faster, so it's only natural to expext that he will perform better over time. That doesnt have to mean though that he will perform better on the field then any 1M player, but chances are in favour for the expensive one to do well.
