all these posts about buying the fastest trainers.....

[Steppenwolf]

and what have I learned? nothing.

I keep thinking that buying the most expensive players in the list will ensure I get fast, but not necessarily the fastest, trainers.

Can someone tell me how I can be more sure of buying faster trainers? I have been playing for 20 seasons and still not sure...because I am not on here all the time and frankly, I'm really lazy when it comes down to it.

for example, I just bought a 19yo ST, $105M, 103Q. I just did a hard practice match and got 63 points.
I have had my 21yo AML/ML, $78.7M, 96Q. hard practice match got him 99 points, almost 1 skill point.
and finally my 21yo DL/DML, $75M, 96Q, hard practice match got him 90 points, almost 1 skill point.

Logic would say that the 19yo ST at $105M would train better but the other two players make that a lie.

Can someone educate me?

I keep hearing nordgen. These are players on the list from bot teams or teams that are nordeus made to make up numbers? These are the faster trainers?

Since value is not the best indicator, what is?

Your 96Q players are 4* and ST is 5*... there is around 20% training speed difference... The fastest 4* trainers range is between 114% and 174% for training match set on hard (19-29% stretching set on normal)... Around 20% less than that when they reach 5*

Just checked... My goalie who had 19-29% range for normal stretching, now, as 5* player has range 14-23%... That is 84-138% for training match set on hard... So nether one of your players is the fastest... All 3 are fast trainers, but just average ones...
