Personal Trainer questions

[julien12]

Thanks.

No one has an opinion on whether I should use personal trainer or greens for maintaining my old man?

29 years old is the oldest a player can be to use the personal trainer.
In general, I find the personal trainer to be far more expensive than using greens for specific trainings. You mentioned you would need 80T to use the personal trainer for a 4% gain. To me that is not good value. 30 year olds train very slowly but usually still faster than 22 greens per 1% point (80T is roughly = to 89 G). The benefit of the personal trainer is that you do see the 4% increase across most the players skills, including ones already very high, 160-180, whereas it is harder to target those same skills with drills. But still...if you use some of the excel sheets available to find the best trainings for your guy I’d say you will get a better outcome for your 80T with trainings. All that said, 30 years old is usually past the point I try to train a guy but I wish you luck in getting to 1000 no matter which method you use. (In fact it would be great if they allowed the personal trainer for players so old that it would in fact be cost justified. I think many managers would like to extend the useful life of 30 - 33 year old favorites.)

Superb explanation.

I agree that the personal trainer is long past an overhaul. I have suggested this many times.
