A Guide for fast trainers

[Al Svanberg]

Niko/Bunzo/Nash and Co.- I need your help!



Is this kid a top notch fast trainer?

I recon its not worth getting him as opposed to getting a 99% FT 18 y/o of the market, but I have only seen one AMR or MR or DMR on the market the last three season, and one of my twin accounts snatched him up. I am looking to get a DMR with Shadow Striker Ability (ie also add MR/AMR to him), and often these kids are like DMC and DMR or MR and MC which mess with my plan.

IIRC, I have seen you explain how kids costing a certain amount of Tokens are fast trainers, but I don't remember the details. And I can't find the info again.

Ok I got this kid to 99% now.

This is how it worked out:
+DMR -- 34 Rests
+AMR -- 35 Rests
+Shadow Striker -- 34 Rests
From 71% to 99% -- 80 Rests
Total: 183 Rests

The same cost for a 99% kid you pick up is basically 44x3=132 Rests. So the extra cost ended up being "just" 51 Rests. And 24 tokens since I signed him from the youth academy. Zero money. So I probably saved like around 2m compared to a 99% kid and 8.3m compared to getting someone on the market as opposed to someone from the Youth Academy.

These are the conclusions I draw:

-Its rare, but sometimes you see a fast trainer with two positions and a SA (often Corner-specialist for some reason...), if the positions and SA fits your bill, its cheaper to pick up a 4 star fast trainer with an extra position and a SA than a 5 star 99% kid.

-If you are hard-pressed for money, is it better to pick up a 3-4 star kid and train them? Well, I don't know how fast a 3 star kid trains, but it is not worth it with a 4 star kid. Instead of loosing 50 rests, you can farm 50x57$=2.8m, I think the money you are saving is about 2m. At my level at least.

-If you like are looking for a Fast-Trainer at a certain position and just cannot find someone, it is -- not -- an extremely bad deal to go with a 4 star kid instead. 50 Rests is a big cost, but its worth it if the option is to go 2-3 seasons without filling a position on your team that must be filled.

What do you guys think?

Now I just have to figure out if this kid can perform or not...

Is this kid a top notch fast trainer?

yes , he is a fast trainer and he can get a +150 (3 bars/practice, from the old training system).
But besides 24T you must give greens : +40 to add AMR, +40 to sa, +60 to make him 5* player, +70 to make him a good 6* player = about 200 greens.
Will he be good ? I would bet he 'll be.
But it's a lot of greens.

I have started to use a benchmark to find out if a player is a fast trainer by adding a new position or Special Ability and run 6 Fast counter attack drills. If they are fast trainers, they shall get 1+ every 4th drill.

I 've wrote (here or in the other thread about new-old version training), about that test.
Drills wich give condition loss of about -18, must give +1 to new role or sa.
But one training isn't enough.
Remember the ( progress) blue bar of the old version which is hidden now.
Four training can give us some conclusion.

Can't you do one for Academy Players, topic: Roberto Rossellini?

hm, I was thinking "The Natural" with Roberd Redford, but I don't have many examples.
I had only one academy player so far.

Great Rautz! I will keep a book on him.

Got him, and I can already say that he trains -- a lot -- faster than the best 99% Nordgens. Will come back with numbers, since I am adding two abilities and one SA, I will make up some of the greens lost to go from 71 to 99%.

[Al Svanberg]

New record for me when adding a new position/SA, 34 green packs or 149 Fast Counter Attack practices. Very impressive. Will save about 10 greens give or take a few with this kid as opposed to the pace it takes for a 99% fast trainer.

[Al Svanberg]

Sometimes I even get a plus every other practice, but mostly every third:

You can put that into numbers.
If it was every 3rd, it would be 11.25% condition. So if it sometimes comes after 2, it means less than that, maybe 10-10.5%

That looks really good. My 99% player with a PRO training was getting 1 every 15%

1. Does a 4* star academy player ever come with 2 positions or SA?

Because if you need just to boost him to 99% and give 1/3 things (Position/Sa) you gave to your player then packs are reduced to 120.

2. Is the 4* academy player always a really fast trainer?

3. On post #353 I see something weird.. you used same kind of drills yet in one training player gained 2 positions. When I do training for position/SA with same kind of drills I get the same exact results , for example I get +1 for 5 consecutive same drills (this will result in some trainings to gain +2 but again the difference between each +1 is 5 drills) I cannot explain how your player gained +2 with 1-2 drills difference

It was a spill-over effect so to speak. Was getting 1+ every 4th drill, the. On a regular basis like once every 10th session I got 1+ only 3 drills apart.

I´ve found the 4 star academy player to always be a fast trainer & often they have two positions but never a SA

I do not think they come with two positions with a lower level Academy. I think I've received 6 kids and they only had 1 position so far. But from the looks of it, the tokens kids I got has been fast trainers.
