not sure bout fast trainer or not. but I have him for 10 seasons, winning league all 10seasons and 1-2 treble.
my fast trainer which I bought for 1 token in market is usually ST, AML, AMR.
never care bout the defensive players because in my league my opponent also have mutant trio upfront no point having fast trainer/1% grey 300% white.
but this player hardly gets 6 rating. always 7 and above so I'm happy with him.
compared to my CB with header/wall specialist which have monstrous stats, fast trainer, pay with token from YA, they all are useless compared to this gem
p/s: I also play him as CB with yellow warning but he outperform the CB.![]()
Bump.
Point of interest, especially for all those complaining that the free youth academy players are worthless because they are 4 star slow trainers.
I took 3 free players from the academy this season - I have spent nothing on them, no tokens, no greens, nada.
When placed in my starting eleven overnight they are consistently generating 18 year old 5 star players costing me less than 20 tokens from my assistant managers daily player. These type of players are now rarer than rocking horse **** in auctions.
So...........thanks Nordeus, for now. (I'm sure you'll soon put a stop to this.)
I've been doing the same thing, using the youth academy players to get decent recommendations from the assistant. Although mine hasn't worked as well as yours, partly because my opposition have been good, which affects the quality (and price) of the players from the assistant. Getting players from the assistant seems to increasingly be the best way of getting decent young players without spending days on the auctions... so I'm sure Nordeus will 'improve' it soon!
and another observation. all the assistant recommend/scout recommend/event rewards/event recommend usually are good in top11 even if they're slow trainer.
i don't buy them but my asso mate who's a wallet player (too lazy to train just buy recommend every season) is winning easily compare to me who use hard earn rest and green from ads.
probably because nordeus wants to reward manager who use tokens(and real money) to buy these player directly compared to train them using rests/greens.
usually in asso matches, when we fought against top100 global who have mutant player left right centre, all 5 of us lose while that wallet player won and he be like "meh, this top100 player is easy!"![]()
Yep, value shows if a player is fast trained.
Nice hint but still before we used to get better player than this with 1T at the start of the season.
