Most likely the drop is not linear but exponential!

Yeah i tend to agree that it wouldn't be linear.

While that chart could be a useful visual tool for some, I'm afraid whatever is put up will be taken as fact and relayed whenever someone asks a question about what age is a useful trainee

So were to believe a season 11 team who just started and is ranked like 22,000 in the world? No thanks!! I have seen 30 yr olds with pops before and with what you said they train at 0. That doesn't make sense now does it.

you have a minimum of IQ

WHAT?
You are a newbie and you are giving advice on this game. That is like getting dating tips from a 12 yr old.
The saddest part is that some other newbie will actually take what you wrote as the truth when it is as truthful as a Superman comic.....

Thank you guys for all the help. It seems though that there is not really a definate answer. I would tend to think that the decline is more exponential and not linear. Thanks for the help though. It is an inexact science though and I'll just go with the statement that the younger the player- the easier he is to train!

U mad?

I am really really sorry if I get off topic with my conversations with Yellow cake

Is that what this is....Conversations? I would say it is more like you telling people false information and then insulting me. And then there is me just discrediting you as the jester you are.

Trains RB @ 1.75 weeks (~2.5 weeks for a 24 year old)

OK , this is from the training speed Analysis..Which I believe over your chart. If we go by the chart you posted

24 trains at 0.46

( 24 yr old loses 54% training speed), it would take a 24 yr roughly 3.5 weeks to get a rebound pop but in the training speed analysis it only takes 2.5 weeks which is only a 30% loss of training which is only about 5 to 6% loss a season. I don't think it is linear though. So I would guess it is about a 2% slow down the 1st year and maybe 6% and 7% as they get closer to 30 yrs old. And for you to be so angry, I am guessing that you finally realized that the chart you gave is a joke. So instead of giving facts to why your chart is the real deal, you try and insult me...It was like you running away under the cover of darkness. Didn't work
You getting all puffy chested in cyber space. Give me a break.
