I think the fact that their easier to train is why the guard training is heavier. I'm surprised the difference is so big, but if it's harder to train guards, I'd rather have control of it, than rely on someone else to create the player I need. Whereas good big men are pretty common on the transfer market.

Guards are more of a challenge to train, but definately pay off

I marked guards but I'm trying to train a few decent SFs in the time I have while I'm tanking and flying through a lower D.IV

Well your not allowed to vote.

Instead, train a perfect SF and then sell him to me.

Whereas good big men are pretty common on the transfer market.

That last sentence is utter crap. The reason big men aren't worth a damn is that nobody bothers to train more than 3 skills on them, and somehow thinks they're worth something.

If, on the other hand, you search the TL for players with IS/ID/RB of 13+ and DR of 10+, there are precisely 15 players currently on the market, and only 10 of them have passing above mediocre. Of those, only six have FT skill above inept. The average asking price for those six players is well over $3.3 million.

I just wanted to throw-in my two cents of agreement, only instead of DR, if you search the TL for Cs who have IS/ID/RB of 13+ and PS/OD of 8+, you find exactly zero.

OD isn't as hard to find (there are 10) but only 2 of those have better than inept passing (none better than average).

Conversely, there are 8 with >/= 8 PA, and only 3 of those have OD better than inept (again, none better than average).

Everyone keeps talking about building SFs, and nobody is talking about building PFs.

Easy.

What you're talking about are great big men, and I would agree entirely. I'm currently looking for the player you're talking about and it hasn't been easy.

But understand that you're in DII, I'm in DIV along with the majority of the people in America who are in IV or lower. The "good big men" you're looking are far different than what others are looking for. So, in your personal case, you are absolutely right, and I should have been more detailed explaining my personal case. But, in DIV a player with IS/ID/RB of 12-13+ and 5 passing would be more than serviceable.
