Ok, The Drunkards have finally had improvements as a result of my training program. Now I dont have any experience in the ratings that are above passable so it would be nice to have some advice from a vet about these two.

They just bumped up to Solid today. Now I know they have no secondary skills which hurts their value. But how much do you usually see players like this sell for? Keenan almost always scores a goal and gets 2* in inad or passable form. Patrik Larsson usually doesnt score a goal but has still managed 2 1/2* in his last 2 weeks.

For those of you who dont follow my dynasty (shame on you) I am 217,000 in debt at the moment and still need to upgrade my stadium from the initial 7K seating. So it would be nice to get out of the red soon, but with the age of these players would training them up to excellent be better? How much more would they get me with an excellent rating?

I should also note that I only need to start 1 of these 2 in my league games. Plus I have another forward who can step in and play very well.

I am undecided on wether to sell now or keep training them. Advice please?

Well, the only advice I can offer is to either sell _right now_, or _right_ when they pop to excellent.

Larsson could bring in a tidy sum, but his passing rating really hurts. Also I don't know if people still drool over 17 year old solid scorers still, but if they do I've seen people sell them for over a million. But those guys have decent passing skills.

RPI- Yea, Thats petty much what I was thinking. No point in training them if Im going to sell before they pop.

illinifan- Thanks, I guess I will just put Larsson up for 500 or 600K and see if anyone wants him. Kinda like just throwing shit at the wall to see if it sticks. I doubt I can get that much but we will see.

Im off to check out the transfer markets to see if I can get a better idea.
