I just started, some questions

[silverhaze80]

Hey guys, i just started playing this nice game.
I got a a mountain trainer (20), i train mountain of course.

I didn't buy any player so far, since i need to know some information i couldn't find anywhere:

1. how young a player should be in order to receive a good training? (What is the age after that is no longer worthed to train the player?)

2. How many player can i train at time? I read that more the players you train less the training received from each player. How many player can i train so all the player receive the 100% of the training?

3. Since i train mountain, what kind of (young) player should i buy to train him?

Thanks in advance!

1) age doesn't really mater in training....in peloton is important a hidden skill called Future ability! being hidden you can find a good cyclist only by luck in the beginning.

2) 25

3) 3 in mountain I guess and good sprint (as a personal advice)

[silverhaze80]

thanks for the reply.
I said 3 in mountain, ok, but what about the other skills?

[gelies]

well depends on you....at first be focused on monoskill.

I like mountain + sprint (2-3)
and if you have enough money also a little bit of hill!

Ok, one more question: how many weeks to pop in mountain?

p.s. ma sei romano? pure io

[Quatannens]

The FA will influence that a lot, can be minimal 3 weeks (with a lot of luck) and maximal a lot more than 10 weeks...

Just a small adition: buy some youth cyclists that are pulled (= found by a youth scout) by a good team.
These teams most of the time have a 20-20-20 youthscout (you can check that on the team's page), so there is a good chance that the young cyclist has a good Future Ability en Current Ability.

Tip 2: buy some older, but good cyclists first, to gain some money in races, they are very cheap on the transferlist right now.

thanks for this further advice. I will look for some old players too, it seems a good idea to me. What is a good player for you?

Well i also just started (27 of February) but i have the feeling i'm not in a very good division. Anyway i won some races with a 3 flat and 4 sprinter, so this is a good player for a very flat race.

If you want a good cyclist for the mountains, search for one with at least 2-3 flat, 2-3 hills and 3-4 climbing. With this kind of cyclist i'm sure you can make some money. So 2-2-4 is good, 3-3-3 as well, but 2-2-3 isnt good enough to get decent money from it. (but is good for a youngster)

For example: i won de Deutschland Tour with a 4 FL, 4 HI, 3 MO and the second in that tour was also mine: 5 FL, 2 HI, 3 MO.

Now i'm sure you must be in a bit better division, but with this kind of cyclist, and a good tactic, i'm sure you get them in the top 3 of a small tour. Maybe even in Vuelta (i'll be able to tell you in 2 weeks )

Good luck!
