Yes, just scroll down HERE. It's in the first post on the bottom.

i noticed the link, but i was blocked once he asked to directionated the path of the application! any clue of how to solve the problem?

I was looking for some guidelines on training older players..
at what age is it no longer worth training a player..
24? 25? 26?
is there a sort a grey range?

thanks

There is no general guideline..it depends on your preferences and what you mean by worth.
NT level worldclass players are still trainable at 27y..
For profit it's best to train 17-18 year olds..

The grey range is very wide which makes sokker training so great and variable

'worth it' is subjective and depends on the goal: making a quick buck is something entirely different then training to achieve full potential on the field. the influence of trainers and assistants is in both cases significant.

some of the NT potential is trained even after 26 years of age. though in the case of direct training usually that's done just to make the team then instead of financial gain. there's however no fixed age of equilibrium, by definition training is talent related ...

with a top set of trainers top talented players can still train even after 28+ (i've even seen a few 30 year-old reach superdivine pace) and can maintain the skill level for a long time, though at 30+ skills become 'jumpy' fast even for them because drops are rarely recovered from.
by that time the players with weak to regular talent have been dropping steadily allready for a few seasons. some start to drop in skills at 27 and don't recover.
on the other hand a handfull of guys are in theory still good enough at the age of 34 to make it into an NT team ... so the individual differences are enormous.

off course for such ages managers don't think in strict financial terms anymore, older players are sold mainly to cut losses but are still usefull for others to secure results on the field.

Some years ago I wrote quite a big guide regarding the training of players aged 25+, unfortunately it was written in Dutch, so can't refer to that.. Anyway, I think menasure nailed it.

Thanks guys.. great answers.. i new the grey range was wide.. this helps a lot!

What's going on with U21 NT matches??? Why such a big delay?

yes, cant recall last time that was such long delay

I was planing to expand my stadium. Currently, I have roofed seats everywere.

Anyway, when estimateing costs (for instance, to upgrade 4000 seats to 8000, roofed), the estimation says there is a cost for terrace's expansion of 8000 sites (not for the new 4000 only). The rest of costs (seats' bases, seats and roof) limit to 4000.

In the other places of the statium happens the same, and too if I remove (for checking) the roof option. It always count the alredy built sites for terrace's expansion.

Is this normal, or is it a bug (and it should count only the cost of the new sites)?

If I would rebuilt my stadium with 2000 extra roofed seats, this is what I get:

Value of construction on the northern stand in the stadium

Project Execution : 25 000 €
Expansion of terraces to 12 000 Places: 105 000 €
Assembly of 2 000 seat fastenings : 50 000 €
Assembly of 2 000 Seats : 90 000 €
Additional Roof: 200 000 €
------------------------
Sum: 470 000 €

Days for expansion to be ready: 10

So first the stadium itself (terraces) has to rebuilt to 12000, next the seats will be placed. So yes, it's normal :)

Yep, I guess it's ok that it happens for eveybody. But should the already built places be counted?

In dutch it says "to" so expendingcosts

The DEVs decided to do it like this (Expansion to 8000 Places). What you probably mean is the same, only in different words (Expansion of 4000 Places).
