E) Pace 11, Tech 11, Def 8
F) Pace 11, Tech 9, Def 10

Assume their Passing and Playmaking are the same. Let's say Solid.

Which do you go with as a defender?
(editado)

I could probably add a couple more options to this actually. Gimme a sec

OK that'll do
(editado)

What age?

The best trainee would be B.

If just looking at from a skill perspective, I'd go F.

F for me too.

Age isn't so important because it's more about how you prefer distribution, but let's say just turned 20.

Age is crucial... if he's still a trainee then the higher pace the better, most important factor

If it's about who to choose to play, then it's a different approach

Why do you think I'm asking the question?

It's not about training or age. I want to see what our members prefer, because it's dictating the players that we have available for the national teams.

then you could specify that it's about choosing a player for game and there's no point saying "let's say just turned 20" because that implies taking his training potential into consideration

Like where I didn't mention age in the first post?

Or where I said "Age isn't so important"?

Or where I said "Age is crucial"? Oh, nope that was you.

Don't over complicate simple questions. I know how much you love telling people they're wrong but it gets really tiresome having to constantly explain what is obvious to everyone else.

For what it's worth I went with F.

C & D are too slow.

B is a risk for tripping over his own feet.

E just doesn't have the defending.

A I like but compared to F, I slightly prefer the extra Pace.

What height?

Just kidding.. D for me

You could play D deeper to aid the pace... massive difference in def skills plus the solid pm helps the def too....

Pm to me is like a boost skill..

As camus says, you are over complicating a theoretical question.
