Tactics and player attributes

But what about those trialists/reserve players that, when played, have a start value of say 5k. I take it they will always be rubbish?! Or can a trialist with a low start value be very good to begin with?

Most times they are rubbish. The really good trialists often start at higher value.

I remember midfielder Rod Taggart . Started with 500k or 1 M, I don t know, and ended up at 8 M.

Ok thanks Oli. I will try and sell the people worth 5k, but nobody ever wants them! Shall I just release them on free transfers?

Nobody will be angry if you release them for free.
