Congrats Brutus... bring us home some bacon!

Thanks, sorry haven't had a chance to thank everyone yet for voting for me. ThankYou!!!!!

There is a scrimmage tonight against Iceland. I took a few minutes to evaluate the current players and set a lineup. A little different than before but only minor changes so far. I will spend some time this week to do some scouting on all our options for players.

Hi guys, I'm trying to get started on scouting. I've tried the tool suggested by GM -Kik0:

Take a look here (218184.1)

For some reason I get an error when I try to run the application. "The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable"

Any suggestions on other sources for scouting. I will go through the past years of U21 games to collect those players as potential candidates. I guess for a country our size most of the NT candidates have gone through U21.

Looking at the team most of the guys are 28-30 years old. We need to focus some on younger guys so we can sustain a quality team in the future. Otherwise we will decline in 3-4 seasons. If you have guys who you are developing for NT please send me their names so I am aware of them. I will try to find them anyway on my own.

There are few solutions, for example one of them:

Thank you, this one worked.

No worries, I deleted them.

I have completed my scouting in preparation for the Season. The 12 guys on the team now will be the core of the team for the season. I have 6 more spots and I'm still deciding how to use those. I may give a few to some of the young prospects coming up and keep some so I can save any Big Man prospects that might be on a team going bot.

I want to share with everyone what I'm seeing for the future of our team. It's pretty worrisome and we need to take action to fix it now. When I look at our prospects age 22-25, there are 8 players with guard/SF skills that are currently 90 TSP or above and have potential and time to get to 120 or above. So we're in fairly good shape of for guards/SF.

On the other hand for bigs its not good. in the same 22-25 age group we have 4 prospects. they are Sup/PA level and owned by teams outside Japan. Current TSP is between 70-80 with a max potential between 100-110. So we are looking at a big fall off on our front line in about 5-6 seasons.

However, there are a few good prospects under 21 today. All but 1 are on Japanese teams now. Four of these guys are on U21 team. 2 owned by Swoosh who seems to be the master developer of Bigs. I have bookmarked all the guys who could be valuable to us and will notify everyone if I seem the posted on the transfer list. There is 1 guy owned by Jaygon (last logged on 3/20) and 1 guy owned by Saitama Kobatons (last logged on 3/28) that we need to watch. If their teams go bot we should try savings these prospects.

I will reach out to all the owners of these bigs and let them know we are interested in the being trained for NT. Yellowcake I will send you a list of the guys I found. Probably you are already aware of them.

If any of those young bigs go on the market, I can take one on. I have a spot open on my training group, with Torii/Tomioka being worked at the moment.

There is a guy up for sale now. I posted him in the player ads.
