So... game 1 with me. Damnit. A loss to China, in China. Still - we weren't embarrassed. Up at half-time, then they overran us.
Next up, a game vs Australia. Not much of a difference to China. Sheesh!

Considering the lack of player options that's a pretty good result, especially against China.

Sheesh...

Saddens me running through rosters. Players are either a) on good teams, but crappy (read "less-than-allstar") pots, or good pots on teams that simply aren't training them! I cringe when I see 20 MVPs who aren't being trained (read "5k salaries or less")!

Okay then...

I've gone through our team in a bit of depth, and have had a close look at each of the players. I've divided them up into three tiers, in order of importance to the team. Tier 1 players are key to the success "THIS" season, tier 2 - key back-ups, future important players. Tier 3 - unless their skills change considerably, they're unlikely to get much time... this season.
IF you have any questions about your player, don't hesitate to contact me! Remember, the following is for this season... but for interest's sake, I've underlined the players that are Superstar or above in pot (and thus, could have importance for the NT).

Tier 1: Denjiro Yamanaka (21); Tsugahara Sugihara (20); Hayuma Kimiyama (20); Nobuo Ikeuchi (21); Ko Maruya (21); Takeshi Satoh

Tier 2: Ed Okeefe (20); Hinata Agano (19); Shintaro Kikuchi (20); Fumikazu Mitsuki (21); Yutaro Ogura (21); Masayoshi Nakata (20); Kei Egawa (20)

Tier 3: Yusaku Oyanagi (19); Kouki Kamioka (20); Masateru Kitahara (19); Motoyuki Yoshimoto (20); Eriya Aoki (19)


I'm pretty enthused about this group. We've some major holes, but if players are well-trained... could be a good season next year.
Of a bit of a concern is the lack of MVP (3) or higher (none) players we have. That doesn't bode well for the NT.

Important: if you have a player on this list who you aren't going to train, or if you have a player 20 or younger with Superstar or higher potential - please contact me!!!

Are there any MVP + guys on teams likely to go bot? Might be worth adding them even if they get no training for half a season.

Not unhappy with our performance against Australia, but GEEZ did they have a big last quarter.
Easier games coming up - tho' nothing "easy" per se.
Iran (#35) - wins against Pakistan & Kazakhstan. Big center... I'd guess strong primaries.
Indonesia (#41) - a win against Pakistan -- good side, some very strong players.
Pakistan (#96) - losses to Iran/Indonesia. Not so strong... we should win this one.
Kazakhstan (#79) - losses to Australia/Iran. Not a bad team, but it's one that's within our capabilities.

My goal's to try and sneak a victory in within the next two matches. Try and finish 3-3. That'd be a good finish for us (and performing better than expected). Beyond that would be gravy.

Who is the world's most expensive U21?

No win but I think the team did really well.
