just to make sure your sqauds are going to be made up off the best right now ( eg 20 - 21 yr old ) or the best in the future ( 18 - 19 yr olds ) or a mixture

The main things to realise is that it is highly likely that a majority of top draft picks will go to lower ranked NZ managers. With 21 leagues there are 21 chances for a high skill + high potential draftee, 20 of these chances will not go to NZBL managers.


So are you saying the only good trainers are NZBL managers?

Also LeftHook, you're background was starting in Div III for a season, wasn't it? so you're living proof that plenty of good managers start or are currently in Div II or possibly even Div III.

Really it's not an issue at all having the majority of our better younger players in the lower leagues, The managers in the III leagues have a better opportunity to train these players than the higher leagues. The fact that we are so small means that most of the lower leagues are filled with bots which equals easy wins which means that training minutes are a lot easier to spread around.

For this reason I would say that managers in the lower leagues are probably the most important in developing good talent. Sure we all have a job to do, but with the bot teams not scouting these managers have a real good opportunity to get a good young player and turn him into a superstar.

Yeah that's definitely true. When I was in Div II and III I could do 1 position training all the time! Now I can only do it when my schedule isn't as tough.
