Sorry I'm late to the party folks. It appears we have a couple of quality managers in this race, however I still believe my approach and strategy will not only benefit the U21 Team, but it will trickle into the National Team as well.

Additionally, I realize I have not had any success training for the Canadian U21 team and that's partly due to poor drafting luck and settling for micro nations as it's a lot easier to get a U21 quality player when there are just less of them. However, back in the day when I used to play, I did draft and create a decent quality U21 Canadian player, who went on to the NT for several years. I would be remiss not to mention that (31706671). All that being said, whether I am elected or not, my goal is to train a couple of Canadian trainees that I've purchased and see if they can become quality players and hopefully make the U21 team.

I'd love to answer any questions you might have.

Not to be blunt, but that's very generic and I would say at the very least the minimum requirement to be considered for a U21 position.
U21 as a step to NT is not a bad idea in itself and it's better than nothing, but training a player to peak at 29 is not the same as training one to peak at 21.
Would you dismiss someone wanting to train a superstar player because he has no chance of making it to the NT, even though he could potentially be the best U21 player of its generation?

Absolutely, happy to specify, and yes, my opinion is that U21 must play with the best skilled players, but for NT interest, we must keep touch with the high potential prospects’ owners.

I would encourage our U21 to use and train the best Canadian skills for winning now, however as NT manager, I must encourage owners of the best Canadian potential that would not make the u21 cut, to train and develop those later bloomers as they are potentially critical for NT success.

It is such bridge between the two NT that can make a difference in the competitive rankings and ascend Canada to its deserved top spot. Being active, communicating with managers and working with u21 management are key to combine long term growth for the NT and compete in U21 competition every season.

You player could be a U21 star !!!

Global training plan for outside players (Guards and SF) :
18 yo : 1on1 F
19 yo : 1on1 F - OD
20 yo : OD - JS F - PA ou JR

Global training plan for inside players :
18 yo : ID (RB or 1on1 F during 2 games weeks)
19 yo : ID / IS (RB or 1on1 F during 2 games weeks)
20 yo : ID / IS / RB

Of course, all these plans could be changed according to the player profile and your wish.

Please contact me (86415) to discuss ! I will be happy to advise


i saw this at my player page i am contact, the user as mention long long time ago, but not read or reply either, so what advise it is, perhaps just an answer 'no your player is not qualifed' maybe more than enough.

I believe he could register because of the lesser known rule of at least 10 votes cast.
From the game manual:
No new registrations are allowed in the second phase of the election if there had been at least 10 votes cast up to that moment.

So that tells us less than 10 votes have been cast, and anybody can register before the vote ends
