Yep.. Agreed. I think they should implement a "college" system.. there is a post in the suggestion forums that explains this more...


I think it would be cool if they made a youth team. Like all players had to be U21. So basically like the national teams, except now everyone would have one. And all those youth teams would compete in a seperate U21 league. Then, when the players are good enough, or 22, or if you need them, then you could bring them up to your actual team. I don't know if I'm crazy, but I personally think that would be cool.

I know its not a favorite idea for the game overlords because it would likely mean creating a whole bunch of new code. However, it does not have to be complicated:

Allow for one inter-squad scrimmage per week.

Supporters already essentially get that with the Private League. It would create more interest in the draft and make it easier for a team carrying more than 12 players to get 48 minutes for everyone.

Yes, it would involve extra work, codes, players, and a lot of other stuff I didn't think about. But I think having a team of U21 players would be very interesting, and it would make the U21national teams much more entertaining. And as I forgot to mention earlier, I think the youth team, or any secondary team should be open to everyone, not just supporters.

I dont think they should make a "U21" team because thats almost like a special thing for national teams... I think there should be a youth league where the players only get 4 years and then they enter a random leagues draft..I have made a thread about this in the suggestions fourm.

Ohhhhh, I see what you were saying. That's kind of what I was saying. They create a second team for everyone, all those teams are put in a secondary youth league. Except I thought the youth league would consist of rosters that only held players who were 18-21. Then when they reach 22, the manager can sell them, promote them, or have them be put in a random draft. Were you thinking about a youth team with players that are younger than 18? So like, the players play on the team from 15-18, and then they go to the drafts? I think you should at least get a chance to keep your own players if you want right?

Yeah - Maybe like one of your 4th year players is CERTAIN to enter your draft and you have a better chance to find him? like it can be an "ability" when scouting that cost 0-3 scouting points that is- Search for previous Youth/"College" playere?

I have mixed feelings about supporters being able to have 2nd teams and am probably leaning towards the negative

Positives - might;
encourage more of the current Managers to take up supporter
give more depth to smaller nations thus making it more enjoyable for those currently in those nations
better for flag chasers
Allow seasoned Managers the challenge of starting from scratch without losing their existing team
Give good Managers from strong countries the opportunity to play B3 by being best of small Nation


Negatives- might;
Make it easier to cheat
Might encourage non supporters to cheat -set up a 2nd team free of charge



I would rather have a separate competition as a benefit for supporters, such as some of those already suggested, utopia, womens, regional divisional tournaments etc, but understand that such "leagues" would cost more to set up

Should the 2nd team concept go ahead I believe that the Managers name for both teams should be the same and that their should be a reference to the other team on each teams page;

Hopelessly Addicted
Sid Vicious
(This Manager also manages .......(hyperlink to other team)

and on the 2nd team


Sex Pistols (Supporters 2nd team)
Sid Vicious
(This Manager also manages .... (hyperlink to Hopelessly Addicted)


Again I still have mixed feelings about the whole 2nd team concept

I don't think it should only be for supporters. Because that's unfair to people out there who don't have enough money to buy supporter. If supporters will benefit from it, I think everyone should benefit from it.
