Here's the extension to the list:-
(15028238)
(15028359)
(15028223)
(15028195)
(15028360)
(15028179)
(15028411)
(15028408)
(15028159)
(15028166)
(15028346)
(15028356)

For those who'd like to train them, please contact the owners to see whether they are willing to sell or not.

For those who have outstanding draftees (salary > 4K), and you are not planning to train them, please help Malaysia NT by transfer-listing them. You can earn some money too, you know! There are many trainers out there who are willing to pay high price to get good trainees, so please take that opportunity!

Cheers!

The list above is really good. And actually gives much hope on drafts when I look at it.
However, BB Malaysia is plagued with high turnovers and out of the 12 listed players, there are 4 players from inactive teams and 1 from a bot.

For the remaining 7 teams (not bolded), they are still active and can either train the next U21 player or sell them off.

(15028238) is under LaksaSarawak but potential is Star
(15028359) is under Tony#9 but is only starter potential
(15028223) is under A-team all-stars who is inactive (last active on 28th June)
(15028195) is a giant at 7'5" but is under 76ersSSS who is a bot
(15028360) is under Johor Tiger and has superstar potential
(15028179) is under malaysialfc who is inactive (last active 5th June)
(15028411) is under Kaskus Banget and has superstar potential
(15028408) is under 18Mirage but potential is Star
(15028159) is under irbid cavs who is inactive (last active on 24th May)
(15028166) is under KnightHawks who is inactive (last active 30th May)
(15028346) is under The Vipers with all star potential.
(15028356) is under Pmtg 3RM with HoF potential

For those under inactive teams, I will urge TerFu to scout these players and see if they are worthwhile to be saved (enlisted in the U21 team so that the players will be in the transfer list when the team goes bot).
I have zero experience as an NT manager but I really feel that we only really need 12 players to play. I think there is a limit of 18 players. So the remaining 6 slots can be used for:
1. As alternative tactics when trying to exploit specific team's weakness. Say if we usually go Run and Gun, but a specific opponent is strong on the OD but weak on the ID, then we might want to deploy players with better inside skills.
2. As a spot to book potential players from going into retirement due to inactive teams.

I strongly feel that given Malaysia limited amount of users, we are really short on potential local players. And as mentioned by Phemomenal we need to correct this from the roots. So I urge TerFu to deploy Option 2 instead of using the extra 6 slots for Option 1. No point keeping players in the NT team who you will not be deploying for the whole season anyway. Better to book the 6 players slot for the potential future NT players.
If you are worried of wasting the slot, you can always share the skills of players from inactive team and see who would like to train them. Once we have a confirmed team interested (and have the money to buy from the transfer market), we can then enlist the player into the U21 NT team to save them from retirement. (QCS is already saying that he is looking for an outside local player with salary of more than $4K)

This will be a long term investment and will only have results at least in 2 season's time. But I believe it is the only option we have if we want a better future for our NT team.

Thanks for the write-up there, Kwaiwah. I also think Option 2 is workable, but that is if Terfu really doesn't need those slots.

But we (as potential trainers) also needs to take initiative and contact the targetted trainees' owners to speak to them about sincerely wanting to acquire their young players (with reasonable money on the table, of course!). At the same time, we also want to make a request to all new managers who happen to own a good draftees, to be unselfish and co-operative, when dealing with potential draftee buyers. Let's make it a win-win situation for all!

Here's some more players who we may be interested in:-
(15028464)
(15028473)
(15028483)
(15028157)

Cheers!

I totally agree. And I am sure with your initiative to point out all potential trainees, the trainers will know to send BBMail to the team. My worry is only that the team is inactive and the trainers did not realise this and keep waiting for a reply from the inactive manager.

This actually happened to Spaz when he wanted to get Shawal (9630050) in Season 8, and I pointed out to him that the manager has been inactive for over a month. With TerFu's help, Spaz managed to get the trainee and Shawal has played a vital role in the U21 matches from Season 10 till Season 12. I am sure by Season 14 if not this season itself, Shawal will be in the Senior NT with Spaz's concentrated training regime.

Not trying to make TerFu's life difficult but I feel that we are at a dead-end already and we have already tried numerous ways to boost our NT team the old fashion way by getting more players via:
1. Introduction to friends
2. MMP program
3. Malaysia Local forum (Lowyat Forum) http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1046036
But these methods did not increase our users by much, in fact I feel it is still stagnant at a little over 100.
The only other way we can help our NT team have a brighter future within 3-5 seasons time is to do option 2 and to do that we need TerFu's help as the U21 NT coach.

Anyway, here are the 4 players you added into the list (Again there is 1 inactive manager out of the 4 zzzz)
(15028464) is under The Fabolous and has MVP potential
(15028473) is under Soul Krazy and has HoF potential
(15028483) is under super attack and is inactive (last active 27 May)
(15028157) is under StarLight Breaker and has Perennial Allstar potential

Since TerFu has agreed to go ahead with Option 2, I thought I might as well contribute a bit and scour Malaysian BB for homeless kids and here is what I got:

II.1
No potential homeless kids

II.2
(15029067) Allstar $4,210 PG 6'5" (Last active 5 June)
(15028246) Perennial Allstar $4,007 PG 6'0" (Last active 13 June)
(15028179) Superstar $4,807 SF 6'5" (Last active 5 June)*

II.3
No potential homeless kids

II.4
(15028483) Perennial Allstar $3,657 PF 7'0" (Last active 27 May)*

III.1
(15028159) Superstar $4,087 C 6'10" (Last active 24 May)*
(15028166) Perennial Allstar $3,957 PG 6'3" (Last active 30 May)*

III.2
(15029100) Perennial Allstar $4,876 SG 6'6" (Last active 3 June)

III.3 till III.16
No potential homeless kids

The above is filtered with the following criteria:
Age: 18yo
Potential: min Allstar
Salary: min $3,500
Last active: 1 week from today (Before 28 June)

Note: * means already covered in AhMoi's list

Actually I noticed a LOT of 19yo with good potential but I did not share it as I wanted to target 18yo only.

Anyway, I believe it takes 6 weeks of inactivity before a team becomes a bot, so we should really look at those players inactive since May.
