Hello Gents,

My knowledge on the U21 is zero, but I was wondering about the different strategies when establishing a team at the start of a season. I notice the Aussies have their squad up for view and yes I understand this can change and probably will. I have a young potential USA rep and their coach sent me the following.

Hello potential season 25 USA U21 manager! I'm checking in, as I've done with many of you for a while now, to let you know your player is under consideration for the team. The Worlds start on October 14th, which means I will be picking the initial roster of 8-10 players between the October 11th game shape update and the first game. There's no need to let me know your player's skills, as I can scout him over the next few weeks. But what I would like to know is what do you plan to train this season?

Their U21 roster has only 1 player visible. Are there any tactical benefits to this?

Sure, for teams in the world cup, they don't start playing for a few weeks, so no point adding anyone now since it will just let their opponents know what players they have.

We are in a different situation, we are currently playing games in the repacharge to try to get into the world cup. So having one player isn't really an option ;)

As mllama said. We started games last Monday and our team was not final till 24 hours before. We need to win our pool to make the World Cup. Only about 20 teams are playing atm and the rest start soon.

Cool, thanks guys. As I said I know next to zero about national teams so thanks for the knowledge. I will let you know if my guy makes it as it would be an interesting comparison on his skills v our PG skills.

Here is another USA message.

Hello,

I am a US National Team scout and I was wondering about your player. I was wondering what your plans are for him? Do you plan on training him? The US National Team staff and I have very high hopes for him! If you are not training him, I humbly ask that you sell him. With his age/potential you could make a LOT of $ and it would be a great waste to not train or sell him. Please let me know what your plans are :)

I would also like to invite you to join the offsite forum: http://s3.zetaboards.com/BuzzerBeater_USA_NT/index/. On the offsite we have several great tools you can use including a training planner, attendance helper, matchup predictor, etc as well as a great community of American managers who will give you advice on your player and your team! If you sign up please let me know so that we can approve your account.

Check out our U21 training guide: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thread=233858&m=1

Feel free to contact me at anytime if you have any questions.

I'm back from my 3000km+ road trip holiday and will back into full swing once I have a good sleep.
We still have a small chance of making the world cup but either way we have a lot of games to go this season.

Still looking for a couple of people to help with mentoring training of future 21 NT players. We have really been short of players compared to other nations. Had a few stars but outside of our starters there is a big drop while the nations we are taking on the be the best have a longer list of players to pick from.

3 way battle to make the world cup tonight.

We need MExico to beat Turkey (They CTed last game and have lost their best player to injury) and then we win by enough to cover them and MExico on PD. Either way we start a new comp next week and have a long season to go.
