First they need to come into the U21 or NT, if not they will be directly retired.

Be aware of the enthusiasm drop though guys when you drop a player (later on in the season). Make sure it's actually worth saving that player.

PS. You guys are doing a great job.

What do u mean?

The Enthusiasm of the NT always drops a bit when you release a player from the squad. And if you release to many players (which you'll probably do after they're saved and on the TL) then the NT (or U21 for that matter) will have to play with an enthusiasm of about 1 ...

It's no problem to put a player into the roster, there is no drop of enthusiasm, but if you have to fire a guy, than the NT/U21 lose enthusiasm... so we need to be careful, cause we need to have 12-14 "normal" players, too. => We (Taintum and me) can just sace both around 4 players.

I see, never knew that, but then I never managed NT's

I guess this is your turn on saving players Bock coz I'm doing the main champ this year. of corse if some players are good enough to be saved and be also part of U-21 I can call them up otherwise I have to wait the end of season (or when I've no chance in NT tournament). I'll have a look these days anyway.Thanks for your work in getting these player noticed...

I think, we both (!) should save at least 4 players. Your tournament ends at 17th of may, cause i think the chance that the U21 qill qualify for the EURO is not real big.

=> The U21 and Senior team need around 14 "real" players, so 4 places to save.

=> I think for the senior team it's not possible to save at the moment all the three players... cause they are real needles for the team.


so... I saved the both 19y players... the other guy is your job.

I suggest you both to save as many interesting prospects as possible and don't care to much about enthusiasm.
The competitiveness of Scotland NTs as of today is pretty low and 1 victory more or less doesn't make much of a difference, while saving good players could strongly help the NTs in the coming seasons.

I did a study of Scottish teams and I think there will be problems.
there are only 2 teams that train PF and C, LastDrop (2 C currently in NT21) and Ice Fiord Viking (3 C 1 currently in NT21) (last login 16/3).
Teams that train SG and PG :
Mount orion 3 players (2 currently in NT21)
gaidhealtachd 2 players ( 1 currently in NT21)
Orkney CabberTosser 2 players ( 1 currently in NT21)
templar cavaliers 1 player currently in NT21
Dundee baby shark 1/2 players
new eastland wolverines 1 player

Blue Heaven train SG and PG but not Scottish players

Abbey Road train SF??

I don't understand these teams: (age of players/new teams)
Golden Grahams
Glasgow wildcats
jonnys jumpers
Fc Lechia
mastick
Fluffy cushion
international Edinburgh
eastside ballerz
university of Aberdeen
geminy
whitehill addison
Fraserburgh
the Glasgow falcons
bennets babes
zackster
scottish leo
dunkards

I found these players:
13643608 POT 4 PF last login 22/3
11048935 POT 5 age 20 (good now for NT21) last login 4/3
11275495 POT 7 C last login 16/3
13896413 POT 7 age 18 last login 4/3
14049989 POT 6 age 19 C last login 21/3
14068117 POT 5 age 18 SF last login 24/3
14068126 POT 6 age 18 C last login 24/3
14068129 POT 5 age 18 PG last login 24/3

but you shouldn't forget, that many scotish talents were trained in other countries.

I have for example one 19y SG, which will be ok for the U21 in two seasons;

the most of the scotish NT-players play in other countries.

=> So we have different "problems"

1) to save players... as I wrote this is a task for Taintum an me.

2) to train players

3) to train players even if they are allready 22! That's the biggest problem for the NT. Just three players at the moment get training. For example our best PG gets no training! But our Centers, too.
