A suggestion (since this is the Suggestion forum). Why not give the NT-coaches an additional option to shortlist some players? If sacked from a team, players on the NT shortlist would be released to the TL as free agents, rather than end their careers. A feature like this would have no impact on NT game shape like releasing/adding players would have.

I believe this would be fair to the NT-coaches (including helpers) that from my experience devote a lot of time mapping out and keeping track of talent, giving advice to owners, and so on. Might seem trivial to some, but it's unbelievably shitty to see prospects perish like this. If I wanted to keep those really into the game (people around the NT) motivated, I'd do something about this..

I thought I read somewhere that the NT coach could raise the dead by putting retired players on a list somewhere (like on the NT or U21 roster maybe). Isn't that why so many crappy players from Barbados and Jamacia keep on popping up as free agents?

Ok, thanks.

On a different note this Riaud seems to have become such a BB "celebrety" that perhaps he does need to become a free agent. How many players outside your league can you name?

I think having genuine star players with names that everyone does know is good for the game.

Now we can argue about the fact that in the real world some NT players might play in the second league in a foreing country, but I think we all can agree that no NT player will play in the second league of their own country!

So perhaps there should be a restriction of appointing players into the NT


germany played with Robin Benzing(2cd german league) and Elias Harris(3rd German league) at the european competition in Poland last year^^

So overall a silly rule.

I agree completely. Regardless of that there is other reasons to appoint a player to NT and I am sure you didnt think about a U21 NT etc. More code - more room for a bug/bad design an for what?

Surely a new country with no good players yet would be pleased to have such restricitons possibly making it impossible to populate a national team if all managers decided to go for fotreign player to "get better now" of when thre wouldnt be many active teams in their I.1 (due to inactivity, banned teams - multiteams or wahtever, etc.).

The rule can only bring unforeseen problems and ddint really bring any sense or value to the game. Plus every counttry is different. I dont know why I shouldnt have a NT player in second league (or any lower). Logically in such scenario I want to get better and compete with Div 1 team sooner or later and I could build a team for such a goal including good domestic players because there is a merchandise "discount" in them.
