A discord chat is a good idea. I use that from time to time but i'm also useless with it. I never found the offsite to be that engaging personally, i prefer a chat based format to the forum base that it is on the offsite. And because you had to be authorised was irritating because some people were just never accepted.

The issue with cooperation is what you've stated, people are hesistant to share stats. As the NT coach i can help guide anyone who is willing to train with an intention on filling a gap in the NT. Chances are they'd make the NT more frequently if the coach attempted to fill a hole as opposed to training their own way.

If you figure out how to use the discord chat, let me know and we can circulate it. I for one would use it :)

Hey guys so the squad has been selected for the season, i may add one or two other players when i see fit but the guys i have picked will be the base of most of our games this season. As you can see we have pretty much a familiar squad with every player featuring last season. Could be the send off season for the iconic duo of Innes and Mac so enjoy them whilst they are still around :)

Well game 1 is in the books against Andorra...not the result i was hoping for at all. I think i need to go back to the drawing board and look at some rotations because something didn't go right today. This isn't a game we should be losing but granted they guessed correctly some how which probably won them the game. We're going to struggle against inside dominant teams going forward due to our short big rotation, it caught up with us today with them playing 200k bigs at SF/PF/C, we move on from this game though and just try to win as many as we can.

You have a player you want to train for your national team ?

Whatever his future position will be, whatever his skills are, start with at least one full season of 1vs1 on SF/PF.

Then contact a national coach.


This is currently the message that appears on English players over 21, I think it needs updating.

How did we lose 3 quarters against Romania (and almost the game)? Isn't our inside D a bit (and consistently) low for this level?

The problem we have right now is that two of our best NT players we've had in the form of Innes and Mac are dropping at a consistent level now and we frankly don't have the backups to replace them. We're lacking in up and coming bigs so at this point its really a state of having to make do with the bigs we have, we're insanely fragile there right now. There is a few fringe NT bigs who i can't use due to one of them playing 48 minutes every game for his game and having no higher than 6 GS on a weekly basis. Osman and Alburger are solid but they're our only real useable bigs for starting a NT game right now if we want to be able to contend with the 240k salary beasts most nations have at C and even then we'll struggle, just having a rotation of two bigs and two who are dropping at a high rate is pretty scary
