Blank works for lots of reasons this is one of them.


You tell me how it would put either of those players back in the game.
Canada as I'm sure you are aware has limited talent this season.
The best replacements ended up playing anyways.
We lost because of those injuries not because he played without blank lineup.

Its simple. In set line up, substitutions are preset and they dont take into account exhaustion, etc. Thats why you have starting lineup play similar minutes. In blank, once a player becomes winded and ineffective, he gets subbed out and then comes back on when one of the players on court becomes less effective than player on the bench would be. This is simple, and I believe only way to maximize the resources available to a team. ANY game that is that close with set lineup used would be won fairly comfortably with blank. Just look at the game with Chile....... Team ratings look much better than during games before and after it. If you dont want to take my word for it or beanerz'.....just email any manager that had significant success in this game and you will hear exactly the same thing.

Why would you have any reason that we want anything but the best for Canadian U21 team and want to give advice that actually works?

Other than some have shown some significant personal bias in their previous comments, nothing really.
Everything you wrote here makes sense.

Imagine I was the NT Coach.
IO wouldn't want Stavridis playing at Center or not playing at
all because that is the reason blank lineups don't work.
So as Morwood said, we shouldn't have coaches if we use blank lineups.

The results show that blank lineups do work unless you make a mistake like LPP did last league game or I did in finals 2 seasons ago. But it is entirely on the coach not to mess it up. And there is plenty more to do. Need to scout, plan, researc, set tactics, manager enthusiasm, use GDP if needed.

With blank lineup we would have won against Brazil and South Africa. I have no doubts about it.

I completely agree.

Sparky for the record if both NT centers got hurt and you were playing blank you would likely see either a PF or SF move into that spot. Is blank perfect? No not at all but it is far and away the best option for balanced teams where training and minutes played don't matter. As has been said countless times the only thing that can make it go sideways is the failure to set it correctly.

And Morwood
I completely agree with you.
I have never played a league game with blank lineup though I should say
that I now have in the Utopian private league and probably won a game I normally wouldn't have.
Kind of torn here.
I really believe both sides of this argument are making sense.
Been a learning experience for young Sparky.
Smart kid will find his way.

So what you are saying is that we shouldnt choose NT managers that do their best to win? I am sorry, but NT is not personal managers playground. It is here for the community and to show off strength of it to people from other countries.

Man, they really need to get rid of Blank Lineup. You know something shouldn't be in the game when people would rather lose games than use it.
