There's been a last addition to the roster : (49685782)
Taskin is trained by JohnSnow, he's not ready yet but I can tell you.. Winter is coming !
His training plan is followed by mink0ff and his future is really bright with your NT. He'll start gaining some experience in next games and will much probably be a starter next season.

It would be good to notice that John Snow's last login was 2 weeks ago. Perhaps, a future promising free agent is on the way?

Yep that's why I selected him last friday while he was still not ready. I wanted to make sure he was still trained, which is the case.
You'll be warned soon enough by mink0ff or me if he ends on transfer list !
But let's hope it won't happen and JohnSnow will reconnect soon enough :)

No, that's not an issue. JohnSnow logs rarely but steadily and training is perfect. That's the same manager who trained Iliyan Chachev. Botification will not be a problem and "The engineer" will not be a free agent anytime soon.

Given the standings in our group, monday will most likely be our last game in the tournament.
I'm a bit disappointed because I feel we could have done better with another schedule and better tactical choices from myself.
Anyways, monday might then be the last game of our 21yo players so I hope this will be a nice game to watch !

See you on monday

Review of the season - U21 European Championship Tournament

Here is a little summary of our journey in this European Tournament, which ended last monday.


Final ranking of our first phase pool

1-Israel U21 7-0 (+283)
2-France U21 5-2 (+161)
3-Bulgaria U21 5-2 (+98)
4-Latvija U21 5-2 (+67)
5-Ireland U21 3-4 (-48)
6-Shqipëria U21 2-5 (-246)
7-Ukraina U21 1-6 (-96)
8-Cyprus U21 0-7 (-219)


Global analysis

Even if we managed to finish 2 places higher than what I first predicted, there is a bit of disappointment to come so close to qualifying.
When I say "so close", it might be exagerated, considering I did all I could to maximize our Point Average and we were still 63 points behind France, who ended with a TIE, which they might not have done if we were closer to their PA.
Our only chance would have been to beat France or Israel during our direct confrontations, but the gap was a bit too big this season, and the risks I took didn't work. Also, we should remember that half of the team was made of 20yo players, which isn't the case of these top nations.
Another good thing is we already gained 10 places in world ranking, being now 37th.


Season rewards

6th man : Nedim Göksu (5 games played - 7,1pts at 53% 5,1rbd 1,6ast - MVP of 4th game)

MVP : Varban Kratunkov


What's next

I will scout once again all of our 18 to 20 yo prospects and select the top 18 in order to prepare for next season.
It starts on monday with a scrimmage against Nederlands U21, which will be hosted by the Snatch, as a little reward for his training and game shape management of our MVP Varban Kratunkov.

Thanks everyone for your support. I hope next season will be even more successful !

Getting applaused by Nicholson, who is a true fan of basketball, that means a lot ! :P

The first scrimmage went pretty well, showing that we can face a top 25 team. I proposed a rematch to the coach of Nederlands so that we can learn a bit more about our roster.
Don't worry about the defense ratings, we (and our opponent) had a TS of 1, given I scouted every young Bulgarians this weekend.

I might write a post more specifically about it, but if anyone of you wants to join me, that would be really appreciated. I need help with training plan follow up (I didn't get many answers after I contacted every manager, and the fact that I can't speak bulgarian might not help). Also a bit of scouting on the transfer market could be useful.
