Those 22 year olds... are they currently 21? As in, turning 22?
I have a 22 year old in my 2nd team (turning 23 monday) that has TSP 91, figured he was way behind in development for his age group but now im not as certain?

As in, turning 22

Yes, I already took the new age, which will be valid from Tuesday on.

The season is almost over and it's time for the next overview. The age is already one year higher (for season 39).

Player pool:
TSP = total skill points

The season is over, it's time for the next overview.

Tuikkala (27460888), 35 years, SF, 121 TSP (-6). He lost a lot. The next season will be his last.

Tjädermo (28622932), 34 years, PF/C, 132 TSP (-1). He had some downs, but managed to get two ups this season. He should have enough in his tank for one more season.

Widerström (28622847), 34 years, no position, 129 TSP (-3). Still strong and will see some minutes.

Fredriksson (30857798), 32 years, PG, 126 TSP (+0). Played some important minutes and will stay as one of the main guards.

Wedling (30858004), 32 years, SF, 117 TSP (+0). With the upcoming numbers of younger SFs, he is one of the players who could miss the NT.

Gijon (31909798), 31 years, C, 118 TSP (+0). One of the main defense pillars.

Birgersson (33689846), 29 years, PF, 131 TSP (+1). Was sold and plays now on a unsteady level. It would be a hard blow if he can't be used.

Carlsson (34495290), 28 years, G, 109 TSP (+3). One of the next SFs.

Säfen (35350416), 27 years, SG, 129 TSP (+3). THE guard. I don't know if there was a better combo guard in Sweden before.

Sunesson (36171202), 27 years, G, 119 TSP (+6). Played some good games. Still gets training and will help the NT to improve.

Stjärnland (36976134), 26 years, G/SF, 122 TSP (+5). Improved his defense and looks like the possible next starting SF.

Dehllund (36171465), 27 years, C, 95 TSP (+3). Together with the other defens bigs, he can sustain a high level of defense for us. Gets the last touches.

Lagerhall (36171154), 26 years, C, 106 TSP (+6). Made the step to the NT and will play the next seasons. Still some capspace left.

Smol (36975202), 26 years, G, 120 TSP (+8). Another great season from him with a lot of progress. His skills are balanced and he is one of the potential starter for the PG position for the next seasons.

Westerlund (36975313), 25 years, C, 123 TSP (+10). Another moster. With his height he trains still fast and has already a lot of skills. With the decline of Tjädermo and the uncertain situation with Birgersson, he has to step up.

Lövlind (36975297), 25 years, G/F, 114 TSP (+7). His passing is almost finished. After that, Mr. "I can defend every position" has to bring his defense to the NT level.

Tjäderborg (36975226), 26 years, PF/C, 107 TSP (+7). Inside training. Every up brings him nearer to the NT.

Danielsson (37787598), 25 years, C, 107 TSP (+8). Great inside skills. He can play every tactic and be a weapon on both side, offense and defense. Still gets training and will improve.

P. Hakansson (38342655), 24 years, SG, 98 TSP (+2). Almost no progress this season.

Johansson (37787040), 24 years, 114 TSP (+7). Outside skills like a guard. Now he need inside skills to be a great Forward.

Falken (37787327), 24 years, PG, 98 TSP (+5). Has to train his outside skills. The basics are good.

Tunglund (38588455), 23 years, G, 98 TSP (+21). A phenomale growth. More OD and JR and he will turn out as a strong guard!

Mikaelsson (39342977), 23 years, F, 79 TSP (+8). Received defense training and will switch now to his offense game.

Hakansson (39342734), 23 years, G, 79 TSP (+4). Almost no progress. On the watch list.

Waller (39343056), 23 years, G, 88 TSP (+5). Also on the watch list.

Gustavsson (38588303), 23 years, G, 104 TSP. Fantastic progress and a fast training speed. On hi sbest way to the NT. Training schedule is set.

Martinsson (39342531), 22 years, G, 98 TSP. Another young and really good guard.

Höstner (39342611), 22 years, SF, 97 TSP. Well balanced SF. Great prospect.

Kindander (38588478), 24 years, G/SF, 96 TSP. On the watch list. He has to make some progress to bring him closer to the other SF prospects.

Flodgren (38589074), 24 years, big, 93 TSP. A very balanced inside foundation. But now it's time to start pushing his main skills.

Ahlhult (39342633), 22 years, G, 92 TSP. The basics are done. Now the real deal (outside skills) begins.

Lennartsson (39343265), 22 years, C, 72 TSP. A completely inside skills player. It's unclear if the lack of his guard skills will bring him close enough to the NT. On the watch list.

The "Wedling" case:
There is now a special case, I will call it the Wedling case. The reason for this name is Erik Wedling and his "low" potential of 8. We have two more players who could turn out as interessting players.

Dehlflod (36975273), 26 years, G, 121 TSP. He is Smols training and team partner. Unfortunately only with a potential 8. Still he is very interessting and if there is still some cap space left an he gets ups, he could turn out as a NT player.

Hammarstrand (36975203), 25 years, C, 107 TSP. I saw Hammarstrands "final" skill set. I everything goes according to the plan, his planned skills will be on the same level like the NTs.

Potential 8 is in most cases too low. But sometimes there are players which surpass it and can help the team. Wedling was such a player. He had always better stats than his skill set and potential would suggest.


There is a big group of 18-21 years old players which I didn't mention. As soon as they come out of the U21, they will be a topic for the NT.

When I started training Wedling I thought that his potential doubtlessly would be sufficient to become a really good SF but now the standard is so high that he "only" became mainly a 2nd-3rd choice despite such "high" potential. So it really is difficult to get a spot with lower than MVP potential nowadays. Remember the old days when Stefan Yngvesson was regular as SF with Perennial allstar despite many more users.

I still will do my best to train my 18 year old superstar for a future spot in the national team. He could even be better than Wedling as Wedling is only in mid-rage of the cap skill so it might be possible to train more to avoid cap. My other two U21 prospects will have no such future though as allstar and perennial allstar is pretty much impossible to have for a national team spot. I will have to settle with two seasons in the matchday squad for U21 for both of them.

I know a guy in this bunch. I doubt he will be anything though. Supporting swedish player is perfectly okey.

One thing i noticed during my tenure: training and trends go in waves.
When I took over, we had no good small forwards, played either a SG or a PF.
A few seasons later, we had 3 starting caliber SFs, all very balanced but without super edge anyhwere. But no true SGs. So its good that weve got more input as to whos training what now and more of a structure around the team.
Hultén also played alot for me but Killmar was already obsolete, an old dinosaur with a high salery :)

71 Outside skill points och 37 inside skill points om jag räknar rätt. Totalt 108. Wedling har Skill Points: 117 (66/51) så är betydligt starkare inside men lite sämre outside vilket känns lite oväntat då jag tycker jag lagt lite för mycket krut på det och det tagit lång tid innan han närmade sig capning. Huvudproblemet var nog främst dock att jag hade lite väl mycket lagträning när han var yngre.

Today wa the last training od this season and it's again time to take an overview. The age is already one year higher (for season 40).

Player pool:
TSP = total skill points

Tjädermo (28622932), 35 years, PF/C, 131 TSP (-1). Let's take the ride for the (maybe) last NT season.

Fredriksson (30857798), 33 years, PG, 126 TSP (+0). With the upcoming of the new guards, his time will decrease.

Gijon (31909798), 32 years, C, 118 TSP (+0). Always in great shape and the main pillar for all our defense tactics.

Birgersson (33689846), 30 years, PF, 131 TSP (+0). He missed the last season but now he's back and ready. More or less the binding link between outside and inside.

Säfen (35350416), 28 years, SG, 129 TSP (+0). THE FORCE ;) A worldwide top 10 guard.

Sunesson (36171202), 28 years, G, 120 TSP (+1). Has to fight for his spot and it will depend on the tactics. But still part of the NT.

Stjärnland (36976134), 27 years, G/SF, 126 TSP (+4). Still not strong enough to close the gap to the top players, but plays some important minutes.

Dehllund (36171465), 28 years, C, 101 TSP (+6). Still waiting for his big game. One of our "tanks".

Lagerhall (36171154), 27 years, C, 107 TSP (+1). Surprised with his game and game shape. He is one of the main bigs for our game.

Smol (36975202), 27 years, G, 124 TSP (+4). He had a good season and changed the team. A lot will depend on his game shape and further developement.

Westerlund (36975313), 26 years, PF/C, 128 TSP (+5). He gives me still some unsolved problems. Coming from a fantastic game, he can collapse the next week against weaker player...

Lövlind (36975297), 26 years, G/F, 119 TSP (+5). Our defender works on his other skills. Very balanced and a hell of a supporting player.

Tjäderborg (36975226), 27 years, PF/C, 113 TSP (+6). His inside training pays of. His salary is a huge joke compaired to his skills.

Danielsson (37787598), 26 years, C, 108 TSP (+1). It looks like he capped. But still a strong big.

Johansson (37787040), 25 years, 120 TSP (+6). Currently somewhere between SF and on his way to a PF.

Falken (37787327), 25 years, PG, 104 TSP (+6). Moves towards a more defensive profile.

Tunglund (38588455), 24 years, G, 107 TSP (+9). Again a strong season. With his next step he will improve his current weakpoints.

Mikaelsson (39342977), 24 years, F, 90 TSP (+11).

Gustavsson (38588303), 24 years, G, 111 TSP (+7). With a huge leap, he is already Säfen's co guard. Fantastic offense and defense, and still progressing!

Martinsson (39342531), 23 years, G, 109 TSP (+11). The second young guard who is already knocking on the NT door. As soon as he gets in the NT, there will be three heavy skilled SGs ;)

Höstner (39342611), 23 years, SF, 107 TSP (+10). Great prospect, great developement.

Kindander (38588478), 25 years, G/SF, 102 TSP (+6). On the watch list.

Ahlhult (39342633), 23 years, G, 97 TSP (+5). It's time for the main skills.

Dehlflod (36975273), 27 years, G, 124 TSP (+3). He was a help last season and could play an important role.

Hammarstrand (36975203), 26 years, C, 107 TSP (+6). A very interessting supporting tank. Hard to play, but good to have ;)

Molen (40186543), 22 years, G, 97 TSP. Another young guard who trains fast and could end up as an factor in the NT.
