Hi mate, quick question i hope you can answer me.

How exactly does the 18 yo trick works?? Ill explain how I untestand it, please correct em if I'm wrong

The outgoing manager, after the draft, has to fill the U21 roster with 18 yo from userless teams
On Moday, 29th these 18 yo's automatically go to the transfer list??
The U21 manager has to do somethign special in order to get them in the team or putting them up for sale??

Hi mate, quick question i hope you can answer me.

Bah, you think we would give any trade secrets away to help the Mexican U21 after you crunched our U21 last season for no apparent reason?

Ok, after saying that, I can give you the following tips:

-if you add a player to your U21 or NT and his owner goes bot, he is automatically transfer listed at the economic update where his team was botified.
-no further action is required, everything happens automatically. It is basically the same as all the other players who are getting listed at the moment because their salary is in the 10k+ range. There is probably just a flag somewhere that the BBs can turn on and off, but the U21 and NT flag is always on.
-you can drop them from the team immediately after they hit the transfer list. However, you can only post transfer ads in your country's forum if the following two conditions hold: they are on the U21 or NT team AND they are currently on the transfer list. So if you want to post a transfer ad, you will need to keep them on the team for a few days.

Deleted the U21 transfer ads. I was sorry to see Shackleford and Manseau end up on the same team, I cannot see how their training would fit together. So maybe this exercise was futile.

Instead of going over the various tracking pools, I will probably hold a mini-camp instead. I will invite who I think are the players who have the best shot at making the team next season. You will probably be shocked to see quite a few 19 year olds on the list. I am still putting things together but hope to have something up by this weekend.

The Swiss have asked me to play a 20 and under line-up on Monday and I will probably oblige (assuming that I actually set a line-up this time).

Well, I threw out what I thought was the best U20 line-up for today's game. It did not go over so well.

Also, another saved player hit the TL today. Not a fantastic prospect but he has HOF potential:

(no longer on team so removed)

Three more players hit the TL today, thanks to some good work by The Mogul. I don't know if any of them have a serious shot at the U21 but maybe the NT if trained right:

That was a good scrimmage against Belgium today. It's great to see the new guys running around and making plays. Winning is also always fun, even if the game was just a scrimmage. :)

That game could have gotten ugly if their SG did not take 30 shots. On the flip side, teams will have a tough time running an inside offense against us with Moran and Perkins in there, even if we do throw out a 3-2 zone.

I'm surprised by the numbers Moran put up, considering you used a run-and-gun approach. Perhaps I should try something similar with my team in an upcoming match in the not-too-distant future.

I would have to watch the match to see where Moran took his shots from. But if the majority were jump shots, I would say that the only thing you can draw from that is that their C had atrocious outside d. Plus do not forget that the enthusiasm for both teams was in the cellar.

Moran is a great player, though. Too bad we can't put together a dream team and have Milot at PG to pass him the ball.
