Subject: USA U-18 Team

Could you scout U18 Sweden (hockey.powerplaymanager.c... ), starting with the players Sweden seems to be using in games?

If Mattsupersteelers and Headhog let me know exactly who they have for Serbia, I can work on the rest of their roster. I'm over 160% scouting until my head manager retires in 40 days.

I have the first line for Serbia. But that all I have. Who has the goalie? Trifun Samčović- Bogdan Tomić- Đorđe Simić- Bogdan Tomić- and - Trifun Samčović. All the first line.

For anyone who's interested, they actually have 4 of their players on the market, set to expire around 5:50pm (ET) on Friday.

I have the entire second line.

Have starting goalie and first line of Swed team on my scouting list. How would you like me to relay the information to you?

The easiest way to send the information is to highlight and copy the player page from the scouting icon to the AvQ and paste into a message.

Do you need me cover the Serbia goalie? I am getting some mangers with really good scouting coming in. (man they cost a lot) So my scouting should be faster. I may be able to cover him if someone else can not take him.

I've got lines 3 & 4 and both goalies from the last game.

Thanks again to everyone that has been helping with scouting the opponents!

Last Saturday, the United beat one of its opponents in the upcoming World Championships, the Czech Republic, 3-2. This is especially impressive since the United States is still resting a lot of its best players who already have great chemistry.

The remainder of the team has been doing well in terms of chemistry. There are 5 17 year olds in the lineup gaining chemistry for next season (which should in term help to build chemistry for the following season). Langston and Isaksson (who are still gaining the training bonus on the bench) will be back in the lineup in two weeks, and Neely (this season's star player) will be back in the lineup in three weeks.

Next week, the United States will face Spain.

I noticed something interesting about the Czech team - 3 managers seem to be buying all of the best Czech U18 players and giving them nicknames with smiley faces. 3 teams account for over 30 of the U18 worthy Czech players.

Unfortunately, my team is just now getting close to finishing the big 4 facilities (the stadium's already complete), so I won't be bidding 200,000,000 on ten of the best U.S. prospects any time soon. Even so, something like this has been discussed in the past, to keep elite prospects in the United States.

In addition, it seems that these three teams are starting all of these players as well.

Its basically the [hockey_team=5902] team, because almost all of the good players are on that team. Do you think we can still beat them come May 30th. The U18 WCH game against Czech?

The United States just beat them in an exhibition, even without the best players from the United States, so it's definitely possible. Two seasons ago, the United States beat another one of the top teams in the group stage, Slovakia, though that was mostly a matter of good luck. There are certain advantages that the United States will have, though I won't go into detail in the forum.

With all that said, it will be hard to beat them. I think that the Netherlands will be the key to advancing and that Russia will be more beatable, though I can't say anything too definite until scouting is done for those three teams.

In any case, I think the Czech strategy would be a good one for the United States, though I don't think anyone would be willing to sacrifice playing in I.1 to play a team of 18 year olds or be willing to save and spend billions to guarantee that they get all of the best U.S. prospects.

I am running ahead of schedule for scouting. I can take a few extra players if you need me too. I got some managers with really good scouting.

Those three teams are already covered.
