Subject: US National team

I would look as soon as the election ends, as even though I have access to the database I dont look at it for individual players or teams.

Based on the ones I scouted I have a good idea at least for the starting line. But can change once I could look at all imported players.

those are the top one i scouted myself. there are more top players in my queue.

wings
Jay Woodall , Logan Mallory , Frederick Schneider

pivots
Jeff Rice , Hugh Draper

backs
Chris McGregor , Mario Tubbs , Sylvan Phelan , Joshua Chase

goalies
Lucius Donaldson -> i need to scout more goalies as i had scouted only 2.

I didnt miss him Stacey Wells

why would you play 16 year old 5/6's ?

i mentioned the top players i have scouted. Did not analyse, did not chose and would not do until i would look to all players imported (not just the ones i imported)

I am not the nt manager so not worried yet. If i am not voted Id not even need to worry.

And regarding to 16 5/6 .. some 16 6/6 could easily be 5/6 next season too and both be 17 5/6. And this one could even become 4/6 before.

a player that started at 15yo 6/6 is not bad even though he is 5/6 now.

So far I selected 16 players based on effective quality and effective OR.

I have noticed most players lack on blocking. Increasing a bit could help us.

The remaning ones (I can select up to 30 players) I will try to get ones more focused on effective quality instead of current OR. Ideally, I would want a full team (7 players or 8 if I consider 2 goalies) with top EQ and hopefully no older than 16 yo.

As our team is mainly focused on offense, I will also get a few defensive specialty players. I alreagy got a couple.

I am sure the deacline to call for cup is aproaching soon. As it stands I have 2 slots free. And 4 players did not make in the lineup yet leaving 2 lineup slots free, so there is also room for modifications.

What's our lineup look like specifically player wise?

so far ....

GK: William Jack & Pascale Baumgartner

Offence | Defence
PV: Jeff Rice | Ronald Thomas
LW: Logan Mallory | Troy Snodgrass
RW: Jay Woodall | Frederick Schneider
LB: Mario Tubbs | Mario Tubbs
CB: Torrence Becks | Joshua Chase
RB: Stacey Wells | Stacey Wells

PS: It does not mean this is the lineup, but sorted them by offence, defence and all around. Players on both offense and defense are the all-around ones.

postedd above. Goalies are very likely going to share same time.

Biggest issue i see is the lack of many friendlies before the World Championship: only 3.

Arenas .. we will play in multiple arenas as each home games we have a different better arena

so far

Friendlies prior to world championship: [handball_team=15889]

1st home: [handball_team=15935].Not 100% sure it will be ready, if not [handball_team=15889]

2nd home: [handball_team=15935]

3rd home: [handball_team=16031]

4th home: [handball_team=15881]

Friendlies after world championship: [handball_team=15881]

this is of course if nothing changes until the matches.

hahaha. the whole roster should have that disclaimer. ("this is of course if nothing changes until the matches"

Right now, national team is very much a moving target lol. I don't envy you.

No kidding!!! Not sure if players can be changed during the qualification. I am hoping I can considering the length of it.

Yesterday there was a message saying it could not be changed. Now it is not there anymore.

Why are the bottom two OR players on the NT?

USA Hyman Kirby USA Big fatty cats Not scouted 17 289
0 USA Ron Williams USA Pballas The player has been called up for the upcoming match. Not scouted 17 228

Ron Williams may be an experiment: A player whose only goal is to shoot the 7m. I will experiment him on our first friendly.

Kirby: very high effective quality. He is also being trained as all around back instead of offensive only. Most of our top players are mainly offensive.

Also, I am still in process of selecting players. Some will be dropped.

Thats the manager they voted for.
