Asunto: U20/U17 - Soccer

I can focus on 15 and 16 year-olds.

I've been using up my excess scouting on guys on the Senior scouting list. I could switch to U17 or U20, but I don't know which would be most valuable.

Was Vern Perrin not good enough for u20

UncleSamuel hasn't added any players to the U20 team yet.

And he doesn't have an assistant. Anyone stepping up for that? We need someone just in case he pulls a TalonCarde

He still has 5 days. Though the website with its projections should help to some extent, it does take a lot of time to sift through all the players to choose a team. I think he posted at some point that he already had an idea of who will be on the team.

I thought Wilmott wanted to help out with the 17-U team? Shawn Bridges Would be the best option off of my team--

He has 3 days to schedule a game for Saturday, select and call up players for that game, and choose a stadium (if it's a home game). The lineup and tactics can be selected Saturday before the game, but scheduling and calling up players must occur before the nightly update on Friday night. An assistant being selected would be preferred as well. National team schedules fill up very fast, so most of the teams already have full calendars.

You should send him this info. Along with any other deadline type info for NT teams. Maybe he doesn't realize the crunch is coming.

He's been online lately, but hasn't posted in here since the 24th!?

I was interested in being the assistant for the U20 team, since I've got a lot of those guys scouted already.

I was just trying to be optimistic. Hopefully he does start to take action with everything as soon as possible.

Looking through the schedules of the teams the United States will play to qualify for the World Cup, most of them (except for India) do have most or all of their schedule set.

Wilmott would be a good choice for assistant.

he should have access to players attributes/qualities from players of 18 and 20 years from my website just like wilmot and Mouth Breathers have for their respective age range.

Too bad the senior Team manager can oversee everything---

So, for those of you that are keeping score at home. Friendly matches have been scheduled - except for this Saturday....still working on that, plan to have something scheduled here quickly - and the lineups, rosters are nearly complete. What the roster looks like thus far is as follows (the number to the right is the match rating of the latest match played at the given position):


Goalie
Kenneth Shipp – 25
Ron Ward – 23

Defense
LD Dave Eaton – 25
LD Ben Keen – 27
LD Stewart Beadle – 25
CD Otto Hammons – 27
CD Peter Varney – 25
LD Steven Gates – 24
RD Tony Strauss – 25
CD Wayne Clark – 21
RD Alexander Ruffin -- 23

Midfield
CM Norman Chester – 26
CM Bill Elliott – 27
RM Ed Crenshaw – 24
CM Pascale Howard – 27
CM Marlin Fripp – 21
RM Nate Dylan – 26
CM Tyrone Pryor – 23
LM Maynard Perez – 27
Charles Doughtry
CM Tim Hammons – 26
CM Julian Hopkins – 27
CM Leonard Stamper – 22

Offense
RF Vernon Brand – 31
CF Colt Diaz – 28
CF Lenny Cosby – 33
CF Del Crouch – 28
CF Hobey Adams – 37
LF Joel Mayberry – 26
CF Parker Ryan Boulton – 31
CF Clay Lovell – 30

You can naturally get an general indication what players will be starting at each position from here. My initial thought is to go with a traditional 3-4-3 formation, staggering the forwards at half to incorporate Vernon Brand; but intially starting with Boulton, Adams and Cosby down low.

As it stands right now, I need two more players to complete the 35 man roster. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as I will be making my decision in the next couple of hours. As you can see from the U-20 team page, the assistant coach this season will be willmot. He brings a tremendous amount of experience to the team and together I think we'll be a very formidable opponent at the U-20 level.

Please give me your questions or comments, and more than anything suggestions as to those two extra players. Thanks!

Vern Perrin will be moving up ranks soon-- Just need to get his Passing higher but I want to do that last.

I am excited to see what all three of our teams can do.

For all players who have joined in the last Year or less STICK WITH IT in soccer or hockey, GET TO KNOW the system so when HANDBALL comes around you will be a formidable force.

Study the tops players in I.1 and go through their teams from season 1. Understand FC Coronas Strategy and BoilerMakers-- The key is money and always will be. THE MOST IMPORTANT KEY is to be active in the first 2 seasons.
