Asunto: Questions & Answers

Can i ask why players aged 21 are not allowed to be added to the senior NT? If a player is good enough to play for the senior team, surely he should be allowed?
I have inherited the GB senior NT that wasn't looked after well, and there are two players clearly good enough to make the team, but are only eligible for the U21's currently. It puts us at a disadvantage because we cannot use all our best players

It's the same with all countries.

I know it is. My question is why?

Because the rules say so.
Note that if you had a player younger than 21 years in your senior NT before this season, he would be allowed to stay at senior NT even though he's 'too young'.
Stick it out for one season and he'll be in your NT

I know that they are now the rules, but my question is why are they the rules? Why should a player be limited to the u21's even though he's as good (if not better) than the players in the full senior team?
In the real world you regularly see younger players that are eligible for u21 team's being called up to the senior NT because they are a special talent and are good enough to compete at the elite level.
Unless of course these are the rules in real-life Handball? I admit that I don't follow the sport as it's not really that popular in the UK

Nothing to do with real handball or any other sport regarding younger players.
Tho there is solidarity between international managers of using players in different categories if eligible. Theres no option in ppm as players are locked to selection for whole season hence probably the rule.

Just to get this right:
1) Is it correct that you can "save" a player from an inactive team, if you call him in for the National Team? Meaning, of course, that he will get tranferlisted?
And another one:
2)Is it possibly to change nationalteam - say a 19 yeared player get the kick from the U19 NT and then the U21 NT call him in?

1) The player will not get transferlisted. You can't save the player.

2) Not sure on that one. Personally I would guess you can't, but on the other hand why not? I'll hope someone knows the answer to this one

Damn - I was hoping for another answer! Well - I learn it the hard way then (to enroll players BEFORE their club gets inactive).

Thanks anyway for taking the time to answer. Hope someone has an answer for the second one.

2) It's possible to kick someone off of the Senior team and have them join U21 or U19 but not possible to have a younger player join an older team

Right - another answer I didn't like. Just not my day.

Thanks though - and have a nice weekend.

Why you dont raise number of draft players also in handball??? In basketball 216 is great. But in handball with 148 this means that you scout almost all players which is BORING...

I have a u21 national player. After the first two friendlies he recieved a bonus in training. This did not happen after the first qualification march this weekend. Is it correct?
Also in the manuel is says that the team of a national player will recieve a small ecomonical bonus when a player plays a game. I didn't registre any bonus at all.

I could only find a U19 player on your team. He got the bonus on the 12th and you also got money on that day.

Compare the amount he trained on the 12th to the usual amount he trains in that attribute.
