As the title suggest what do you like most about your team. Also what do expect the most from your team


I like That my team has a ⭐ player given to me to start that can actually play and I expect my team to continue to be balanced for the future.

What about you guys 😉

That's fantastic! Having two future USA U21 National Team (NT) players on your roster is a testament to your team's exceptional talent and potential.

Indeed, the National Team is an extremely competitive and selective entity, comprising the crème de la crème of American players. The rigorous selection process and lofty standards make ,that's a remarkable achievement for your team members to be considered for that esteemed group.

Regarding the demotion to Division III, I'm confused . Typically, a team with such impressive talent and national recognition would be expected to ascend the ranks, not descend. Right?. Could you elaborate on the circumstances surrounding this decision? Is it a strategic move to recalibrate and refocus, or are there other factors at play?

"Regarding your observation about the difficulties of developing 19-year-old talent in elite divisions, I'm intrigued by your perspective.Why is that wouldn't veteran player suffice?

Additionally, I'd love to explore the notion of whether deliberately prioritizing growth over immediate competitiveness might inadvertently compromise one's draft ranking. If that is ok ? Do you perceive a significant correlation between draft slot positioning and the decision to focus on player development, even if it means temporarily sacrificing wins and. Fan moral ratings?"

If it's, ok to ask?

Thank you for the insightful explanation. It's clear that you've developed a thoughtful approach to team management, balancing short-term and long-term goals.

I particularly appreciate your point about the benefits of tanking while training younger players. It makes sense that having a cheaper roster can help mitigate the financial impact of lower fan surveys.

Your mention of the management theory is also intriguing. While being in the middle of the league may not be desirable, I can see how it might be challenging to consistently implement a "win or tank" strategy.

To further clarify, I'd like to explore the nuances of tanking. Does intentionally ceding matches, potentially resulting in a 50-0 loss or a walkover, not jeopardize draft standing? I understand that draft rankings are based on league position, but I'm curious to know whether deliberately accumulating losses could indirectly harm one's draft prospects.

In other words, is it possible to balance the benefits of tanking with the need to maintain a competitive draft position? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this delicate balance.

Do you find that this approach requires a significant amount of planning and foresight, particularly when it comes to identifying and developing young talent?

And thank you for your patience in your answers

I have a whopping five 20 y/o trainees that are U21/NT prospects for various countries including one US NT prospect. And they are looking to promote from IV to III this season.
