This manager (35692) is willing to sell his player James Risk (49687729). Contact him if you are interesed in training Risk.

Good job, hopefully more people begin to cooperate.

This manager (147429) is willing to sell his player Tiernan O'Brannan (49688841). Contact him if you are interested in buying O'Brannan

Unfortunately, MacInally's GS has been low ever since he was sold by TRUF. I have contacted his new manager about that issue.

On a brighter note, lots of managers have either agreed to a training plan for their player(s) or sell them. Keep an eye on the market as there are already some young Scottish players on there.

More 19 year olds will soon be added to the roster, as some of them are rapidly improving!

I am not really surprised by that loss looking at the roster of the Greek national team... but I am happy to see Gossett and Lochiel play for the first time. Their GS is at 9 and their managers are eager to improve their skills. And: more 18 and 19 year olds will be added to the team after Friday's training update!

I am also very excited to introduce you to manager ajg (166403) who has recently bought two Scottish talents and has agreed to train them! Welcome to the team, ajg! Добро пожаловать!

Seeing the national team win two in a row and looking at all those 18 and 19 year olds who will improve each week makes me so happy and excited for what the future holds for BB-Scotland!

Sounds great! The more people that get involved with the NT (and stay motivated for a long period of time), the better. That'll definitely improve the pool of players for the NT. And even if it was also a bit of luck that I could win two competitive games in a row, it's definitely a sign that we're working in the right direction.

Season 55! This will be my 4th season as the coach of this team and I have to say the current roster is the worst one so far... Lots of 73-78 TSPs, 19 year olds who are not good enough just yet, managers telling me they are training their players even though their TSP has been the same for weeks. The list goes on and on.

Therefore, do not expect a lot of wins this season. I will decide on a roster of around 14 players next week (before the enthusiasm reset, of course). Most of these players will be 19 and 20 years old. We shouldn't care about winning now, our players are simply not good enough. So let's focus on future seasons: I want to encourage managers to train their 19 or 20 year old Scottish players. There is some great talent and potential around: Lochiel, MacCooish, Chapp, Lawson, Philipson, MacMaurice, Gossett, MacKersey, MacKirdy, Neil etc. etc. WE JUST NEED TO TRAIN THEM! It's that simple.
By playing U21 games now, their experience will also go up, which will be useful for all future NT players.

Hi, it's up to you to make a decision.
But I am in favor of all teams playing official games to the maximum of their capabilities. Friendly games are entirely at the discretion of the coach.
In addition, the Consolidation tournament is much weaker in terms of the composition of participants, and it is not known in advance how good the draw will be.

I do not agree in this case but it's ok if we have different opinions. If it is guaranteed that the young players get perfect training and will advance to the NT, it would be be best (imho) to give them as much experience as can be achieved. That doesn't mean that you have to leave out great 21y olds. But if you have a 19y old with 78 TSp and a 21y old with similar skills but maybe 81 TSP, I'd usually decide for the younger guy as he is the future of the u21 and possibly NT. If you have less than 90 TSP when a players turns 21, it's almost impossible to get him into the NT. Might work in Scotland for a couple of seasons yet, but I'm not sure (and hope!) it won't stay like that. So in this case, the Highlander would have my support. But we can discuss further of course and a compromise is almost always possible to be reached.
