I am ready to scout and have been doing preliminary scouting already. I've been in touch with coachlambini to learn from his experience and understand the current talent in the pipeline. Additionally, since this past season, I have personally been compiling a database of all South African players under 21 as well as a database of opposing African players under 21 who have been posted on the transfer list.


How do you find this South African generation compared to other continental nations ? What tools do you use ?

After a deeper look at this season's Continentals, I think South Africa is going to be right in the mix of the competition.
- On paper, Egypt would appear to be a favorite with a 103k C and a 57k PG(!) but it looks like they may be lacking in depth behind their superstars.
- Al Maghrib has both a handful of solid players and good depth.
- Nigeria and Senegal have a few strong players but their depth may also be lacking.
- South Africa has a star of our own in Mugabe, 3rd highest salaried U21 African player, though our depth behind him could use some work.

If elected, I would plan to look into things further. I also think the training of players during this season to build up the depth will be vital to the success of the team.

I have used the NT Scout Online tool to scout out opponents as well as tracking the South African pipeline. I also regularly run searches for U21 players in African countries that appear on the TL to track skills progression.

It all sounds good. You should be elected unless the other candidate wakes up and changes the story. :)

As previously stated I wholly endorse A warrior. He came to me expressing interest in the position before last season, so he has the want to, and the know how. You will be in great shape my friends.
