Crook has been on my radar and I've already talked to his manager. He'll be getting some training for sure. He's hurt but he'll get some FT and ST over the three week period.

Webb, he's pretty decent, on the roster but is 3rd in total skill points though of the SF's.

Waterworth, he'll be really good and I've already spoken to Windies, good dude and I expect Waterworth to get some good training.

On a sidenote though, what is "buzzerstats"? Off site data base?

Funny I make several roster cuts and add one or two and then I read this. Looks like I did/thought very similarly to you. I used your template as motivation to create a very similar data base on excel. Thanks again for that.

To be honest, 2 million you spent on players to train for the Bahama National Team... seems like a big sacrifice to your own team. They kinda kicked themselves in the but not voting for you. I now need to find people that are willing/needing a young player to train and get them to buy/train some players from Barbados.

Oh, Berger is over priced and Ellard... FML. There needs to be a way for micro-nations to grab those guys!

Got into buzzerstats, pretty interesting!

But, I couldn't find any Barbados players right now that could be of use. Seems like there was a good group of players a few seasons ago though. We'll get there.

I loaded in all the players for the last 4 seasons. Didn't see nothing then either.

IMO priority 1 is working with 3peat and whatever managers are responsive to get them loading up on draft points so they can save any high potentials coming in the next draft. It's a tall order but at least it will start to get decent players out to market.

I've RL'd to D4 so I'm not sure how my finances will be looking this season but perhaps next season. Great work with the team. Good luck in the first round.

lol shucks thanks mon. Waterworth is looking good & while I was looking around for someone better ho never came last season I was training Ward from Jamacia & he has made their U21 team now but low potential. Mix should have been the coach they were crazy to not vote for him.

I mentioned that to Mix too. They wont take off as much as they could have.

But seriously though, thanks for being willing to train a young player from Barbados. We will need managers like you in the short future. Garry excites me, keep it up man.

Yes maybe even late this season, been very boring trying to get the OD up. When Waterworth hits strong I will probably switch or may do 1 pop in passing as well.

I don't think that BAH loss was that bad. They CT'd vs. your TIE, also you're making due with a team you didn't scout. By the same accord, he's also using a team he didn't scout. There are some real powerhouses in there. Most of which are aging out.

How's the draft coming for the local managers so far? Have they done the combine and sorted out any decent 18yos yet?
