Subject: [U21]Dagwood

I am announcing my candidacy for the u21 national team coach.

I have been in A league since season 9, having finished in the top 4 each season with 1 championship. I spent 2 seasons in B league and 2 in C league claiming the title in all 4 seasons.

I'm not big on talking myself up so I'll leave the rest of the topic to answer questions.

Thanks for your time

what formation do you think is a good fit for the u21 level

I would have to look at the skill sets of the players on the team, which I don't have access too right now.

I would prefer a 4 or 5 man back line, the use of a high winger would depend on if we have anyone who could contribute at that position. 2 strikers will probably be a must.

I have only trained midfield during my time on sokker, I have contributed many u21 midfielders during the last few seasons so I am familiar with midfield play at the u21 level.

Tactics I think would be my strength, my starting line up the last couple seasons has averaged just 22 yrs of age and I think the NT u21 level would be comparable.

I waited few days to see who was applying for the job, and to update the database. By DATABASE i mean my FILE with all the skills from every players i've scouted. In Sokker when you are a NT coach you don't have access to player's skill. The NT database is useful, but need constant update from users, constant scouting of market to check players on sale and still, if manually update can be faked.
Dream Team Website is useful because it cut's time in scouting, meaning that i don't have to check country by country, team by team for USA players. It record player perfomances in official games, but in the case of U21 players, in most cases those players play only friendlies. The only feature that i found useful is the list of the best 20 players by VALUE, for every age and Role (ATT, MID, DEF, GK).

The use of Both System together, can help in find the best USA players.

I do have my file that i will send to YOU if you are willing to privately send me your e-mail address. It is an excel file. It does a system that i create to rate players, and every player is categorize by age and Role.

Another Thing. I agree to participate in a USA Mini World Cup next season, but after the election, they will contact the new coach to check if it still will be part of it. There's a Thread in SK international.
Friendlies: first thing to do is to look for a friendly game. You can organize friendly only week, by week. Try to look for teams that are about your strenght, There's a thread in SK international (U21 NT features), where most of the coaches will try to set up a Friendlies plan for the season. Make sure you keep track of it.

For what i think of the next u21 players: we have better Defenders than the last one, Ok MIDS (2 were first teamers in the last player batch), very poor choice of ATT, and there's nothing yet in the youngest either.
With GK, we should be allright for 3 seasons if the are keep trained

id like to see you use the one you used against beans, except one of the inner mids a forward instead. and against countries with a good wing 5 back instead. assuming we have a squad with those kind of players

Similar to my tactic I used against Spigolatrice?

I can give you my email

I don't think its unrealistic to ask owners of the starting 11 to create an announcement for a short time to view actual skills.

yes

I updated firefox and now fire sokker doesn't work, I hope they update soon.

Go to Sk international, there's thread about Firesokker. Download those files, and if you can't make it work, there's a post of mine, where i explained what i did.


About Players Updates, you better get ready, especially when the owner will send you the skills in whatever language ................

Bump, before it falls to page 2.
