It's very kind of you, thanks:)
I'm still thinking what is the best way to increase number of valuable SG players.
Youth setup is small indeed, therefore we cannot allow to waste any promissing youngster. To many of them goes to nowhere.
In my clubteam I train one U-21 player (Muzapar), one or two youngsters with some potential and one near future NT player (Chok). I will train more SG defenders with pleasure if I can find suitable players to first or B-team and when my account is prepared for purchase at this time.
My idea about transfer waiting-room can be useful. If I will know week or two earlier about interesting player for sale, I can prepare for this. Other managers either. I will recommend interesting SG players to other serious managers but it takes time for messaging, preparing training place in team and collecting finances for purchase if nescessary. 1-2 weeks is minimum I think.
Active SG managers are experienced most of the time, despite of this I must say one obvious thing to be certain. Don't keep an interesting SG player if you can't train him properly. Ex: if you train strikers, don't keep defenders, let other nationalities to keep your sheet clean:). Sell player to anyone who can train him by the book - you will earn money and NT will earn another potential NT player.

Fortunately I found 3 NTs for friedlies. Unfortunately seems that only SG is free at week 13. There is no team showing at international forum who has week 13 free from WCQ...
So I must try to search manually, every NT, team by team and look in their matches to find any team with 13 week free from WCQ. Titanic work to do:)
For now our season schedule is:
Week 02: WCQ - Misr
Week 03: WCQ - Sakartvelo
Week 04: Friendly - Panamá
Week 05: WCQ - England
Week 06: WCQ - México
Week 07: WCQ - Perú
week 08: WCQ - Azərbaycan
week 09: WCQ - Azərbaycan
week 10: WCQ - Perú
week 11: WCQ - México
week 12: WCQ - England
week 13: Free (looking for friendly match)
week 14: WCQ - Sakartvelo
week 15: WCQ - Misr
week 00: Friendly - India
week 01: Friendly - Belarus

First game against Misr we won 2:0. What was interesting in today's game? Maybe this: we started scoring when our best striker at the pitch - Perisamy was sent off (red card on 44'). Well, maybe we should play with one striker only?:)
Next week we play with Sakartvelo.
Next week we play with Sakartvelo.
After manual full search I found just one team with week 13 free - Sénégal. Their coach agreed with me that we have no other options and we must play:)

Sakartvelo - Singapore 0:3
23 shots = 3 goals. Not so good, but today our reserve strikers played. Chok (slight injury) and Perisamy (red card) were not be able to play. Besides I will save them for harder WCQ matches which are coming soon.
With 6 points we are on the top of the table. WCQ should end now:) To be serious - Misr and Sakartvelo are weakest teams, the rest of opponents will be a great challenge for us. Every point taken from them will be success.
Next week we play friendly with Panamá. I'm going to give a chance for reserve lineup to play, even if we loose, to avoid unescessary injuries of first lineup players.

Panamá - Singapore 3:1
Not so bad since our reserves played today and considering match stats (Panamá 75,6 - Singapore 69,7). It was a good test for a backup players.
Next week we play group match against England. Tough match is cooking:)

Singapore - England 0:2
Team stats:
Singapore 71,1 - England 80,5
Shots:
Singapore 0 - England 21
Extreme defensive tactic was not enough. Score was not to high considering stats, that's good, but our offensive power was minimal with one striker and one offensive winger only.
I'm satisfied in general, 0:2 against England is not a shame. Now we are waiting for México.

Back to two strikers was a good idea, our offensive power was good today. I'm very satisfied. Despite red card for one of our defenders and differences in stats and rank between Singapore and Mexico, we collected one point. Nice:)
Next week we play against Peru.

Singapore - Peru 1:4
With devastated defense (4 first lineup defenders were unable to play - red card and injuries), and another defender injury in 16', we were beaten by one of group favorites. 10 pts difference between team stats was to much today for us.
28 days injury on 33yo Robert Teoh mean that we practically lost one of our main defenders for the rest of most important group matches and propably it's end of his NT career as well. We'll see how fast he recover and how many skills he'll lose during this period.
Two matches against Azərbaycan are coming now.

Close game, equal teams, fair result. Nothing special happened.
Next week we play rematch at home.

Singapore - Azərbaycan 1:1
Like week ago - close game (maybe with our little advantage this time), fair result. Our rival scored in 89', it was very close to win, but I can't blame match engine or something. Final score was fair for both sides.
Three away rematches are coming now with strongest teams - Peru, Mexico and England. Well, I don't expect to much but we'll fight. Like always:)

Peru - Singapore 5:0
Our biggest defeat since I'm the coach. Sad but true - Peru is on higher level than we are, that's all.
I've decided to train at least 5 young SG defenders, untill they reach NT level.
I got 6 promissing youngsters now at age 18-21 and one at age 25 (B.A. Chok). He is NT member already, for now he looks like first/second defender on the bench, but he is still trained, and he will become first lineup player next season I predict.
Those 6 youngsters will be regular NT defenders in 3-5 seasons (at least 5 of them). It means that we will be strong in defence for many seasons then. I don't know how long I can be a NT coach, but I will train them since they reach NT level, even when I will not be a NT coach anymore.
It's a pity a little since no one of those youngsters play in U-21 NT. At least 3-4 of them deserves it imho: Manimala, Muzapar, Kannan and maybe Fong. Only Muzapar is playing time to time. Manimala even isn't in U-21 NT. He is one of most skilled and talented U-21 SG defs/def-mids...
We want to be stronger, do we?

go go Wiki!!
I hope that you be the NT coach for long time, so you can see your players in senior NT and win with them!!! :)

I'm pretty sure they will be NT players, regarding their skills and talent. The only issue is to train them as long they will be ready. Playing in U-21 NT can help to do this a little quicker. Despite of this they are ready to play in U-21 NT now, but somehow they are underestimated by U-21 NT coach, I don't know why. Other youngsters with ratings 10 and more below my player's level are playing frequently...
For sure - I'm not trying to place my youngsters in U-21 NT by force because they are my players, but because they just deserve it. Additionally if we consider my promiss about constatnt training, they sholud play every week in U-21 NT.
Ok, let's drop it. They are playing or not - I will train them to make SG senior NT stronger in the future, even without U-21 NT support. They are players carefuly selected by me and I'm sure they will be great NT members. It will propably cost me my club's laegue position to train them as fast is possible, but I don't care - NT is much important to me.
But I'm training defenders only. We need a few people more for mids, atts and keepers. Those who will take one or more most promissing youngsters under long constatnt training. I'm counting on SG managers and their little dose of devotion to NT team future. I can't train all positions myself:)
