Hello all,

I am making my team (137833) HG. In 4-5 days the process should be finished. Hope to be able to play in HGL in season 7!!

I started playing in 2023, then almost exactly one year ago, I left the game. I have now come back. I usually like to play HG in other games, and although I started with a normal rebuild (thus my extra 5 players), I saw the posts about the HGL and went: that's great! Let's do this now (turn HG).

Best wishes all

Hello Brucehum,
It's good to have you here!

I responded to you in Homegrown teams (II) thread, so that all other potential future HG(L) managers would see that information too - please see the post, here: (324689.824).

If you think HG is the way to go, let me assure you, you have come to the right place, my friend.. ;)

As far as participating to HGL goes, we have changed it so on this Season, that you have to go through HGL-PL (links that provide more information for you were provided on that reply to you, link to it above) and best teams in HGL-PL each Season are then offered a place in HGL for next Season if there are open places.

In other words, if you would participate to HGL-PL on Season 6 (during next BB season), in doing so you would fight for place/places in HGL for Season 7, should some teams withdraw/be fired from HGL.
This Season we have following teams participating to HGL-PL - it's unfortunately too late to participate, but on next Season you're welcome to participate to HGL-PL, if your team is eligible when it starts... See participating teams of HGL-PL on Season 5, here: (331392.21).

Apologies for setting the wrong date on the Round 1 match. I have sent a new pickup match invite to MLS which I believe has the correct timing now.

For Round 2, I have not received the match invite yet - I believe TD is to send it, based on the # sign on the schedule? Please let me know if I missed anything else.

Thanks for corrective action on this one.

You are 100% correct that TD is supposed to send it. I am not sure though whether or not he has understood that obligation completely, as you said he hasn't done that.

If you want, you can also send TD match offer (to ensure this process would go smoothly) if you want to use one extra token by doing so. If you do send an offer though, please send it at correct time.

Easy way to see what correct official time for match is is, is to check your "regular BB schedule". If you know some HGL-PL match is played at correct time (like you do know), then send/accept challenges only at that same time of the day, as that's the official HGL-PL match time.

@ VR75/San Fernando VR:

Please remember that it's of utmost of importance to fire Javid Bolourchian before HGL-PL starts.
If he's not sold, if you fail to fire him in time, then you would be disqualified from whole HGL-PL on Season 5 (and of course we don't want that). So please fire him on Sunday 19th of July, if he isn't sold for any money.

Can you please report me if there are bids placed on him (I know he will be sold) or when you have fired him?

I would like to participate in future HGL-PL, to try and fight for a spot in season 7.

My team (137833) should be fully HGL compliant in 4 days or so. I have my 5 non HG players for sale, most since yesterday, one since this midday. If they don't sell, I'll just fire them.

Best wishes.

Thanks for further confirmation about that!
If you want to make some extra money (I don't know if you would be able to sell them for expensive price, or if it would be more affordable to fire them to avoid weekly wages - I didn't "evaluate" the value of your roster), you can also take your time to sell them.
In order to participate to HGL-PL, you don't have to be HG eligible team when HGL starts. You only need to be HGL-PL eligible one day before HGL-PL starts, which will likely be at the end side of next Season (perhaps slightly earlier though than on this Season).

It's tempting since two of my transfers are interesting, but I've scouted a great draft prospect that I want to build around.

I'm last right now after coming back to a 0-19 record. If I win today I'll finish second to last, but since the bottom team is a bot, there's only a 1/48 chance it auto-picks my guy. I had a lot of scouting points—unfortunately, I spent them all because I forgot they carry over!

I'm ready to fully dive into the HG challenge now and focus 100% on training my trainees, in the long term, that would mean my team is slightly better once I get into the HG-PL (I think)

Thanks for the tips.

Yes, I got a level 5 trainer. Will have to look at feasibility of secondary coach.

There are not enough players in Spain to completely fill division IV (my team has gone down without me 2 or 3 times, and remained at IV). We should get around 2 bots per group.

The draftee is a SG, all the three 5/5 draftees are 6'0 to 6'2. This one has good abilities already, he is 6'1'' and has strong Jump Shot/Outside Defense and proficient Jump Range/Driving. The plan, depending on the rest of the draftees, is to use single position training (although maybe for a new HG team better would be to train dual and get more guys better at first?) and train the usual suspects: Outside Shooting, Outside Defence and One on One.

For now, Morillo IS in that plan, yes. Maybe play/train him as SF.

Any advice or tweaks on the order of skills to pop first is highly appreciated!
