Hi Berg!

I had 3 victories that I am proud of. Firstly the win that gave me the opportunity to reach the EBBL, I planned all season long to play that match and when I won it was like a long plan finally completed. Secondly the win in the semifinal of the cup two seasons ago, it still is the highest peak of my career ( unfortunately then I lost against you :p). And thirdly the win in game 3 of last season playout, I knew it was an hard game, I choose to play with an inside offense as I thought my opponent would put an outside defense..and fortunately I was right!

I think that one of my strength is that I trained some players for our U21 NT and they are still in my team, as they have become key players for me. So I have experience with this kind of players. A weakness could be the fact that I haven’t had any experience like this one before and it could be different to scout a National team compared to ‘normal’ team.

The most exciting thing, as I wrote in the post before, it is for sure the opportunity to built a team from other teams and put togheter the work that different manager have done.

If I ever become the NT manager I have already prepared a plan to scout all the players we need. Fortunately we don’t have too many series to scout (and unfortunately we don’t have a big selection ahah). However I will be glad to work with you for the NT, as I think you are a very good GM and surely you have more experience then me. Also I prefer to be in a working team.

You’re right!!

But when you build some such good players then it is good for your own team too.
It is like you have great player for free ahah

Hi Bergkamp, I'll try and answer those questions as best I can!

I think the best victory I can think of was in season 42 when I beat Club Deportivo in the cup, I know he probably played a weakened team but I didn't really have a strong squad at that point and I pulled out the 3 point victory and I was quite shocked to be honest. (101889379)

Similar to what Mr JJ has said, I too have trained players for our U21's, so I have experience with training players. I suppose one weakness is that I've not got any major game experience, I've never been in the EBBL, I've made the Playoff Semis in D2, but other than that and that cup win I don't have much big game experience. But there's only one way to gain that experience!

I suppose I'm sort of excited to try and write match reports about each game, (will be tough at first having never done one before XD) but it's a challenge I'm looking forward too. The main reason I chose to run was because I'm looking for a different sort of challenge on BuzzerBeater and I'd also like to see what I can do with the squad going forward.

I feel like I will be prepared for the initial scouting mission, I do realise that it will take me a lot of time at the beginning but once I have a spreadsheet set up or something I feel I can work with, it will make things easier for me when I track the progress of the younger players out the draft etc.

In terms of the tactics, I will pick what I feel is the best choice for the team that we are playing, if I feel they are playing 3-2 zone, I'll look inside, that sort of thing, however, that also depends on the skills of the players on the squad as to whether that is a viable option. (Not sure if that was a question but thought I'd answer it anyway).

Think that answers everything!
