Hello everyone

I'm glad to be your new U21 coach.
I'll do what I can so that we get as many success as possible ! We start this season at the rank of 47th, hope it will get better soon.

Next steps are :
- Full scouting of 18 to 21yo
- Taking contact with the managers of the best prospects, first with the ones I count on for the first games, since I need them to be in good shape.
- Communication : I'll open other threads with a first analysis of our next opponents, the good prospects being for sale on the transfer list, quick presentation of our players for this season...

I'll keep you all updated

Wow thanks a lot ! I'm starting the scouting this evening and these datas will be a huge help.
Have a nice day

Roster Presentation - U21 European Championship Tournament

After today's games, I have decided to select 12 players.

Some of them will quite surely play every game of the European Tournament.
The others, mostly aged of 20yo, are here because I count on them next season, and they will already gain experience. I chose those who were trained in Bulgaria, so that it brings merchandising to their manager and to reward their contribution to the U21.

I could have selected less than 12 players to keep more available spots, but truth is there are not many other options. I'm pretty sure those 12 will be among the best 18 anytime during this season.

This quick presentation goes from the highest to the lowest salary, it is not a ranking. Of course, I will not be specific about their profile because this is a public forum.

Lyuben Dilov - 21yo (49313526)
Trained by AllStarrr, his future is really promising. If well trained (not much doubt here) and in good shape, he will probably be our best player this season.
Followed by mink0ff to ensure he'll get to the NT.

Varban Kratunkov - 21yo (49313749)
Trained in Italia, he is by far our best weapon inside. This is no surprise, he is the only 21yo deserving a spot into the paint. His manager seems to take care of him so that is good news because we will need him.

Marian Gotzev - 21yo (49313684)
Trained in Taiwan, there are good chances he will second Dilov in our backcourt.

Velislav Draganov - 21yo (49313876)
Trained by Dodor with his friend Tolga Urba. His training is followed by mink0ff for the NT. Although his training plan has not been made for the U21, I must admit that he is too good to be left behind. Also, I'm sure he will stay in good shape all season long.

Antoan Sheytanov - 21yo (49314187)
Trained in Slovenija, he is expected to be a backcourt backup.

Kiril Yochev - 21yo (49313584)
Trained in Utopia by a greek manager, he is expected to be our SF starter.

Stoyan Kenarov - 20yo (49611703)
Trained by atanasovvv, he will have the complicated task to help Kratunkov in the paint against opponents that are a season older. He might be a leader next season though.

Veselin Savov - 21yo (49313612)
Trained by KeNoBi, he will be a good back-up for our backcourt.

Alexander Drashanski - 20yo (49687913)
Freshly brought back in Bulgaria by Saimionas, he is a bit tender and out of shape for the beginning of the season. If well trained, I have no doubt he'll be one of our best players next season.

Metodi Yotzov - 20yo (49611723)
Trained by uBAH, he is another good option for a starting spot in the paint. Another promising player for next season.

Valeri Genchev - 20yo (49611708)
Trained by mr_skembelijsky, he will be the backup of Yochev at SF position. If well trained, he will be an important piece for next season.

Svetoslav Mengov - 20yo (49611833)
Also trained by uBAH, with his teammate Yotzov, he is a bit behind but will gain welcomed experience with the U21. We will count on him next season.

Late addition : Rüzgar Nehir - 20yo (49611812)
Trained by mink0ff, your beloved NT coach, now you know why I was forced to select his player.. Just kidding :D
His profile is already really good for a 20yo and the training plan, which I just received, is promising. The experience gained will be a nice plus for both Bulgaria U21 and NT.


So, we will start the season with 13 instead of 12 players. Considering there are not many other options among the 21yo players, it changes nothing to the initial plan. We will do our best this season but already prepare for the next one.

Next time, I will present our opponents in the first phase of the European Championship Tournament.
Go Bulgaria !

Schedule Presentation - U21 European Championship Tournament

It's me again !
Now I will present you our opponents for the first round, from the first game to the last one.
After that there will be a little power rankings based on advanced and really complex datas, aka my humble opinion... :)

Ireland U21 (1044) - WR#48 - No trophies
They are just behind us in the world ranking.
Their coach has been here for the fifth consecutive season now, and we can see he did some good work with training : 5 players are between 30 and 40k of salary. In comparison, we only have one +30k (41k actually for Dilov). On the other hand, they seem to have some troubles with game shape, which makes me wonder if meeting them a bit later wouldn't have been better.
All in all, it will be a very tough first game.

Israel U21 (1015) - WR#5 - Last trophy : Silver Euro S54
A finalist of the last European championship.
They've had a lot of success lately, including a series of 3 consecutives World finals which stopped last season.
It is the first season of their coach, so I cannot say if he will be as successful. Yet, we can see they have an impressive roster with six +30k of salary, including a monster at 69k.
Tough beginning of the season for us.

France U21 (1011) - WR#8 - Last trophy : Bronze Euro S54
A semi-finalist of the last European championship, for the third consecutive time.
Last twelve seasons have been less successful than before, but it is still a strong nation in BB.
Their manager has already coached this team.
Again, their roster seems pretty strong with six +30k of salary, including a center at 63k.
Still no rest for our team...

Latvija U21 (1046) - WR#32 - Last trophy : Bronze Euro S22
Two +40k and two +30k of salary, it is again a strong team, seemingly inside oriented.
Fifth season for their coach, so once again we will face an experienced manager.
Even if this team seems just a bit stronger than ours, they might arrive with full enthusiasm considering they faced some of the weakest teams before. We do not have such an affordable beginning.

Ukraina U21 (1033) - WR#33 - Last trophy : Bronze Euro S36
Again, a manager who knows this team since he coached them in S52-53.
With two +30k salaries, and with the same hard season beginning, I expect our confrontation to be very close.

Shqipëria U21 (1079) - WR#69 - No trophies
Third consecutive season for their manager.
At first sight, their roster seems way lighter than ours, with only two +10k salaries. We have no choice but to win this game.

Cyprus U21 (1077) - WR#71 - No trophies
First mandate for their manager (yayyy just like me !)
A great NT prospect, all-time great of 27k$ salary, and two lieutenants with 13-14k$ salaries. This team also is behind ours. And winning is the only option here.

My power rankings before Week 1
1- Israel
2- France
3- Latvija
4- Ireland
5- Bulgaria
6- Ukraina
7- Cyprus
8- Shqipëria


As you must have understood, I really don't like our schedule. Beginning the season against the weaker teams would have been great in order to have a higher enthusiasm and hope for better results against stronger teams than ours.
There are only two qualificative spots for the next round and they seem reserved for the two big favorites. We'll do our best to honor this jersey :)

Next meeting : 4.30pm tomorrow for our first game against Ireland. I hope you will all be behind your U21 team, they will need all your support !

Go Bulgaria !
