Hi everyone!
First of all I'd like to thank you all for voting me as your next NT manager.

The first season won't be easy. We are currently ranked 87th in the world and our group consists of:
Malta - 70th
Belarus - 60th
Slovensko - 48th
Hungary - 33rd
Portugal - 24th
Israel - 17th
Finland - 3rd

I'll do my best and hopefully we can steal a win or two.

In terms of the NT in general.

1. Our main problems are that we obviously lack quality.

2. Our current generation really lacks defence, both our outside and inside players have way too low defence.

3. There seems to be a gap now between generations. Our current roster is mostly made up of 29 or 30+ year olds. However there don't seem to be much of strong players coming up in the next 3-4 seasons. The next few bright young guys are just 21-23 year olds now so there is a long way to go until we have a new crop of great players in our NT.

Training for the future

Regarding our future NT stars. If you have any MVPs or HoFs and need advice on how to train them or just what skills you should focus on next etc. Please don't hesitate to contact me for advice. Not that I'm the best trainer in the world but I think I've gotten a good grasp on it these past seasons. How to best utilize the elastic effect and so one.
I've also hounded some great trainers on discord who have trained some great talents and I can always ask them for advice if needed.

I will write a general "description" of the skill points we should be looking for so it shows on the profiles on Icelandic players (when I learn how to do that). I'll also write a seperate forum post on it later.


Thanks again guys and please don't hesitate to contact me in game or on the officiall BB discord.

good luck Stómas

Hey everyone!

The regular season is over and we reached our main goal of winning the 2 games that we could possibly win.
All in all I'm pretty happy with this season. Worst ranked team heading into the season but we finished 6th out of 8 teams.

I know everyone won't be happy all the time with the roster selection or who starts in games etc but I do put a lot of thought into it depending on the game shape and skillset of the players and what tactic we will be playing based on the opposition. So if you ever have any questions regarding the selection please don't hesitate to contact me in the bbmail or on the official BB Discord.


Now what could we have done differently? Hindsight is 20/20 and all that...
The 1st win against Malta we both played with effort level "Normal" and we got a 15 point win. It is likely that we would have edged the win with "take it easy".
The same goes in the 2nd win against Belarus, we played "Crunch Time" while they played "take it easy". We won by 21 points, in that game we could definitely have played "normal" and won the game.

Doing that would have meant we went into the last game with much more enthusiasm than we did. However I doubt that it would have made any difference in the results against Portugal, it might have changed the results from 23 point loss to a 10-15 point loss.


A few players got their first NT minutes this season:
Harrý Svavarsson - few minutes from the bench
Aðalsteinn Unnsteinsson - both starting and bench minutes
Kristinn Guðmundsson - both starting and bench minutes
Yngvi Hreimsson - bench minutes
These players were chosen mainly for their defense and/or all around skills

I urge you to keep your players as close to 9 in game shape if you can, both for your club and country
Again if you ever have any questions regarding the selection please don't hesitate to contact me in the bbmail or on the official BB Discord.
