I'm curious, how many users read the national forum?

I'm pretty sure you can count them on one hand!

Unfortunately yes. As a result I see fewer good players in the U21 NT season by season

Same thing for the NT, and to make it worse they change hand often as not many people have the nationality boost with them, nor any pride in training a local or drafted player.

That's the real problem with micro-nations. The best U21/NT players are 90% of the time players from the nationality of the owner, and player they drafted. People are attached to these players. But because there are maybe 10 active teams in Iceland, that's not a large pool at all.

Honestly I've never been able to draft good players.
I think I should focus on train some vikings in my team

jep, of course the low number of icelandic players is a problem; but for the NT it would be enough to find like 5 managers, who will each support/train 2 players, as we did it for a while with the U21.

At the end of my 8-seasons term as U21-coach we got 9 wins per seasons; of course the most of them against small nations, but "hej, we are a small nation, too"

So lets try to built something.

We need to create something similar (even though our last year we got lot of wins). Maybe by rewarding managers with young and high potential players even if they are weaker. With the new merchandising changes, having a national player could be a good thing.
