If you drop a player off of your roster, it will lower enthusiasm. However, if you have like 14 players on your roster, you have flexibility to change which players start which games among those players. So, you can still use the best players for each tactic. It really doesn't matter much for us though because for most positions, we have a clear starter, no matter what the tactic is.

You can call players up with out enthusiasm drops. You cannot drop players without huring your enthusiasm.

The roster size to start the year would likely be 10 for multiple reasons. First and formost is that the start of our schedule is relatively easy and we will be playing the regulars. Second and perhaps most interesting is the fact that we have quite a few 'bubble' players who are really close to taking over a NT spot. Some of the guys on the NT will not be geting training so they may very well be surpassed by mid to late season. Players will be added as the need arises, just as previous NT managers have done.

I think instead of the best 2 players for each position, I will change it to the best 2 for for Center and PG and SG but for PF and SF i will take the best outside oritented one/balanced one and then the best inside oriented/balanced one. that way I can set different lineups for each tactic

In most cases this is the same player :) So you may only need to take one.

Canada plays a scrimmage really early on the morning following the results of the election. With very little time to scout and plan I am curious what the other candidates have planned for a line up and what tactics they are considering?

reserve SG:Tommy Germain

SF:Geoff Abbott
Back up SF:Paul Wendon/Essa Abu-Kaleel

Interesting line up but not what I would use.

Pushkin is likely not going to be on the team as he is old and not getting training. There are many up an comers I would sooner test out. The same goes for Wendon, it is really sad to say but I think Wendon may have played his last game on the NT.

Since the roster is open till next Saturday I would likely go with a youth movement for the scrimmage and play a bunch of the up and coming players.
