Not sure if this was mentioned here yet, but VirtusPortici (47391) was promoted to Italy's Serie A (first division).
If I'm not mistaken, it's the first time in history that a homegrown team has made it to serie A in Italy. This is a truly amazing achievement, considering that Italy has more active users than any country in BB.

HUGE congratulations to Sventra and his fantastic team.


If I'm not mistaken, it does deserve an asterisk though. Some of his players while they were drafted by his team were trained by other teams as he sold them immediately or not long after their draft. He then bought them back later in their career. Including the two biggest salaries.

Yeah, I think that's why he's a Drafted team rather than a Homegrown team, you're right.

In any case, quite an achievement!

Didn't know there is this distinction. I've a Drafted team, then And I intend to keep it this way.

My second attempt to stay after promotion to the top competition was unsuccessful. So I'm back in the second league. And I'll probably stay here longer. I don't like losing in the top league :)

I'm neither (although it would be cool to try), but I think I would go the Drafted team route.
It adds another tactical aspect in deciding whether how many of your trainable guys to train, and how many to sell immediately, in the hopes of having someone else train them for you and buying them back.

Meanwhile, I have learned that my status is that of a Drafted team, and not really Homegrown. I don't know if it changes your decision, but I think it's fair to at least notify you.

All teams here are homegrown, there is only one difference between them: having bought or not players who weren't drafted by your team and this applies since you registered your team.

This is news to me....

I was under the impression that Homegrown status could be acquired at any given moment, if your team was entirely comprised of players you drafted.
Your interpretation seems WAY too strict.
