I didn't say that you made a bad work,I had only say that famrs can be find in evey country.The problem is the number and the use you do.
As you have just said,also your country has his farms,few but farms.
I think that you are one of the best coach in the world in involving the community,because czech users really follow your indication to improve your national team.But you can't know what every team will do,What I mean with the term"sensitize the community" is that if someone is going to leave,other users could contact you saying"Hello coach,this X manager is leaving the game,maybe you can convince him to become a farm" so you can use that team as a farm

It's more a community duty than a your duty... ;D

In Italy we have problem to find so many farms as the number of great players we have,because probably the managers that leave the game are the managers that are less involved by the game and community,so it's difficult to find teams with the right characteristics to be farms,but definitively it can be done...

Surely,farms are needed only for few players,because the work has to be done also in the field where you are a great expert,creating competitive players with the less possible salary

As even in our country still many managers don't understand that off position training can be very usefull also for clubs I think farms could be usefull also for players with lower salary - expecially for my multiskill concept.

This is a completely different question
It's not a problem that you can't find farms,the problem is that some managers doesn't understand training in the way you like more

8.Luxembourg(8) 0-5 410 756

Turkiye 96 Italia 107
The ratings put up by both teams in this game were unbelievable. Turkiye managed to put up a wondrous(low) inside scoring rating. This game was pivotal in seeing who would get an easier road to the next round and Italia won it. Turkiye will most likely need to win the next two games to advance to the next round and Italia is in a position where they can afford a slip up. This game was close the whole way through, but Italia came through in the 4th and it made all the difference. POTG: Sergio Quattrucci had a game high 36 points, a game high 5 assists and a 19.0 rating.

Latvija 90 Hrvatska 110
Hrvatska is in the same boat as Italia, can afford a possible slip up if need be. Hrvatska's ratings were very good as well and advancing to the next round is a definite possibility. Latvija is having a disappointing tournament, definetly expected more out of them. POTG: Bartol Petrosa had 19 points, a game high 16 rebounds and a 17.5 rating.

Luxembourg 81 Bulgaria139
Bulgaria got the free win of the week and it really doesn't matter. If the game does not involve Turkiye, Italia or Hrvatska at this point then it really has no effect on the tournament. POTG: Marin Kanchev had 17 points, 11 rebounds and an 18.5 rating.

Norge 83 Belarus 96
Norge scored 23 points in the 1st, 2nd and third quarters, now thats consistency! Not that it mattered. They still lost in a bascally meaningless game. POTG: Alhierd Laurynkovich had a game high 24 points and a team high 17 rebounds to go with a 15.0 rating.

My predictions:
Bulgaria(50) at Norge(64)
I honestly think Norge could win this one. Based on GS Norge has an advantage. On talent Norge definetly wins on the outside and on the inside its close. My pick: Norge gets their first win of the tournament.

Belarus(52) at Luxembourg(96)
Belarus receives the free win of the week in this one. If Luxembourg scores 110 points ill be impressed. My pick: Belarus.

Italia(24) at Latvija(33)
Latvija is having a disappointing tournament and Italia is a much stronger team coupled with their HCA. My pick: Latvija loses again and drops to 2-4, while Italia all but books their trip to the next round.

Hrvatska(25) at Turkiye(40)
This game is basically a win or go home situation. First of all if Turkiye loses this game I don't see them advancing with two losses. Secondly if Hrvatska loses this game I really don't see them beating Italia while Turkiye can beat anyone, but Italia. This game will probably decide who advances with Italia. Neither team really had a good GS update, But Turkiye has the talent advantage and a tiny GS advantage. My pick: Turkiye unless Hrvatska can pull something out of their sleeves Turkiye will win and advance.

Nice and agreed with your comments.

Haha, not so meaningless for Belarus struggling to get the 4th place after being seed 6th to this "Group of death" as it involves Italia, Turkey, Latvia, Croatia and Bulgaria.

But who cares about NT Rankings? It's not so important even if group in EC are made according to NT rankings.

If you win games,your Nt ranking improve and maybe in the next competition you'll have an easier group.It could be very important,especially for medium level team like your,if you were in another group you could try to make some noise and advance to the next round

I know how it works, but nowadays you can get into group stronger team from 3rd than from 2nd pool if you are unlucky. And medium level team are from me almost all from 3rd to 6th pool. This time Russia was even at 7th pool. Sometimes can be interesting to play the strongest team just at the beginning if you go from 5th or 6th pool, but feel strong enough.

The easier group is more of a crap shot then anything created by exact order of natinal rankings. And order of games within the group is crucial too. So at the end it may be better to be at some worse place in the rankings.
