Shortlist
The selection for the national team can't be changed at this time.
The next selection can be made in week 11 (you can see the current week number in the calendar on the mainpage).
This is the shortlist of players that can be selected for the national team. The national manager can make a selection of these players 4 times per year. Please note that he does not have to select the best players, but he does need a reason to prefer a weaker player over a strong player. This can be for example:
- The weaker player is younger and has more potential. This can be said if it's likely the weaker player will surpass the older player in the next two seasons.
- The weaker player has better attributes or is trained in a way that better suits the team.
- The stronger player can no longer gain experience in the team and the team can no longer qualify (or is already qualified).
- The stronger player has very low endurance. If a player is often tired on interland days he may be skipped by the national manager for that reason.
- The selected player has a higher star value. No justification needs to be given for selecting a player with a higher star value, even if you think your player is better.
The national manager is obliged to put the interest of the team first and is not allowed to use the team as a training tool for his or his friends players. It's important to us that all players have a fair chance to get into the national team. If you doubt the decision from a national manager you can ask him about this and ask one of the admins about this if no good answer is given.
