I am not making a complaint, i am merely making an observation, i would like someone to tell me if i have seen too many X-File shows!

It has caught my attention that my 26yr 87k MF, has managed a poultry 2 caps this season.

Yet every single one of the Lithuanian NT manager's club team, has received at least five games including these players:

http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=34964 - 6 caps?!
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=34086 - 5 caps?
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=28912 - 5 caps?
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=31206 - 5 caps?
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=28545 - 6 caps?
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=24997 - 7 caps
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=27385 - 5 caps?!

Now that is just his team...let me carry on...

I now find that the Lithuanian manager of another certain team has these players in the squad of his fellow Lithuanian

http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=34964 - 6 caps?
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=26999 - 6 caps?
http://www.footballglory.com/players/pl ... p?id=24306 - 8 caps?

I don't need to point out my own players, all these guys above have played nearly every game yet a 26yr 98k player has played 3:

Furthermore an equally solid youngster hasn't got any!? Yet poorer ones have:

This took 5 minutes of my time, maybe i am naive into thinking that the fight against monopolies of NT managers was being controlled, but i call this not random coincidence, i call this a conspiracy to gain unfair advantage over others.

Hi, well in my humble opinion this is not as unbalanced as you make it look.

Giedrius Papeckys your player is a very very good player, amazing no, but yeah he is great. He has 26yo and his updates do not depend much on his NT games. The same opinion goes for Lyn´s player Davidovic.

About Algis Slekys I do agree that is a very nice player and he has been given chances in his own team (issue that I take a lot into account when I give games to my NT players, the more he plays in his team the better), plus he is an AM and a quality one of those is rare. So here I think you are right, I don´t understand why he has not received a good amount of games if the NT manager strategy is to play youths to build a future.

About the pack of players from FBK Kaunas, well I do think that none of the players mentioned (Novikovas, Rapalis, Vilciauskas, Rytinho, Janushevicius and Kutla) is bad, I would say they are very decent, but yeah only Rytinho has the potential to become a star. Despite of this the manager has given his players from 35 to 40 games minimun, what could possibly support his plan to build a base for Lithuanias future.

About the pack of players from Amica Wronki (Stankevicius, Stesko and Suktus it´s about the same as for Kaunas players, they ain´t bad and they have played a TON of games this season.

To resume, everyone has his strategy, I do agree that Papeckis and Davidovic could have goten more games but they didn´t and another crop of decent players got them instead, while Papeckis and Davidovic will surely lead that new crop of players. About Slekis (the player from Genk) in that point I agree with you, the player is better than many of the called up ones, has played a LOT this season and he has received zero chances so I do think that this is an ABUSE or that he just did missed him out.
Finally like I said none of the players called from the 2 lithuanian teams are bad and in both cases the players have played many many games, so I do not agree with you here.

Just my two cents I have to leave but maybe I will continue later, cya guys and good luck!

I just want to state my simple 2 steps.

I think your attempting to imply he deliberately favoring his own players over better players more qualified. However, here the two you gave us were older stars... the ones he are playing are younger ones which are decently good. If it was shown he was favoring his own players over same age/group players who were better then it is abusive. Until then, I really don't see anything wrong with this at all like Niko.

AJ (Olimpija 2B) says: why is everyone all of the sudden asking if he for sale and price?

Nuno says: cuz Eirk spreads the word faster than a prostitute spreads her legs

One simple question:

Have you talked to the manager in question, asked him if he's missed your player out and is going to call him up or if he has some other reasons?


I myself usually find the time to check every single player under my nation every season so I don't really miss any prospects. However, managers do occasionally send me an FGM to ask politely if so-and-so would be worth looking at. I'd go back and double check if he wasn't on my shortlist and then explain precisely what action I'm going to take. Both sides happy.

Now, if the NT manager you're accusing doesn't reply/tells you to shove yourself somewhere obscure, then you have a case. Otherwise, perhaps all that is needed is some communication.
