Kansas City Wizards

Awiseman:

The '''Kansas City Wizards''' was one of the oldest and most successful clubs in the [[USA]]. It won the [[Major League]] title a total of 8 times, including an unequaled run of six championships in a row from Seasons 18 to 23. Since then, however, the club fell hard times, and it last resided in USA's Division VI, the country's bottom division. Just before Season 28 Wizards' owner announced that he is working on rebuilding the club. Though, as of Season 36, this has not happened and the club has fallen to last place in [[VI.671_(USA)|VI.671]]. The Kansas City Wizards have not won a competitive match since Season 32. The team changed owners in season 40 and went through a few changes since then. It's currently a bot team. The ID number is 8105.

Youth Academy

2011-06-08T21:16:34Z

Awiseman: cleaning up, adding more

==Leagues==

Instead of just pulling a youth player onto your A team using scouts, you can set up your own Youth Academy, which has a team that can compete against other youth academy teams in a [[Youth league]], together with your friends. You can create these leagues yourself, and the amount of teams playing in a league will vary between 4 and 16. The largest leagues can only be created by [[Hattrick Supporter]]s, but all [[user]]s can join them. Leagues can be made private, so only teams that are invited can join. You can also choose the exact moment when league matches will be played, up to 5 minutes accuracy. You will play a league match every week, and every three weeks have the opportunity to play a youth friendly as well.

When you begin, your youth team will be filled with the "neighbour’s kids." These are players, who for the most part, are without considerable capacities. You can (and probably should) use your scouts to find players to replace them.

==Scouts==
Every week you will have the possibility to use your scouts to search for a talent for your youth team.

The scouts will supply you with new players for your youth team. The maximum number of scouts is 3. When you ask for the scout reports, they present you their player one by one, and provide [[Youth Scout Comments|comments]] on each player. For each presented player you have the choice either to accept him or to send him away hoping that one of the next scouts presents you a better player. Be careful, once you’ve rejected a player, there’s no possibility to take him back.

You’re not obliged to have 3 scouts. If you have less than 3 scouts your wage cost for your scouts will be lower, but the chance of finding real talent will also be reduced. The total cost for 3 scouts is similar to the cost of the old youth squad.

==Training==
You can choose a primary and secondary training. The primary trainings will give you reports on the actual level of one player, and the secondary training will give you reports of the possible level of one player.

Players in the youth team also have a cap for their qualities in a certain [[skill]]: at a certain moment the player won’t improve anymore, because he has learned everything there is to learn about that skill. Because you can’t see the skill of a youth player, you will have to watch his performances and coach reports to determine whether you should stop training him on a skill or not.

==Promoting to the A Team==
You will be able to promote a player from your youth team to your A team, as long the player is a minimum age of 17 years and 0 days, and has been in your youth squad for at least one [[season]].

==Differences with A Team==

*The youth players don't receive any [[wage]]s, but the youth matches don’t give any [[attendance|profit]] either.

*The youth team is mostly independent from the A team: matters as [[team spirit]] and [[flag chasing|flag collections]] are independent, at least if they are implemented, which is not a certitude.

*It’s impossible to sell or buy players who are in the youth team. Also, the [[transfers]] between your youth squad and the A squad is one way traffic, i.e. you can’t place any players from your A team in your youth team. Furthermore, the youth team may only have 16 players, so make sure you have an open slot when calling an agent.

*The [[training]] type for your youth players is independent from the training type for your A squad.

*Youth players heal [[injury|injuries]] much faster than senior players.

==Strategies==

{{based on opinion}}

Probably it’s best to wait until the player is fully-grown, then it’s possible that he’s even older than that. But such a player has advantages: he can be trained on more than one skill and he will be better than the average youth pull from the current youth squad. The philosophy that most players should be kept in the Youth Academy for the longest time to maxmimize their multi-skill potential is known as [[Zugism]]. Also, there have been rumours that players that are called early, decline two to three levels in ability. Supposedly the trainer will tell you when the player is ready to be promoted. On the long term, this means that there will be less youth players, but their average level will be better. Alternatively, some Youth Academy managers, following the philosophy of [[Xarnism]], maintain that the maximum potential of Youth Academy training can be achieved by focusing on producing young 17 year old products with high primary skill, and one useful secondary.

==Leagues==

You have the possibility to let your youth team play in a [[Youth league]], together with your friends. You can create these leagues yourself, and the amount of teams playing in a league will vary between 4 and 16. The largest leagues can only be created by ‘[[Hattrick Supporter]]s’, but all [[user]]s can join them. Leaguess can be made private, so only teams that are invited can join. You can also choose the exact moment when league matches will be played, up to 5 minutes accuracy. You will play a league match every week, and every three weeks have the opportunity to play a youth friendly as well.

Only after 11 weeks (i.e. 11 scout reports) your youth team will be completely filled with your own youth players. Until then your youth team will be filled up with ‘the neighbour’s kids’. These are players, who for the most part, are without considerable capacities.

==Scouts==
Every week you will have the possibility to use your scouts to search for a talent for your youth team. You will be able to promote a player from your youth team to your A team, at least if he has been there long enough and is 17 years old. Only one youth pull per week is possible.

The scouts will supply you with new players for your youth team. The maximum number of scouts is 3. When you ask for the scout reports, they present you their player one by one, and provide [[Youth Scout Comments|comments]] on each player. For each presented player you have the choice either to accept him or to send him away hoping that one of the next scouts presents you a better player.

Goalkeeper

2010-11-04T04:07:16Z

Awiseman: spelling

{{Interwiki/Goalkeeper}}

'''Goalkeeper''' is one of most important [[players]] of a [[team]]. Goalkeeper has a very big influence in the defence [[ratings]].

Primary skill they use is [[Goalkeeping]] and secondary skill is [[defending]], although [[experience]] is also important.

Some teams used to choose their goalkeeper as a [[Set Pieces]] taker. There was no penalty for doing this, but it was disallowed as an option in [[global season|season]] 37 (October 2008).
