But you've worked hard for the trophy so why not claim it!


Exactly.

I'm pretty excited, guys. I just stumbled across a US team which has both its first and second teams as 100% HG!

I just happened to be examining the million dollar sale (his team's) of a $13k MVP 19 yo rookie (yep, better than mine) and, as I usually do, have a quick check in case they're HG and both his teams are.

I bbmailed him (biffjones) and let him know about all the HG leagues and to come and say hi. Hopefully we will see him here in the forum at some point.

I went through every player on both his teams and they are all 100% HG.

His teams:

Everett Everyman: (30925)
Monte Cristo Ghosts (Utopian team): (276705)

How many more HG teams are out there that we don't know about...and who don't know about us!?

Home Grown; for teams who like a challenge!

Excellent question (once again)!
In HGL there are teams with 0 purchases in their team transfer history:
-Les Gueux du Marais
-Madrid Chotis
-Suuret Muinaiset
-Club Trouville
-Hårdboll (your team)

Also last season in HGL Holy City Hoopers and Buckner Bandits were teams with 0 purchases in history.

In addition, all other HGL teams that are not mentioned on this listing (327516.67) don't currently have any re-purchased own draftees in their roster (but may have had non-HG eligible, or re-purchased own draftees in their roster before).

Hats off for all teams that have chosen that playing strategy - that, if something, is dedication to highest degree!

After six seasons in ESL, we are now back in Div. II. Along with three potential 10 U19 players! „The process“ has started again…

Just a small update: for the second time, I am getting ready to become homegrown with my main team, and I intend to remain one. Right now, only one 'outside' player (out of 9) remains. Either I will get rid of him at the end of my BBM journey, or at the end of the season, with a draft nearby.

Not really sure I would manage to play scrimmages and get training efficiently with only 8 players. Has anybody tried this during the transition period?

That is awesome to hear, that we might get a new manager into our HGL community!

A couple of months ago MrJ and I had a discussion (unfortunately I wasn't able to find it quickly) of finding an optimal training scheme for 9 player roster with 6 trainees, which was already really difficult. Especially as for at least 2 players in this scenario the game shapes would suffer severely. I would imagine an 8-man roster doable for training purposes and tanking in the league, as depending on your league situation you probably won't be able to stay competitive due to low game shapes at all. I'm interested to hear any opinions on this matter and if there actually is a good strategy to get training and the game shapes somewhat under control with 8 players only.

Alternatively, you could hold onto your non-HG player for now, just to maximize income and training for now and go full HG just after you have gotten your draftees at the end of the season. Just an idea.

Yes, waiting for the draft is my main idea.

Right now, I have 2 players close to the limit of their potential, 2 young perennial stars, and one role player. I don't really see the rationale for 2 position training, so I will finish training my two advanced players, while sacrificing somewhat one of the perennial stars (who might still reach the potential limit quickly with other trainees in a couple of years).

Waiting forward to joining such a nice and welcoming community!
