At the moment, there is a header to the Playerlist page like this (see below), would it be possible for there to be some sort of 'warning' (e.g. Text goes Red Bold, or Text has a Red blocked background) if you've got an Oversize Senior roster (like I have at the moment
 ) or an Oversize YA.
"You have 71 senior players on your roster, the allowed maximum is 70. You have 22 players in your Youth Academy." |

Trust me, I know, the first step is admitting you have a problem collecting players.
 lol.
I had this problem then took a step back and realized that many would not crack my starting lineup and would be 4th stringers if anything. I started cutting away at the "fat" so that I had a roster of players I will use regularly with a few backups. Consider that your dc can only have 55 players. The YA has players that you can add each season to help refill backups and eventually become starters. In addition you have your 3 draft picks a season. If you have 70 players then you have at least 10 guys you aren't using and probably never will. After playing for 5 seasons you will have a team with 15 draft picks if you keep them. Throwing in 10 youth guys you have built up. Half your dc are now either draft picks or young stars you've built. There are only 22 starting positions for offense and defense, in general. 7 seasons and you can have an entire starting roster of draft players. So...buying those 30/30 strength and speed guys in the mid 20's doesn't help much except at the beginning of a team's existence. This is all just advice... |

I've read what you said, it's all very good advice ... my problem is that I don't like cutting/selling players ... I'm just toooo kind 
End of season, I'm gonna sit down and go through the roster ... the fat ones, the slow ones, the weak ones, the dumb ones, and the ugly ones ... they're all going to the big -TOG- pitch in the sky ! |

Yes, I have to offset my problem by selling too. lol. Since March 1 I've bought 24 players off the TM but sold over 30. Most of them are youth as I'm trying to get my YA to what I want. My senior team has ballooned to 63, so I'm going to have to cut about 3 guys soon. I use the tool made by tex to help me sort my players. It helps me a lot!

At the end of this season, if I'm still in 1.1. then I'll have a big clearance.
However, if I'm relegated to 2.1/2.2 then I'll .... errrr, .... I'll top myself probably ! .... the thought of playing bots game after game just drives me nuts

I think you're pretty save in 1.1. Just choose players with low int and TW statistics from group which isn't in your depth chart regularly and put for sale to cut the roster without losing any team strength. |

I see he has started to do some purging...lol.
I just don't see the need to keep a lot of players on a roster that you aren't going to use. Well...there is one reason, if you plan to build them up then sell them later on, but I don't have much patience for that . |

but seriously .... I'm just trying to be a bit more "disciplined" ... if you know what I mean. sfniner08 wrote:

The main reason that I got some of those players is that I saw something in them at the time, but now that I've re-evaluated the roster I've realised that some of the players I've got don't really add much playing value to the team. note to self ... lesson learned,be more selective in the future. |

I keep 3 things in mind when looking at the TM.
1. Will they currently or in the very near future replace a starter. 2. Are they better than a current backup. 3. Do they offer something more than what I already have in the YA. |

I did have a crazy idea about using 55 of my Senior slots as Starters/Backups, and the remaining 15 slots as a sort-of "YA overspill".
In theory, it works .... the wages aren't a problem at this stage of the game. But as you (Sfniner08) hit upon earlier .... you'd need a hell of a lot of patience, I don't think I posses it. The other problem is finding the right players to use as "raw material", I suppose I could pull directly from the youth pull to Seniors every week ..... the quality in the youth pull isn't always high enough though. Maybe the idea is a little too crazy after all ......... |
