Right now again is roster re-shuffle period with the drafties being pushed on the market and several players getting the info to clear their locker because a younger guy will take their place.
All fine and normal. But I did see and read from some users, that they are seeking for certain type of players or skill sets, which are rare to find and then often too expensive, since rare. What can be found on the market are often players who do have several checks on such skills sets, but lack the checks on all, hence they are ignored. INT and TW can't be trained, so those are fix, sure, but for several skills it seems just a bit of training would make a TM bust to a hit, if only someone would train them further. The problem is - the physicals seen on the market are a gamble, unless their are already very high. There is no way to see, whether a physical skill is capped or close to cap, unless you sign him or in case of a sale from another manager, that guy gives the current state away. - that player costs wage, often in 5 figure ballpark, and there is no guarantee to get that spend money back when that guy might hit the market again. With the current pricing on the market, chances are very high you will not make a profit, if any. - and roster space is limited, so even if you like to train some to a better version of itself and you do accept the risk, at 70 there is a limit, which of course incluses all players you want to build your own team with So bottom line is, there is no real benefit to get such raw diamonds and build them a bit better. But on the other hand there is the demand for some of those, so what can be done to not waste the talent on the market, because there were not trained further or capped? I'm writing this, because most managers do have a mature roster and might be able to enhance some of the players and are willing to do so, if the benefit would not be only negative financial results and eventually frustration. |

So you would like something like a practice squad in the game? Might be interesting to have that. You buy a player, put him in PS with much lower salary and see what his potential might be. Would also need some rules to stop abusing of this, but it could be cool

I would love such stuff, and to limit the abuse, to shift a player from PS to regular roster a high fee has to be paid, for example. |

I have found many of those “diamonds in the rough.” They are there. Another strategy is take the mid 20year olds that are slightly underdeveloped. They cost less and you keep them for a decent amount of time compared to 19 and 20 year olds. I personally feel too much hype goes towards the really young and developed players. You can’t really keep them long term because of their cost.

You can’t really keep them long term because of their cost. I know they are there, since I try to develop some and sell them, right now. But the wage spend against the price I get at the end is not a profit, at best a black zero, most of the time a negative business. Hence, if you don't need them for yourselve, there is right now no good reason to do a development on the roster and that means the talents on the market are mainly bound to go to retirment with never getting a chance. Also that makes younger than 20 players even more interesting, since they go to youth acadamy and everyone older less interesting. And most of the time I do not find really interesting 18 to 20 year olds for the YA. Not with the current scout system. |
