Yep too few managers has led to huge bloated squads and I include mine in that.

Hercule Poirot

Problem is no one has a chance to build anything given the current status quo - all the best players and all the hot prospects have been snapped up

It would take a new manager years and years of real time to be anywhere near competitive and I'd say most people couldn't be arsed

redzerdrog

Squad cap the only way to go

redzerdrog wrote: »

Should have been enforced from the start. Could still be worth trying to do though

Hercule Poirot

Considering the low number of managers not just a squad cap but a ratings cap as well, for example, you can have only three 95+, twenty 90 to 94, etc etc

Not those exact figures but something like that

But it's all just talk because you'd need all managers to buy into it and to be fair some guys have spent 6/7 years building their teams and won't want to dismantle them - and they shouldn't be forced to either (not that you can force them, but you know what I mean)

redzerdrog

Even a reasonable squad cap of say 40 first team plus 60 youths would still allow people to hold onto what they have built and still somewhat stop to the hoarding of players

eh i dunno

One team having nearly 50 goal keepers is a bit of a joke alright. Squad cap of 25 first teamers plus 75 youths should keep everyone happy

king size mars bar

IT is tough to try build or better a squad when players who would make your team are warming a bench in other clubs and never become available.

TheGunns

Applied for Everton now, old returning Ajax manager!

mackeire

Said it years ago about squad caps.
33 first team players and whatever amount of youths

Even 33 is a lot. 25 would be loads

redzerdrog

Sorry lads can’t comment on SM as chat is disabled thanks to someone getting precious.

Another option would be a Boards 2 league and implement all these criteria from start. This gw dying a slow death anyway

You did, but nothing has changed since with regards the game mechanics. I believe that the majority of managers always backed squad caps provided they were enforceable, but they just aren't so the discussion pretty much ends there.

It's been the key glaring omission in Soccer Manager for quite some time now and that clearly doesn't look like changing any time soon due to the blatant ineptitude and/or apathy of the owners.

The game as a whole is dying a slow death, not just our league.


On a somewhat related note, the whole SM Elite thing is pretty hilarious too. It's a partnership between SM and Xaya (some cryptocurrency crowd). Xaya have their part of the project done (and done for a while too) while SM are still dawdling with their side. It's only at Alpha stage now even though the game as a whole should have been ready sometime last year.

You can have Udinese back if you want? I'm only keeping them occupied so that don't get raided

Ya no problem. Although you might have to wait 30 days before changing clubs. Wilberto will know more on that
