Our dev team has thought pretty hard about ways to make this happen, and we've had two or three pretty serious proposals on the table, but we found flaws in each of them and we really need something that's going to work long-term. Perhaps we should take this to another thread someplace, and I'd love to hear some good suggestions for changes we might make.

(18784.17)

So I would like to start with a suggestion. I hope this topic will only stay at the pro's and cons of the suggestions, we already have another topic about the discussion wether daytrading is right or wrong (9808.1)

1) Add a minimum amount of weeks before you can put a player on the TL. So let's say the minimum amount of weeks is 3. Then you buy a player and you need to keep him at least 3 weeks before you can put him at the TL again. In the meantime you may fire him of course.
I guess this will slighty reduce the power of daytrading, because buyers will need to pay at least 3 weeks of salary. So then we don't only have a selling fee, but also 3 weeks of salary costs.
Daytrading then becomes 'weektrading' , and it's still possible, but harder. Teams who don't daytrade will barely notice this change, because they usually keep their players longer than 3 weeks.
Disadvantage: we may see a huge drop in players listed in the first 3 weeks after this would be implented, but after that it should be back to a decent level again.

to complicated, if you want to take money away from traders just raise the transfer-fees... the 3 week-thing changes nothing i would even say it raises the profit of course the inflation and you could give the players freethrows and stamina as well.
anyway i stated my opinion in the other thread. also you should use the suggestion forum, 2 daytrade threads in global is to complicated....

Here some ideas:

- Increasing the fees when you buy a player, from 80% to 50% (or other %)
- Limit in the sales per season or per week
- Impossible to resell a player immediately but you can put him on the market afer 2/3 weeks
- Introduction of drop in the enthusiasm, every sales can drop of a % your ts
- Fees on the sale price base (in sokker is 4%)

Oops yeah, sorry

1) Morale

When you buy and sell lot of players during the season it should have impact on your team chemistry -> player ratings and offensive flow should decrease and so on. Players don't know each other and they don't play and practise as hard as they usually do because team morale is low.

2) Fanbase gets angry when you trade players too much

If you change your players way too often you should get lower atteadances at your homegames and less merchandise revenue. Fans cannot get to know the team when there's lot of transfers and they refuse to attend games. There's currently this kind of element in this new fan survey thing, but it seems to have very little impact to anything. Make daytrading cost much more in many areas, not just transfer revenue you get back when selling.

3) Limit the number transfers per season

Why not to limit the number of different players team can have in single season? For example here in Finland top league team can have maximum of 24 different players in their squad per season. If you sell player you wont get that player spot open until next the season. Sure there could be some exceptions like injury problems for example. This thing shuold be very easy to implement.

Quite the gravedig here.
