And that the exact point of Marin's interogation and part of the solutions he is wondering about.

Exactly. The more I think about it, the more I am certain that changes to such high salary bot rosters should only be done at the end of the season.

Good morning dear GMs,

I also have question about one of my league bot-opponent (26302). The team salarie is now the fith highest of the whole league, but luckily the 2 top-men are injured. So the missmatches weren´t that bad. (The bot used to have the highest salary costs at the begin of the season)

My question is more an economical one:

How can the bot keep a 106k roster, while his arena is reset to 5k seats with minimal prizes, still with the come-down negativ momentum (visitors), loosing most of his games?

Atm he should loose money and should be overindebted. Usually a human manager has to sell his player at this point, while the BOT is keeping the high-income-players.

My questions now: Is this wanted, to compensate the weaknesses of a BOT? Do the financial/fan - mechanics do not effect the BOTs?

This passed manager had some nice league player, which ones could be interessisting for the TL, so other active manager could use/develop them for their team. (me for example :-D )

Don´t you think it is a waste to keep them out of the market, playing for an insolvent BOT in the IV.?

If it´s your aim, to get BOTs more competetiv (I would like it :), then this would explain a lot and my questions would be irrelevant.


Best Regards

As for the story of their finances, the simple answer is "they have no finances, so no bankruptcy possible".

I really think they have finances - only thing is they can't go bankrupt.

AVERAGE staff salaries in my league are 66k and if I remember correctly last season even were above 100k at one point. 50% bots in my league though.

For now, the clear disadvantage of bots is the fact that they have minimal enthusiasm

how's that, minimal enthusiasm? i thought bots always played normal, which should mean enthusiasm always at 5. 5 is somewhat low but it is not minimal, minimal is around 1. or does enthusiasm works differently for bots? if yes, where is this information in the rules?

It is different for bots and no, this, like many other details is not in the rules. The bots do have ent set to 1, due to the players being extremely unhappy with the club being without management.
