I’m also against trades between the 1st and 2nd team....

How about enabling trades between teams within the same league? With 16 teams in any given division ( so no “up” or “down” trading between divisions), we could think about NBA-style of trades. Imagine deadlines, player deals or BB-money trades.... perhaps even scouting points or first/second picks ? I’m sure I forgot additional modalities so you can complement this idea!


This could potentially lower the risk of cheating for multi-account owners... I’m also aware that this could open up new possibilities for cheating, sure... But I’m also certain that we could come up with some trading regulations.

For example: Team A possesses player John Doe, worth 2M in the regular market (average lowest selling player with similar skillpoint distribution at 1.5M up to 2.5M for the highest selling one). Team B offers 2M cash OR they offer 1.4M and 2 Veteran players worth 500k (total of 1.9M worth). Team A can choose between the offers... and so on.

The general idea should be that a team can choose to receive more or less for the same player as long as the overall selling/buying price does not exceed 10% or 15% of the overall net worth. This should be like a starting point to tackle potential daytrading issues as well as illicit money transfers between teams (Im also certain that a system could be put in place for surveilling conspicuously high or low trade values...

There are more aspects about this idea for sure, Im just intrigued what you guys think about it.

This isn't really what this thread is about but I think it ties in. I don't like this suggestion but something I have always thought might be neat is to be able to buy/trade money for people's draft picks if you wanted. For instance if you have the 4th overall draft pick and someone else has the 1st overall pick, and you would like to select two players that you have scouted you could send them an offer (200k, 100k, or less depending on the position) for their draft pick.

This would obviously just be for your specific league but could help with a couple of things:

1. Make most people want to invest more into scouting and the draft.
2. Create more league discussion.
3. Allow managers to not have to select three scrubs randomly when they are a top team in the league and not trying to draft young players. They can sell their draft picks to others for some cheap but simple cash.

Very rough idea, but I think it works better than the trading of actual players between teams. (If this gets a positive response I can always make a thread for this so it has its own discussion page.

that's an interesting suggestion

To Jovilux and E.B.W

I like both of your ideas. Both would need adjustments to be viable but both work towards the survival of this game. Namely, through, as you put it, E.B.W, generating more discussion, give greater relevance to aspects like drafting (whether you have any chance of securing a gun trainee or not, and make the game a little more fun.

+1 to both of you.
