- Allow to promote a player as a trainer. The level of the trainer will depend not on how much you pay for it, but on his TSP at the moment when you decide to promote him. For example TSP>130 -> level 7; TSP>110 -> level 6; TSP>90 -> level 5 etc etc.
Allowing the manager to influence the player decreasing speed at a fixed convenient price, like 50k per 10 games.


I'm curious why you'd pick TSP at the moment of promotion. I'd think experience would probably be a better choice, or maybe maximum TSP during his career (which I think is stored because of the Hall of Fame), but you may have a better reason for this.

I prefer TSP at the moment of the switch because I think it might be the most fair option. Maximum TSP will encourage overbidding on extremely old player once good, while experience will not account for the effort made to train a player, since if they are put in a 3 or 6 players training rotation they usually end up playing less than a normal player.
TSP at the moment might also influence the switch decision making process, since as an owner of the club I'd have to find the proper balance to reconvert a still valuable player into the trainer.


That makes sense, for sure. On the other hand, I think the main reason I'd like something like this personally is to keep players who have been part of my club for a long time and allow them to continue to be useful. Maybe a "max TSP with current club" instead? That eliminates the overbidding on very old players, but still acknowledges that the player was once better.

I'm out of +1s to give, but it's a fun idea.
