I noticed that some of the 18 YO FA had salaries under $4500. Was this an adjustment to the plan, or do 18 YO or draft picks get some sort of discount on their first season salary?

no discount — probably they were NT players, and NT players escape a botification no matter what their salary is.

Current NT players? Or perhaps those that had a tryout?

For example (839875) Looking at the Lithuanian NT roster, he doesn't really look like he'd make the squad.

5) Stamina will now decrease during weeks when a player plays too few minutes and during injuries, so as to encourage teams to regularly train it rather than just doing so once.

"too few minutes" being 48 (therefore it would become almost impossible to have squads > 13 players and make all players play 48 minutes) or a smaller number?

With 3 games per week you can have 15 players play 48 minutes. I think that people also overestimate the effect of being a little bit shy of 48 minutes. I really doubt that the stamina of someone who plays 40 minutes per week will plummet like someone who is in a full body cast for 8 weeks.

in theory yes you could have 15 players per week. In practice it is impossible (there is a maximum of 720 minutes per week to be played. If 15 were to get 48 minutes it would mean that they all have to play 48 minutes and not a minute more: 48x15 = 720)


The question is if a player has only 40 minutes per week will he slowly lose stamina? (i.e: in 8 weeks), while the one who hasn;t played any will deteriorate in 1-2 weeks? Will there be a number under which a player will slowly/ rapidly lose stamina?

I have suggested that simply playing in games should have an effect on stamina.

There could be some target level such as 64 minutes equals strong, 56 respectable, 48 average, 40 mediocre, 32 inept, 24 awful, 16 pitiful, 8 atrocious.

Playing that many minutes in a week would cause stamina to change some % (10%?) towards the target level. However, a player who plays above 48 minutes would never lose stamina.

Someone who was at average stamina and was injured for 7 weeks, and then played 48 minutes for 7 weeks would lose more than he would recover, but at least it wouldn't be a case of having to train stamina for the one player.

The announcement suggests that there will be a difference between playing 45 minutes and playing 0 minutes due to injury.

"5) Stamina will now decrease during weeks when a player plays too few minutes and during injuries, so as to encourage teams to regularly train it rather than just doing so once."

about tjhe free agents, in the first anouncement it says that NT Players would become Free Agents, however i know one in portugal who did not...his team become a bot today.

I don't think the announcement said that:

1) When players with salaries greater than $4500/week are on teams that due to inactivity/ban/etc. become bot teams, those players will be released to the transfer list and will stay in the game. The salary threshhold will increase over time. This is the only change that will take place immediately.

I did read one of the BB's saying that NT players would be included. The new threshold appears to be above $5500.
