Well i said probably......
And i said that because most of the users who were talking about this and they are playing in big BB Nations said that they will probably choose a small BB nation. If 40 people choose India for example then among with the local users they will fill at least the 2 biggest leagues.

40 people will not be able to choose India, as they have only 28 active teams. The smaller the league, the less chance there is that it is populated by secondary teams, making the whole "population/making league more interesting" argument kind of invalid.

I think this is a great idea. There are negatives, as mentioned, but I think they are definitely outweighed by the positives. The "Utopia" country idea sounds interesting. The only problem is it would not only keep current bots, but also create more (wasting database space) depending how the league's set up. Also if separated by divisions how will it be decided where team's end up? Either way, I like this idea. Here are some of my thoughts.

1. Supporter should be considered an account thing. As long as the account has supporter then both teams should benefit. Paying for supporter a second time (although half price) seems redundant.
2. Should be able to be B3 eligible if primary isn't (already mentioned).
3. These teams being placed in other countries is fine for the most part. However, the issue of teams' ability to ruin other countries' top draft picks will need to be addressed.

If this feature goes through, when will it be implemented? S27 (or even S26 all star break)?

I was thinking something similiar.

To be honest, I voted no and I really dont want to see this implemented for all the reasons already mentioned, but if it were to be implemented with all the restrictions BB-Marin has wrote, then I dont think it should be free for supporters nor be only for supporters.

the only way id want to see it implemented is as a one time payment. Whether you are supporter or not, pay $10, for a second team(only once) and itll still be connected to your primary team and all the restrictions will still apply, but youll just have a second team. Thatll also help with the constant league and team shifting that would happen due to peoples supporter running out. I just feel like theres gonna be a lot of inactive second teams while people are waiting to renew their supporter and thatll just make the use of a second team a waste. If you make it a one time purchase of $10 or maybe more or less then people who buy it would be people who would be serious about their second team, so that would eliminate some farm team possibilities(not all but some), it would maintain the competitive side to it because people paid so they are going take it seriously and dont have to worry about it the team just going inactive in 90 days when their supporter runs out.

I also would want to see it in a world league set up.

Second team, second love.,???? there is only one love...our love for our team...
i see no point giving the opportunity to supporters to start a brand new second team....
BUT what you could do instead is give the supporters the chance to start a youth/academy team...a U18 team that would compete against other U18 teams.

-Transfers of U18 players permitted only between teams that have youth clubs, and because all players will have low skills,transfer fees wont be affected,
-Training of U18 players permitted with the restriction no player can get a skill bigger than strong so farming will not be encouraged

I didn´t read all the messages... but, did anybody think in learners?? new managers all around the world will compete against other managers with many years of experience... i think they will leave the game when they will see that can´t go to highest divisions while he is learnning, because always there are better managers with two teams that don´t need to learn about the game...
I say a big NO... nobody can have a second team that can compete with other teams wich are the only one of a manager...

Second team must be a female team.

Maybe its a good idea to make the second team free for suporters and a small amount (10 dolars) for non suporters. That way it helps the game and nobody can complain.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I like this idea. However, I have mixed feelings on the B3 restriction.

Positive - Reserves B3 spots for each country to local managers
Negative - Doesn't reward managers for being highly successful in their secondary team, therefore these teams may be more likely to be managed for other purposes.

Possible Solution: Create an alternate B3 for Second teams

A really good idea. Asking people's advise is an even better one

I think that it would work a LOT better if the second teams were all in "Utopia" instead of current countries:
-you keep all the pros
-you take away 2 of the 3 cons
