Just asking as I have been away from the game for a while now. Is this procedure followed for any team which is going bot if they have a NAT player.

yes

I try to catch them but the rule is "if a nat manager or asst contacts us" that extends to other long term managers who are helping us unofficially.
It will be automated in the next season or so as well

If we go down the route of top X seeds getting a bye, you don't lose a game that you currently play you just don't get the extra one
Also teams will be seeded completely and top seed will play bottom etc
That's good to hear 👍
Lol, not sure why I suddenly realised what you actually said as I was cleaning the cat tray🤔

So we will lose a game against how it used to be, not gaining that experience and money back will hurt teams like mine, I've been suffering with playing the top seeds for seasons now and had hoped any changes would bring back the days of playing the pants teams for the first couple of rounds.

Then again you can't always get everything you want, been plenty of things implemented recently that will keep me happy.

And we have to be careful about throwing more money into something that has a lot already, maybe you could use some more, but do we give everyone more because we deem that your style of play should be rewarded more
What we are trying to do is even it all up eventually but we need to make sure we have the whole picture in front of us before we start turning taps on and off

Although my style of play uses the least smount of money in the game, I can't buy players to succeed so the extra rounds of funds & experience in the PC is critical, remember I'm simply asking for it to be returned to how it was previously, it worked fine then.

I'm not asking to keep anything that allows me to make millions a season, I'm simply asking for a Cup that allows those in the top 512 to be seeded and not to meet anyone else seeded till say our 3rd game.

I understand Wolfy, I do

We will get back to that eventually but I think we need an interim solution until then that doesn't include bots

What is the international calendar for this season? I was just trying to work out which fixtures my opponents may be missing key players in the senior matches.

Technically this season is correct as Youths had elections so they go second

But previously it use to alternate which it hasn't done recently
Ash obviously adapted the code for it so we will look at it shortly to review

Hi, There's a bit of confusion and I am not sure if this has been discussed before, after the introduction of YT20?
Which formats of the game give maximum and minimum experience to U20 player? (Assumption: All the formats are being played in same division)

Regards
atimukt97
I would like to believe SOD being max and YT20 min
