Yeah but I could have saved him like last season, it's part of my job, it's not like if we're short on roster spots

You could have added him once we were out of contention, but they've consistently been away for 4-6 weeks, and so its human nature to not be as concerned adding him when LT was 1 or 2 weeks from going bot. There should be a warning system or something in place where NT managers could get messages when particular players they choose to track are a couple days away from being lost. There's enough on NT managers plates to have to also make sure every potential NT players doesn't go bot.

I'm not really sure how the BuzzerBeater API works, or what you can be accessed through it, but is it not possible someone could build an application that would check when a manager is a week or so away from going bot? Maybe an application where a NT/U21 coach can add the IDs of teams that hold potential NT/U21 players and it will check once a week when those teams last login was, and bring up a flag when they're getting close.

I'm fairly certain you only have access to players skills and minutes (full or partial if there are not in your team). I don't think there's a "last time online" variable

Well I just had a quick look on the bbapi forum, and it turns out there is a last login variable, so yeah it might be possible to code something that reads the last login date of potential NT players.
I'll look into that

Is it possible to add players on bot teams to the NT roster?

There should be an option to "protect" certain players that you don't currently want on your roster, but that you might want in the future.

That or go back to the older transfer list system when every player from a team going bot was put on the TL..
It could solve the current crazy prices situation, but it was changed to try to promote training I believe... Kind of a never ending story
