Yes, and i still fail to see with what logic the draft change will create more trained players when 55 TSP PAS are sold for peanuts already.

Depends on who much they increase those starting skills. If those 55 TSP players would now start at say 65 TSP that is an entire season on training saved (i.e. speed up) making them useful in competitive games far faster.

True, but if we close in on the maximum possible for 18 yo of 70 TSP with a large number of draftees we will see the following: all draftees with less TSP are worthless and replace todays 40 TSP lot and second, pretty much all draftees will look the same skillwise.
Now, i consider this extremely bad as it kills variable builds e.g. PF with very low IS or PG with low JS etc.
Much better would be lower but very different starting skills (on todays level) with slightly increased training speed.

You haven't thought about more teams keeping their whole rosters to avoid demotion for example. Or teams just being forced to have better rosters the whole season.
Only 5 teams paying the new salary floor (if they were below last season) compensate the 3M extra bonus for I division.

I've thought about everything. Why would you think otherwise? Do I have to list everything I've thought about it when I make a statement. I haven't had to show my working out since I was at school and I'm not going to do it for you.

No it doesn't because the teams they replace won't be paying the salary floor any more.

My apologies for posting and then removing my post. (By edit, not deletion.)

I was replying here to your post which quoted me but I see my friend Robard spoke for me and correctly told you what I meant. Danke Robard

Big ups for that khenry rule. Immortality feels great.

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

And that final number doesn't include the couple thousand that were auto-listed and sold, so my total was more than the news has.

I agree with you. The proposed skill bump for draftees could even be eliminated if:

1) Training was significantly faster (at least 20-25%), or

2) Training was disconnected from positions and managers could train different players in skills (i.e. a PG in IS and a C in Passing) at the same time.

In fact, option 2wuld also solve the problem of every trainee having the same build because you could train customized builds very quickly.

The obvious winners are managers who've been able to save up their assets. In that sense, I have a lot to gain, but still think this is a terrible direction for the game.

And would also bring more competitiveness that they are talking about, because you could train customized players for strategies different than LI. Now even if you want to play something different its hard to find right players, 90% of transfer market are the LI ready players.
