C'mon snuzers, be real here. The examples you give are true, but they don't defy logic like what you require.
Why don't you go sell all your players and see how many legal lineups you're able to set?
Now don't fly off to the extreme here....I never intended to eliminate forfeits all together.....
however, you could make it so you can't sell or fire players once you get to a minimum number of players......
it also isn't realistic for someone to sell off their players to the point they have nobody left....they would sell the franchise or fold.......
Being a normal, somewhat sane individual, I wouldn't sell all my players. I would just stop playing. However, set a minimum roster requirement, default a lineup and be done with it.
As I posted before, it's not realistic for a "professional" team to forfeit. You need to make the game "idiot proof".....
even if it's a minimum of 7 players or 5 players, or whatever, enforce it and don't allow depth charts to be saved with a starting five slot empty and see what happens......
I dislike the notion that it is impossible to do. Now, if the issue is that it won't be done...ok. Say that then. I'm a big boy. I can take it. My days of thinking I should get what I want, whenever I want it (like my 6 year old are long gone)....at least my 13 year old has accepted that as well.
