What about an optional league for established active managers, where entering the league, you play the same 15 other managers. And you have a seperate team, 1. that is completely drafted. Like the current drafting system only you have all the info on enough players for the entire league, and its done fantasy draft style.

These players can not be sold on TL. And, these teams for this league only, are not able to purchase players from TL for their team. You can train/play/fire/draft players however you want... but its a set number of players you have.

Be a fun way to have a fun, competitive, level playing field for active managers that won't quit or leave, or go bot, or anything like that.

Active leagues do not make $$$ for your organization... Just a different take on Private leagues, but one you don't "need" supporter for. Just good company.

That would completely ruin the point of private leagues.

Private leagues use the players you already have though. This is more of a "great equalizer" to where you are essentially seeing pourely the managing of a team and training aspect. And not all the economy aspect.

Okay, I misunderstood that when I read it the first time, and I see how it would differ from a private league. The thing that I'm still not sure about is for the draft, they are completely made up players that aren't already on BB? If it is, I don't know if BB can process all of these new leagues with everything working correctly if they still have some occasional problems with the leagues going on right now (Training delays for example). This would be pretty fun if we could have a league like this though.

I thnk it would make it more interesting if there were 192 players from BB randomly picked(16 teams X 12 player roster). Then you can get instances where your player might be in the draft, maybe they could even use retired players(or only retired players?), but then they would have to redo the fantasy draft each season incase someone got a 300k monster and the rest of the players in the draft were scrubs :P

Private leagues are great how they are...I try and make my Private League by using the WR and salary to get 15 teams of about the same level. I really think that you should go and get supporter and then round up 15 other teams close to your teams level...It is great fun...I think what you are suggesting just isnt going to happen. all the extra work and no money coming in.....Pipe dream at best

People around "my level" don't get supporter often. I agree is a pipe dream, but just a suggestion for a unique, and seperate option, to purely test managerial skills with all else being essentially equal.

I don't know...I got supporter after only 3 months. an extra game a week is huge at any level.

True, but while using the team you have, the players you already have... what will you really learn/accomplish? I understand you can experiment with tactics etc.

But this idea allows say.... a LI M2M team. To have its owner, not have to get rid of every single player and start over. To have the option of trying to find a way to make say.... Princeton 1-3-1 be very effective. Know what I mean?

That is why you scout out the teams you put in the PL...my 1st PL was all teams ranked between 15,000-20,000 and a salary total of under 200K....it was a very good league.
Even as a beginner, the option of having an extra game was worth the supporter fee to me...
BTW...my next PL will be NO LI/MTM....now that would be cool
