In my league we have a very nice manager, who seems to quit the game, sold off most of his players - 4 remain, but he hasnt set a lineup, so all his games result in walkovers now. In my private league two teams forgot to set lineups too - how silly is that?

I suggest that as long as a team has enough players to field a team it has to be forced to do so - if no lineup was set, automatically the best 12 players play, use the same rules like bots (highest salary PG and so on), or a blank lineup with LCD. Who cares about draft picks and -50 if he/she has quit anyway? Protect us active users!

Oh boy, here we go again.

The only proposal that had a sense, some time ago, was to give full minutes to the opposing team when you go for a WO.

You can't force a manager to do something he doesn't want to do. What if I sold all my players, or all but 2? Do you force me to buy new players? It doesn't make sense.

Seriously, walkovers are part of the game. DEAL WITH IT.
You have a free win, +50 free points and a small disadvantage on training, it's not a big deal.
Jesus, of all problems of this game...

Oh come on, gtfo.

Its unfair to those trying to enjoy the game, so if sb. has a team that could play, but he does not field his guys because he does not give a flying fuck, why should I be punished for that?

I dont care about the minutes, I can live with that - all I want is to see good games. Especially in private leagues a walkover does not make any sense, so at least force teams to use a proper lineup there.

So, your problem is not even training, it's a matter of aesthetics.
Again, DEAL WITH IT, it's not hard. There are way worse things that don't work in this game than "I want to watch good games" (ROFL)

And nice dodge by the way: if I have no players in my roster would you force me to buy new ones?
