I think this has been suggested a couple of times ... but I still kind of like the idea of being able to insure your key players. And even though this idea probably needs some work (for example, I'd like it if you couldn't bid on players on the market but rather have a different "pool" of players that have already retired and have something like 2/3 of your injured players skillpoints or something alike) ... just thinking out loud. But I guess if we developed something that seems manageable to implement, the BBs might think about it....

Think of it as hedging your investment in a commodity trading game. Remarkable how well that concept fits here.

I don't like it, plus in reality insurance always equals losing money (in the long run).

The 1 million won't buy you a decent replacement too, plus if you buy a new guy you have to cope with too many players a few weeks later, kill your fan survey and so on...

Without injuries the game remains predictable and a manager is not forced to think on a short notice at times, making the game quite boring.
