SHN Values
Being reviewed

Domestic Cups
This is something I should have done last season, but we need to change the FA Cup and EFL Cup. Here is the new config

Round 1 – 40 Champ and League One (or EFL2/3) enter. 8 have a bye to round 2 with 16 ties to get 16 winners
Round 2 - 16 winners + 8 byes = 24 R2 ties to leave 12 winners
Round 3 – 12 winners plus Prem/EFL1 teams in 16 ties

Academy
After careful consideration and reflection of the system and economy, I have made the following change to academy.

Minimum players reducing from 7 to 4 – these must include 1 GK
This will reduce the number of new players people need to buy, allows people who WANT to buy still can and reduces the number of players I need to create.

Academy Closure
This is not something I will be considering for the next 2 seasons.

Auction
Back to normal auctions only.

[Ray@Wolves]

Regarding academy, can we have more than 1 keeper?

[JB@Norwich]

no, 1 and 1 only cos of how crap my code is lol

[Ray@Wolves]

Haha fair enough

[Neil@Fiorentina]

Sounds good dude, though I would argue SHN values need to drop, given there's less cash in the game and player transfer values have dropped. There's quite a few older players been/will be sold to SHN as no-one will pay above their SHN value.

[Ed@PSG]

i would probably agree. skill creep makes players even more valuable on SHN. cant ever remember 40m players going to SHN in past, suggesting SHN values are currently higher than market value

[Ian]

Something I have thought about in the past.. Any player sold to SHN must have completed his required minutes.

[Gary@Millwall]

Considering Academy closure not for 2 seasons

what is this actual consideration? Is it Clubs will be able to opt out?

or are you thinking of closing the whole thing? I am hoping it’s my assumption above coz I would be well disappointed if the academy was closed down for everyone

[JasonH@Wolfsburg]

I read it as allowing people to close their academies if they choose to.

Would be mad if Jb was thinking about shutting them all

[Gary@Millwall]

That’s exactly what it is Jason I spoke to JB earlier

[Andy@Berlin]

Thanks for making that clear Gary.If they shut altogether whats the point of taking a lower league side on and planning for the future.

[Mike]

Is that a paragraph or two anywhere that explain the academy element and anything that is required from managers?

[JasonH@Wolfsburg]

It’s in the rules book, and also on this forum. A bit mixed.

I’ll message you

[Ray@Wolves]

Another thought.......have you considered what you are going to do with all the 19yo freebie players that will vanish when they don't make their minutes?

Would it be worth making them available on the bhn list during eos period as there must be a few out there like me who'd buy a couple

[Tim@Leeds]

Spot auctions for them I’d hope….. if there were any
