Subject: »[idea] limited number of players in a senior squad

I don't think he should be banned for things the game allows you to do.
The devs should alter the rules in order for those managers, not being able to exploid the TL anymore.

Max 25 bought players + unlimited own youth players
Minimum 5 native players in your line-up for League matches
Maximum 20 foreign players in your total squad

"Minimum 5 native players in your line-up for League matches"

why this?? -999

I was talking about the arcade bug.
The rules says that "it is forbidden (...) to use any encountered errors in Sokker to one's own needs (every traced bug should be reported to the admins)"
Some exploited this bug non stop for years...

It has been removed over a year ago :-s

Why not?
You hate Argentinians?

nope, but it´s a rule that limitates you, if 1 day you have 3 argentinians with injuries? you can´t play? :P

You can always promote a youth player if necessary...
But the line-up should be bigger as well...
If you start a match, you have 11 starters and you should have up to 8 possible substitute places and you should be able to do 5 substitutions as well...
So, in a team with 19 possible player spots, 5 is not an exaggerated number imo...

You're looking from big country perspective. For small countries this will be a necessity to play with some "below average" players.

Let's take Cymru as an example. 15 accounts are currently created. Will those 15 accounts provide enough players for Cymru players to trade them? How long would take for those accounts to create and train 5 good Cymru players?
Will winner of their national league be in huuuuuuuge disadvantage when playing Champions league? Since he will have to use those average player in match against ie. Polish/Romanian team he would not stand any chance.

Also remember that sokker is just a game. The more sophisticated it become, the less new players would be interested in joining it. With current player base, this is not something that should be done. I guess...

Agree with this. That would be a huge disadvantage for small nation teams.

I'm only talking about League games! So the ''disadvantage'' counts for ALL teams.

Cannot anyhow agree with 5 native players in line-up. Idea is brilliant for players in 1st div, since youths system wouldn't be a cost for them, what about teams in 3rd or below leagues in smaller countries, youth system even in Estonian 3rd tier is unimaginable for me at least as if i would open one, i'd definitely go at least for Magic Youth trainer otherwise it's non-sense to have one at all. Youths should be optional.

What if each team, which doesn't have a youth academy (even bot teams) have a hidden youth team, but pulled youth players would instantly come for sale on TL without club?
It's a perfect money sink, imo...

And what if there are 2 kinds of Transfer markets?
Players U21 should come for sale first in the local TL (country) and if not sold, the player automatically comes on international TL (current known TL)
This way, you can push youth development within a country, so the community has a fair chance to train and develop youth prodigies of their own country.

I like the idea that "native" players should be excempted from the squad limit, whatever it may be.

I just hope that devs in the future will make it easier to spot when one of my previous youths are put on the transfer market. Today, you have to check the archive-function for this (which I always forget), but in my opinion, it should be much more visible and actually alongside the other active transfers in the office. Otherwise, the bookmark function is pretty useless imo.

Could you not..........tell who he is?

just a notification would do, "XXX player of your youth team has been put on the transfer list..."

Must not be that hard to do actually!
