Yep, a nice simple rule that adds a small extra dimension

ï» but i think they shoul also get a bonus  for so many games they play as captain incentivising keeping at least one older player on the roster

I voted no because there isn't a "don't care either way" button and if we had this it's just another thing to guess if it was being used against you or another loss of points on the field for the unlucky teams.

Like this, since it will add to the choices you have to make as to which players play in which game whenever you have a three (or four) game session.  How about the Captain (age 3 plus) adds as many levels as his age?

I quite like the idea of the bonus being the captains age rather than a set 3. ie the bonus represents their experience.  Of course if you play the captain every game it costs more to keep his fitness up.

ï»happy with that on all aspects

Absolutely a good addition to the game

For the Team Captain concept, well it morphed a little bit (as it always does) based on the initial concept and poll.

The poll results are overwhelmingly in favor of the concept.

Andy Bate and then Mark Stretch added the idea of basing the bonus on experience.   Rob Baptiste further said "why not expand it down to Age I as well".   

I've decided to implement this rule immediately for the upcoming season (rather than wait one season).

The new rule is:

1) Each team may select one captain at the beginning of a season

2) The player must be age level I or higher

3) The player must be a Df, Mf, or Fw

4) A captain's total level in a match will be:

   SL + FIT + Age

5) If the captain has been chosen and he becomes injured or is traded/sold a new captain may not be selected for the current season.  

Again this rule will be effective for the season we are about to start.  Once the coding is done for you to select a captain (in 1-2 weeks) you will be notified.
