![]() | Captain Penalty Taker Posted by |
I'm enjoying the new Captain rules* but I wonder whether we had considered there impact on penalty taking. Should the Captain's extra levels count as SL when it comes to taking a penalty? It seems a large bonus to me, so I'd be happy to see them ignored when determining who should take penalties and what SL the penalty taker is for determining the chance of success. Assuming this is easy for Al to program, what do others think?
* To harp on about age restrictions on Captains, it seems cheap to me to have an Age II Captain, play him in all four games in a session, for a twl SL bonus each game, then just spend a mere 2CP to keep his fitness where it was at the start of the session. But maybe I'd be doing the same if I'd chosen an Age III Captain? Of course, I don't often coach Age III players, so that would mean difficult decisions to be made, but an Age II SL 13 (or 14 if you're lucky) player is likely to be made Captain at most clubs in most seasons, I'd have thought.
