But I feel bad for some of the FM reserves (and other players) who wont get a chance in the league because the captains can sign a european national player just to keep up with the other teams. I know that's what the reserve league's for but they wont have a chance when captains can take their pick out of the top players in other leagues. Those people play in other leagues already.
We have some great players who are improving but will they have to get stuck with reserves forever? How can they get motivated and stay active? I know you can say they will get trained in reserves but they wont get much individual advice and help.
I'm really grateful for being signed in s2 even though I was new to FM and haxball, so I'll be disappointed if other players wont get that same chance. I guess I'm trying to say that I don't care how many foreign players there are, as long as the teams are balanced and give inexperienced british players a chance too.
But its not like people is the reserve leagues who are British should have priority over anyone else the fact remains if you are good enough you will play it as simple as that. Also there is a few on this forum who play in other leagues so its not as if they are being held back because they are not whatever nationally the league contains of.
The best form of motivation is knowing you are not good enough and need to improve, that's how people get motivated by knowing they need to get better.
The way you say give inexperienced British players a chance I really don't get why people feel the league has a social responsibility for these players.They don't. Everyone no matter what nationality should be picked based on how good they and their attitude. The leagues competitive by introducing worse British players means the league standard decreases and it sacrifices the growth of all the players in the league with playing with a better quality of player means you get better so hence vice versa playing with worse players makes you worse it defeats the purpose in the league being competitive.
