d allow all teams to jump on the good round 1 rookies or indeed jump off the round 1 duds does resonate. To mitigate that I would further suggest that the round 1 scores don‘t get taken into account from a cash generation perspective (only). Note that this does not mean I am an advocate of scrubbing round 1 scores altogether.
Agree - like the debate about the game.
Disagree on scrubbing round 1 scores from price changes. Another change suggested that would disadvantage those who got round 1 rookies correct. Whilst nice to get a few extra points, the true value of rookies is price increases. If you take that away from those who picked the right round 1 players, it is extremely unfair.
The fairest thing to do would be to keep a very limited number of trades (2-4). However, do concede they will need to o***et this with the marketing strategy of re-engaging the masses. To get full unlimited trades/no deduction from starting limit is simply forgetting round 1 and would be a kick in the face of the "expert" coaches - needs to fall somewhere in between.
In theory they should reduce the total 30 trades as well - as we have 5 less rounds. Would also mean people have to choose between premiums and not all aim for the exact same side by "full premo" time.
Taking them away from the initial 30 with no round two limit is clearly a big win for those with average round one teams.
Limiting round two trades to 2 (status quo) is a huge win for those who nailed selections in round one.
I suspect they will land somewhere in between, keep the 30 trades and cap round 2 trades at between 4-8. I feel that is the best of both worlds.
I also suspect majority of supercoach subscribers don't play to win the overall 50k, pipedream maybe, however are more playing with friends within leagues. Those players do not need to refresh their whole team to be reengaged, they simply need the ability to reconsider their side.
Four round two trades will likely see mid range supercoach players bring in 3-4 players who scored 100 in round one, and make their team on paper look very good going in to round 2. Which brings back the excitement the organisers would be aiming for, without completely disenfranchising those who are the super keen coaches and believe round one should be honored.
