I think a few leagues may find this useful too. |
Not in my current plans. Maybe later, but don't hold your breath. It involves a fair bit of work, and adds complexity to the underlying model (ie, grouping of arbitrary number of positions into a "set"). I don't mind complexity as such, but things like this take time which I'd rather spend on other things for now.

More likely than the one above, but not in my immediate plans. This can be worked around, and therefore doesn't feel super critical to me. I understand why you'd want this though.

Hmm. Again, possible to deal with manually and doesn't add a new capability as such to the system. Low prio. |

Fair enough, always worth asking |

This one would be very nice. |

Can anyone tell me how journeymen work with these rosters and the custom rules.
We are kicking off a 7's league where the roster size is 7-11. I have included linemen in each team as the max positional (between 8 and 11) and am wondering if they will be used as linemen. If so, will the journeymen fill out the roster to 7 or 11 players automatically? |

From memory, Christer said that the journeymen mechanic looks for a player in the 0-12 or 0-16 position. Could you have the linemen listed as 0-12 but still only have a roster size of 11? I think roster quantities are independent of league rules so that should work fine. It always has for imported CRP rosters anyway. |

We'll wait for the monthly statistics in a couple of months, but I'm hoping the latter. League has always been the best way to play. Now it's miles better
*the previous statement is my opinion, and thus may contain bias* |

Right now, the number of journeymen will fill up the team to 11 players regardless of any other settings.
This is something I probably need to change. Intuitively, it feels like this should be connected to the number of players on the pitch. Alternatively, a completely separate setting.. |

Does this ignore the Players on team under Team Settings then? I'm sure I've had that working before....?
Tested it: This team https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=824997 only gets journeymen up to 8 players as the team setting is roster size 8-10. The roster itself is standard human, so linemen are set at 0-16. So it should work. |

Ah, you're right. Although there's evidently a problem with validation. In theory, someone with greasemonkey or something similar could get the site to hire more journeymen by editing the form. The custom limit is only on the front end
Not absolutely critical in terms of a problem, but needs to be fixed. |

Great! This is all fantastic!
I read your TODO list Christer and came to (yes I know) another idea. Let me share my suggestion for the time when Bribe/Chef cost will move to Roster level.
I believe the good way would be to define some variables for each team assets for each roster. The method below would let not only Bribes and Chef and all other assets to get customised price but it would even make them able to get bought permanently. Let me show it by example:
ReRoll
Max: 65535 (inf)
MaxAsPermanent: 65535 (inf)
ValueAsPermanent: 70000
PriceAsPermanent: 140000
SellPriceAsPermanent: 0 (sellable but no reward)
MaxAsPermanentForNewTeam: 65535 (inf)
PriceAsPermanentForNewTeam: 70000
MaxAsInducement: 4
ValueAsInducement: 100000
NameAsInducement: "Extra Team Training"
FanFactor
Max: 65535
MaxAsPermanent: 65535
ValueAsPermanent: 10000
PriceAsPermanent: null (not buyable)
SellPriceAsPermanent: null (not sellable)
MaxAsPermanentForNewTeam: 65535
PriceAsPermanentForNewTeam: 10000
MaxAsInducement: 0 (not available)
ValueAsInducement: null
NameAsInducement: null
Bribe
Max: 3
MaxAsPermanent: 0 (not available)
ValueAsPermanent: null
PriceAsPermanent: null
SellPriceAsPermanent: null
MaxAsPermanentForNewTeam: 0 (not available)
PriceAsPermanentForNewTeam: null
MaxAsInducement: 3
ValueAsInducement: 100000
NameAsInducement: "Bribe"
Apothecary
Max: 3
MaxAsPermanent: 1
ValueAsPermanent: 50000
PriceAsPermanent: 50000
SellPriceAsPermanent: 0
MaxAsPermanentForNewTeam: 1
PriceAsPermanentForNewTeam: 50000
MaxAsInducement: 2
ValueAsInducement: 100000
NameAsInducement: "Wandering Apothecary"
Defining the variables above for ReRolls, FanFactors, AssistantCoaches, Cheerleaders, Apothecaries, BloodweiserBabes, Bribes, HalflingMasterChefs, Igors, Wizards on the roster level would cover all the assets a team can have.
A League would be able to allow/restrict them permanently or as inducement, or customize how they contribute to TV. For example setting ValueAsPermanent=0 For FanFactor would exclude FanFactor from TV calculation.
I believe this would be a simple way to deal with team assets flexibly. Please consider implementing it when the time comes to remove hardcoded inducement handling from FFB. |

On Custom Rosters if I take an already bought players quantity down to 0 does that remove the player from the team?
Or do they stay on the team until he dies of gets fired? |

I was doing some changes to my custom roster last night where i removed some positions and created new ones and my guess, after seeing the outcome of my messing around with the roster, is that they are gonna stay but new teams created after the changes will be ok.
On a side note not related to previous point: For coaches planning to use massive rosters (Kind of CRP Ultra roster), the last 0,16, 0-12 position created will be the one chosen by the client for j-men duties. This is usefull for comish to set a j-men of their choice. |

I'm mainly asking for College FUMBBL. As some of the rosters will change as when some players die, e.g. the talented player then that position becomes unavailable.
I'm trying to plan ahead rather than having Coaches waiting on me to adjust the rosters. I can just rearrange it after players have been bought. If that makes sense. |

I believe the following is a bug:
It appears that if the minimum players on a team is set to over 11 (College FUMBBL uses 15) the it'll ask if you want to use Journeymen for missing players, but the Journeymen won't actually appear on the roster. This is likely related to the Journeymen issue mentioned a few pages back. |
