If people want to play the position, they're more than welcome to, but unfortunately, they don't seem to be very popular positions any more, especially DE.

This is something I’m actually planning on proposing during the GM summit, so we’ll see how that goes. Specifically, I’m currently thinking DL and K/P 200 TPE filler bots.

These bots WILL NOT replace the positions with bots like the OL bots did. These bots will only be 200 TPE so that any user can quickly surpass them and enjoy the position is they so wish. You could even have all the DL bots be 50ibs lighter than their archetypes and the K/P bots not receive the recent K/P experience buff. If a user wants to be a DL or a K/P, they will become better than the bots over the course of one, maybe two seasons depending on activity.

The purpose of this is that it would reduce that 18 players needed per-team thing from earlier all the way down to 13 players needed. So instead of the league needing 144 players, the league only needs 104 players. That’s almost as many as many players as we had update in S7.

And it's not like people would be any less frustrated by coming in and seeing players with hundreds of TPE advantage over them already at the position they want, because here's the deal....if it was 5% carryover on a 1000 TPE player you're looking at 50 whole TPE. It's a nod of thanks for sticking aorund but it isn't exactly some kind of game changer that puts people insanely behind.

It's one of many many ideas and possibilities up for debate right now. Double the normal amount actually (spoiler: for this offseason, the rules summit is double the number of possible rule proposals).

And it actually has a decent chance of passing, actually.
