Riffing off your idea - what about sets of bots that GMs can either select/draft/purchase/whatever. In the offseason, after the draft, you can then grab a Pass Defense or Rush Defense set, Rush Offense or Pass Offense set. It comes with pre-made bots with defined attributes. The bots can still be traded between teams, but at the end of the playoffs they are reformed into their sets and reassigned to teams.
GMs have to do nothing except select the set that matches their draft choices. Or you make the sets draftable so there's some element of skill in building teams - or purchasable if you want to be conservative.
To be honest I don't think the current system is the worse though. The active players are still the stars of the DSFL, to my knowledge.
I've actually got a plan to help GMs with creating new rosters each off-season and it'll be very easy for them to define the archetypes by player and where to allocate TPE. I'm hoping that it would only take an hour for them to build out a complete roster once I'm done with a roster builder tool.
GMs are already updating player bots with some GMs updating 2 player bots a week. I don't think updating a few more every 4 week interval will be an issue.
I do like the idea of bots that GMs can select and a good compromise might be to allow each team the ability to select a bot set with pre-made attributes.
