2. Introduce Filler Bots

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.

I've said it all season but this is the idea that I like the most although I think bots should be available for every position. My thought is the bots are all a flat TPE (say 200-300) and would cost (estimate 50%) more than a player of the same level. The purpose of filler bots is to provide a team a stop gap when there's a hole in their depth chart. They are not meant to be displacing active players. My thought with bots at every position is that it would allow users more options with positions. I know we've heard countless times over the past year that many people play a position out of team necessity and really don't enjoy it.

***Numbers and percentages I mentioned are just a starting point I had been thinking about.
