Hi everyone, A hockey lover from Finland here. I have been looking for another browser-based management game since hattrick.org started dying a few years back. Does anyone remember that game? A football manager game that had around one million users like 10 years ago. Oh those times... Played that religiously, although without much success, I was very young at the time. Of course now I have less time on my hands, but match a day here should still be manageable. Once again referring to hattrick.org, there was only one league match and one frindly/cup game per week! The world has changed with all the mobile management games on the market... After that I have played a bit of the Football Manager series but again without too much success, no matter how much I have tried The browser-based online managers still have their own charm and this finally seemed like a project I could see myself getting behind. And yes, despite the story, I'm still more of a hockey person. My favorite team SaiPa just got eliminated in the playoffs so that frees a couple of evenings in a week for other use such as this...

My team had suddenly acquired a bunch of new players today... The old owner or computer made some moves before I took over yesterday? So now I need some answers: 1. Is there any limit on assigning players to the minors and recalling them? What about a limit on scratches? 2. In theory should I ever have more than 18+2 in the main team? Or should I keep guys scratched just in case? 3. I'm guessing they will stay fit while in the minors but what about confidence? Do players prefer to hang around in the first team or actually get minutes in the minors? 4. And about training: Is the quality of training better in the first team or is playing time (minors) more important? Liking the game so far!

What exactly do these two mean in the defense line settings?
