FOBL was been in existence since v3 and 50 seasons. As such, we should be the ones to judge which features to use and we need to test and understand all of the features to be able to do so.
So please, as a moderator, try not to tell 32 paying customers of multiple versions of OOTP that we are not playing the game correctly.

You've put a lot of words in my mouth that were never there.
I'm not saying don't question anything. I am saying that maybe the guy who makes the game and the folks who build the rosters for the game might actually have a clue how things are supposed to work best. Is that really a revolutionary idea?
My moderator status has nothing to do with this discussion. I'm not arguing from authority, of which I have none. I'm arguing from the position of someone who understands the mechanics involved, why they work the way they do, as well as why they needed to be changed from how they worked in the past. That's it.
As for playing the game "correctly", again, you're putting words in my mouth. However you want to play the game is up to you and the members of your league. Of course you should be able to choose how to run your own league. I never said anything different. In fact the first words of my comment that you objected to are "It's your league and your choice to make"!
I am warning you, as someone who understands why these changes were made, that you're doing something that will lead to complications and issues in the long run. If you feel the benefits are worth the price, then don't let me stop you.
But I'd think you'd at the very least want to have as much information as possible regarding the choices you make. That's all I've been doing, offering information and clarification. What you do with it is up to you
