CAPTAINS RULE , how does it work for YOU ?

Looking at the league (session15) it appears to work for
the teams at the TOP.

RAN>10pu
DEE> 8pu
QOS> 9pu
ALB> 8pu
HUN>10pu

The rest of us get 4/5 pu. SOME even LESS.

"CAPTAIN's in SESL (aged 5+) can have their SL increased by 10 in
a season, be it with CP or the automated Captain's bonus for when
their team wins by 3 clear goals and their club Captain has played
a minimum of 45 minutes in the game."

1. Keep it as it is
2. Drop it
3. Make it 90 mins.
4. Reduce goals
5. Other

my vote on Captains bonus -

1. Keep it as it is

I would say reduce goals by 1.

The top teams will still get the 10PU, and the smaller teams will have a better chance of getting closer to that target.

I would say keep it as it is,

People repeatedly mention that the top teams should get a bonus in diffeernt ways, cash, bonus, etc etc

Well one of the reasons i always oppose those is that this is already a way the top temas get a bonus. you cant take ALL the bonus' away from the top teams,

it means for example that the top temas in Div 1 get a bonus AND the newly promoted teams from div 2 get a bonus and thus an advantage on the teams who didnt perform so well in div 1 the season before - peopl are usually asking for bonus' like this!!

Reducing it by 1 goal is also a no go. the whole point of the bonus is to make teams strive to win with exciting football not just have the top teams go 1 or 2 up then slam everyone at the back and stall the game out. This makes the tope temas puch for goals if they want to get a slender advatage on the other top teams.


KEEP IT!

keep it as is - Captain's bonus for when team wins by 3 clear goals and club Captain has played a minimum of 45 minutes in the game

if it aint broke, dont fix it

Its not broken - dont fix it.

I appreciate that its worthwhile talking about some modifications, but my view at the moment in the main is that SESL was not broken but we keep dicking with it (Re: 400 SL changes last year).

GMcD.

My opinion is 4. Reduce goals

This will help the weaker teams, so it will help me

I vote for option 1.

Reducing goals would make it rediculous, everyone would easily get the 10 points half way through the season. It's supposed to be a bonus for a stunning win. You gotta to work hard for such a bonus.

Also - it's a bonus - not a must requirement. The purpose is not to hand out SL, but to encourage teams to play attractively with lots of goals.

Excellent post Yoav. I agree with all you say (1st time ever, eh!!).

My vote would be keep Captain's Bonus as it is, but Robin is correct to raise it as a topic to debate. That is what this forum is for, and great to see so many managers participating at the forum now.

But I think the stronger teams easier get big wins, so easier get the bonusses, for weaker teams it is harder to get stunning wins to get the bonus, so very hard work is required for it.

In my team there are better times ahead, with a better age 5 player, but that wouldn't change my opinion on Captain's, because it still will be hard for me to get big wins and not being blown out in the other matches.

I'm for option 1 : Keep it as it is.
As has been said in previous posts it is a BONUS.
You're not meant to get it easily, you have to work hard to get it. Making it easier to achieve takes away from the fact that it is a BONUS for a good win and turns it into a something similar to the seasoning of apprentice players.

Keep it as is...

keep it as is.

I can't believe it but we are actually agreeing with Yoav as stated in an earlier reply.

Len L. - MOT

Agree 100% what CEL said.

my vote on Captains bonus -
1. Keep it as it is

Is this a topic that could be revisited and discussed?

I would favour dropping the age requirement to 4, any thoughts any one else?
