How would 200k help you in this situation? I assume any insurance would only cover the salary of the player, in your case 200k at best, or what are you thinking of?

I think your bench depth is your injury insurance. Pick up a trainee and train him for 4-5 weeks.

With the insurance money (which needs to be measured on the actual value, maybe the TPE of the player) you get a rental from the TL AND you pay his salary instead of your injured player.


TPE is no way to measure a players value. It fluctuates so hard for some kind of player, it's not even useful. I would hate to see millions paid, just because a player goes down for like 2 weeks. This would also kill any tendency to see transfer prices deflate a bit.

In the long run, the injury bug will affect us all to the same extent. So maybe the issue is not as big as perceived?

...He looks better to me than any of your trainees, but he's just 70 skills short of my real trainees...

That's a pretty vicious burn, my friend. Fortunately, I have e-feelings insurance. I think it covers irrelevant e-peen stroking.

I'll admit I haven't given the thread a serious read, so I'll save any updates to the opinion you were responding to for later. One question though:
For example after the injury and until it's over, the first player the manager acquires will be treated as the designated replacement, so in my case I could go out and find a similar 115-120 TSP SF-like MVP+ 25 year as a replacement for my injured trainee and pay 50% of my winning bid, while the other 50% is paid by the insurance.

This is doable and it's fair for people who are hit by injuries.

Just to be clear, you are saying that you are willing to junk your injured trainee, write him off. retire him,etc.?
