Well .. i see it this way. If you prevent teams from having Star Players, and then get to develop their own 'grown-ups' stars, and you have to pay them to play on your team each game they play .. that will involve another nice feature of great leagues : Free Agents.

If you, by chance, have a, say, Hobbo, who is 70 SPP, and has a good amount of habilities, but you dont want to pay him as much as the app.fee table you're applying, then you can release him as a Free Agent the next season (or that very season!)

I think Free Agents and Drafts are cool for large leagues. I would go for conventional Star Players on small leagues thou ..

To limit godly home grown stars, which come in abundance in later stages of championships ruining the game (in my opinion), roll a D6 after each SP roll, on a 1 that player has peaked and cannot gain any more SPPs or rolls.
It works, and makes home grown star players more special.

Hey Gurni, welcome! Gotta say though, bit on the severe side for me.

I've got no doubt it works but the hammer's a little too much out of proportion to the nut IMO.

Make them roll after their second skill, and i'm with you on that. After all, even Karembeu learnt how to kick the ball and block some players, not just run!

i c it like that:
THE very good advance beetween 2nd and 3rd edition is that ALL your players can become stars (and match are quicker).
In my league we dont use Stars coz we think that a player like Griff Oberwald will never play in low rated or unfamous team...
And as we dont use 4th edition, we dont do app fee, i dont care if my best player is killed but he hav to play, not leave my team like this.
App fee stop the evolution of your team and i dont think it funny,it is cool to play great team and new ones too.
So,to answer u, we dont use Stars!!!

I agree with Longshot.
The a f are an (bad) adaptation of the system of 2nd edition, but it's a good start. No Super star players in small teams !! Griff would rather to play in Reikland Reavers than playing in an small 200TR humean team.

I agree but I think that SP need no apearence fees, they just need to be more expensive, thus increasing more your TR, which will cause you problems. Perhaps twice the price will make them unatractive enough.
