Different way of doing reserves

The reasons for a reserve team have been discussed before, what I propose is a different way to do tham.

When you create a new team you get *Free* a fully equipe, filled out reserve team as well. These players in this team have lower stats and/or lack key skills. The specifics would need to be worked out but I've done humans.

Blizer -1 Mv -1 AG, -1 Mv -block
Thrower -1 St, -Pass, -Sure hands -1 mv
Catcher -1Mv, -catch, -dodge, -1Mv
Lineman -1 St, -1 Ag, -1 mv.

Reserves may play in special reserves matches or in the main team. Each 6 SPP let them get rid of the earliest written (ie AG for blitzers 1st time) negative. If/when they get rid of them all they become a rooky with no SPP.

Sounds a bit like the makeweights from 2ed, IIRC they were linemen from that team with a reduced stat but available free.

I've often thought about a practice squad like the football teams in north amreica have, but I thought they should be tied to your leauge team somehow, obviously I havn't thought this out much but I love the idea of having a reserve squad. Maybe the pub leauge idea of the players starting out with a niggle and removing it after the leauge team plays a certain number of games, of course this could become a book keeping nightmare. S.
