Captain Change

I generally agree with the sentiments shared here.  Only the most successful teams can generally hit 10+ captain's bonuses. Don't know if that's specific to division 1, but we probably get a boost with the cups (I can generally expect to get 3ish captain's bonuses during the SESL group stages)

I agree with Peter's remark on value - generally 100k for CP makes sense when thinking about what is spent on age 2s, 3s, and maybe 4s. But I'd maybe say CP would need to be closer to 50k before I'd spend it on an age 5. So, maybe I'd value 10CP on an age 5 around 750k? 500k for resources and then the cost of extra slots. But, I also don't think equating captain's bonuses to CP is quite right. The bonus is meant to be a bonus, and it's not completely predictable and requires some roster management to consistently achieve. Most importantly, everyone has access to a free captain at the start of the season, so I think the change value is better to compare against the value gained on the second captain, not the first. And that value is going to be a lot lower.

I do think the 100k cost does make it a bit of a no-brainer for MOT halfway through. The math in my head was that if we could get 4 or more bonuses it would be easily worth it.. We have to remember that at this point in the season the extra training will only really be relevant for...maybe 0.75 seasons? I would guess if my sweeper gets 3 more and becomes a 6/20 next season then I will have had the boost for about a quarter of this season and half of the next before he becomes irrelevant. That seems fair for 100-200k, but I don't think I'd spend any more than that. If I can guarantee that he would get +10 PU, then that takes him to a 5/33, then 6/25 then 6/19, which makes him a useful player getting value on those points for 1.25 seasons. That's definitely over 200k worth of value, but I'm skeptical that I can get 9 more wins of 3+ from here.

In summary? Yes, 100k might be a bit cheap. But, I really don't think anything over 200k makes a lot of sense. I'd support a small bump in the cost.

Captain Change

Is it possible to change captains before Monday's match runs? If so, I'd like to change to SW Jimmie Vaughan. Know it's a tight turnaround between matches, so understand if it's not possible
