We had agreed last season that playing a promoted U23 player in the seniors would earn bonus abs.
Unfortunately due to the change of hosts and losing original forum and other factors we aren't able to work out what everyone had or would have had.
By way of compensation for this we have decided that all teams will get a free upgrade which is worth 2 on the main rating. So you may pick any 26 rated player (30 for keeper) who is in their senior team and and aged 23 or under and they will be increased to a 28 rater or choose two 27 raters (31 for keeper) and increase them both to 28.
On top of that all teams will receive an extra 500 abs on top of the bonus abs earned to give to the u23s.
We will not be doing the same this year but will think about other ways to enhance the U23s to make them more worthwhile when they get promoted to seniors.
It may be season 20 when we introduce it though.
