I said the following:
"I have 14 players from my 2015 list, who have automatically been classed as GST, most of which I didn't even apply for. Apparently Rhys Palmer is a goal-kicker, despite kicking less goals in his career than games played. I've traded out one player classed as a stopper, however the other GST classified players I would prefer to keep.
So now I have to forcibly delist three to get down to 11? What if they're contracted? I can't play them but I'm still paying for their salaries?
Wouldn't it be just better if you had to name a minimum of six GST players per week, (a third of your team of 18) which would obviously mean that the minimum GST players you need on your squad would be six? That means there would be a minimum 108 players (6 players x 18 teams) required.
For example a GST player should be named at FB, CHB, CHF, FF, RCK and one other position. There should be two GKs, two STs and one TAP named at the very least per week, with the minimum sixth coming from any of the classifications. You could of course name more. You could even get rid of the requirement on positions, if it was too difficult to monitor. When naming a side just put an 'G', an 'S' or a 'T' next to the relevant player's name to enable a quick count.
Naturally you might try to have more that six GST players on your squad, to avoid scoring 0 in that position, in case there were injuries to that player. For example Ivan Maric might be injured, so I might have one or two extra tappers to cover his loss. However I don't need to to this as long as I have the minimum six."
