I'd like to do that in terms of interest. But I also think that posters should be able to pick once and then forget about it without being penalised.

I think Red said it was too much of a penalty if your starred player goes missing. So I thought about having a reserve starred player who would get +25% if the other got injured or dropped, but ultimately decided it lacked clarity.
I always say that everybody's right.

I might try the BBC Strictly come dancing approach and announce my line up one player at a time over several days...... build up an air of expectation, try to make it appear much more exciting than it really is
