The 2nd National Online League of Season 6

How about this......
Have 12 teams, NOT based on regions but just named after random poker terms eg Big Slick, Squeeze Play, Royal Flush etc. Have a pool of players with the team captains submit a list of 10 players they want in their team, if two captains choose the same player then he chooses who he wants to play for. The remaining players are allocated at random between the teams and the same happens to any new players, this way the team sizes stay the same.
The following season the captains can name 10 or 15 players they want to keep, the rest go back into the hat.

I was always last to be picked for football in the school playground! :"(

For an exciting variation on that, you could allow captains to pick players for *other* teams - that way I might be one of the first to go, principally because I often turn out to be the kiss of death(*) :"(
(*) in some cases, literally - I had two horses in my work"s sweepstake for the 2011 Grand National: Ornais and Dooneys Gate. Died at the 4th and 6th fences, respectively.

Not going to go into all the negativity surrounding team sizes etc. guys as it seems to be a recurring (nonsensical) theme. All I will say is why not put that energy into doing as Team Scotland and others have done and get recruiting

I read in this thread how much of an advantage Scotland , Wales etc had with team size , can i just say that we grew that size from nothing a couple of years ago through recruitment and promotion, to the team it was last year , and resent the comments of unfairness made.
Are we really going to go back down this road again , it seems that this discussion arises in between every league break and is becoming tedious to say the least.

APAT has asked for a discussion, which is why there is one. You can"t close it down because you don"t like what people are saying. I don"t recall seeing negative statements, as you claim, apart from your own. What I have seen is people putting forward constructive ideas.
And the idea that other regions can go and recruit members like Scotland supposedly did is unfeasible. They don"t have the inherent advantage that Scotland has of people who grew up there but live somewhere else wanting to play for them.
You would like to keep this advantage. You can post your views to try to achieve that, but other people are entitled to post theirs, whether you resent it or not.

I disagree - we grew Glasgow the season before from nothing , so this destroys your point here and i am all for discussion , just the repeated suggestion that we gained an unfair advantage due to team size gets a bit tedious
