Adael Amador autobenched for debut 06/09/24

Hello,

I started Adael Amador, and he was autobenched due to “not starting.” He started and finished the game. League 1498, team BomberfromdaBronx.

The last time I can find a conversation on the forums about debuts + auto-bench, it was around here:

Stats for debuting players

Here is a thread about debuting players. No one mentioned Miguel Vargas’s debut so he was not linked up before his debut. If you see a red X, no matter if the player is actually in the lineup, they will be benched and we will not manually change that. Vargas had a red X because he was not manually linked up before his debut. There are a huge number of moving parts in terms of player debuts and also autobench. When those two systems intersect, weird things will happen.

Going forward from 2022, I do not make corrections for auto-bench. There are just too many moving parts to guarantee that auto-bench will always behave in a way that aligns with reality.

If a post like this one had been made well before Amador’s game started or if I had caught his debut on my own, he would have shown up as starting correctly. However, since he had the red X, the best thing to do (other than post to the forums) is turn off autobench, which knows nothing more than “red X = bench”.

This is stated on the lineup page:

The most important emphasis is at the end:

Use at your own risk.

Hope this makes sense.

Gotcha. Appreciate the transparency. Bummer to find out this way, but good to know for the future. Thanks for the quick reply!

I appreciate your understanding on this one. I know it can be frustrating when stuff like this comes up.
