Isn't This Supposed to Be Fun?

Sorare just released a survey outlining several potential solutions to the DNP problem — players who don’t play due to injury, rotation, or late scratches.On the surface, some of these ideas look reasonable. But only one of them even begins to address the real issue with DNPs.The real problem isn’t fairness.It isn’t optimization.It isn’t even results.The real problem is engagement.Once a lineup has a DNP, most managers mentally check out. There’s no suspense. No sweat. No reason to watch matches or follow scores because the outcome feels predetermined.In this stream, I’ll break down:• Why most DNP solutions miss the core issue entirely• Why “competitive integrity” alone doesn’t fix disengagement• How DNPs actively remove the fun from the experienceDo you have any solutions?
