Further to that, a newish manager likely has more high risk / fringey prospects as they are a little easier to acquire. These guys benefit more from a strong development manager than top flight prospects. That said, there are a few considerations: - the manager pool gets refreshed once per season at the beginning; it's been scavenged hard at this stage. Not much there. - you are in 2nd place 3 games out. A team pushing for a pennant, regardless of the league they are playing in, benefits from a good tactical manager. - we have 4 training updates to go. They seem to be weighted, with the last update carrying a low weight (its pretty dreadful). The benefit of bringing in a strong development manager at this point in the season is reduced. My advice: - never hurts to look. If you can improve development without losing much tactics, or if you can improve tactics without losing much development, it is probably worthwhile. - plan to hire a new manager next season when the pool is refreshed.

I've read what you described in your post on the forum previously, but I've never seen a manager added mid season. This season I've been watching the manager IDs like a hawk, and haven't seen anyone added since Marshall. He's been around for a while (manager 3 IDs back got a gig and has managed every game this season). If you can show me the IDs of these guys being added, that would be great. Otherwise, I have difficulty advising people to check every day for new managers when every good new manager I can find has a hiring date that coincides with the season flip.

There are 5 IDs in that range that give "sorry, not available". So those are the guys yet to be released this season. If you go beyond ID 3430, you get a "sorry, does not exist" error instead. So ya, check in every once in a while to see if one of those 5 is out there. There is a lot of manager transactions at the season flip, so I suspect the bulk of guys are available them.

So there are probably more "new" managers available who are getting dumped by bot teams, but pretty sure all the generated managers are parsed out throughout the season. I don't think any are released on the first day.

They were all created at the start of the new season but are only made available randomly throughout the season, sometimes singly and sometimes in batches of 2-3. You can still track them by ID number and find "this manager is currently unavailable" (or words to that effect). edit: There are currently three still to be revealed from this year's batch. @tdawg1413 - Definitely an improvement. Reyes' only issues are his age and salary, but he's certainly better than what you had. Updated Friday, May 10 2019 @ 7:22:35 am PDT
