I'm wondering if people think its better to have good depth at each position or a few stars with average bench?

Depth. If one of your players gets injured, you need to be able to adapt so you can be successful.

depht because with just a few stars you get problems with the GS.

I think good depth is better. A deep team is much more flexible, making it easier to manage gameshape, tailor your lineups, and weather injuries.

does not the new tv contract reward teams and leagues with "stars"?

Not likely. And if it does, it is very small "reward".

We'll have to wait until new merchandising in S10. There we'll be able to correctly evaluate the financial issues related to Stars.

I've had success with depth.

That being said... I just lost my first home game in several seasons to a first place team that has almost no depth to speak of (13059727). That team has by far the best starting lineup in the league. Notice in my loss in 2OT, his starters posted minutes of 56, 50, 55, 50, and 58 minutes each. The rest of his team played a TOTAL of 21 minutes combined. (For those interested, 3 of those players had Strong game shape, and 2 had Respectable at the time.) I'm not sure how exactly his players all managed to play so many minutes with getting too fatigued. My players had generally better game shape and even my bench players would be starters on many of the other teams in my league. I could blame the new game engine, but I think this shows that as long as your players do not foul often, you have a good trainer, (and I presume his starters must all have phenomenal Stamina!), you can also be successful with star power and little depth.

I'll still go with my depth, though. I think my historic record speaks for itself.
