More than likely, I always offer youth that, never backup.
I once had a youth product of mine that broken into the fringes of the first team so I wanted to give him a better long term contract. He was 19 or 20 and I offered him 'back up'. Did not want to negotiate at all, no matter what terms. I then offered him 'hot prospect' which was what he already was, no problem, he signed on very reasonable terms. Every since that incident, it is always 'hot prospect' for me..

We could start a whole thread on what values people attach to the squad statuses (statii?).

Well...

Indispensible - No one is.
First Team Regular - Just that.
Squad Rotation - Bit of a cop-out, but better than...
Backup - which is my way of telling a guy he's shÃ*te, and about to be sold or dumped in the reserves.

Hot Prospect - The under 23 version of First Team Regular.
Decent Youngster - Same as Backup.

I believe

I was being ironic, but if people really do want to post this;

Indispensible - As few players as possible.
FTR - does exactly what it says on the tin
Squad Rotation - Get the tweezers ready to pick the splinters out of your arse
Backup - fringe player
Hot Prospect - expect to become good, but not really ready for any 1st team action
Decent youngster - don't hold out much hope for you sonny

Indispensible – Only players I could not lure in on a salary of First Team Regular
First Team Regular - Only players I could not lure in on a salary of Squad Rotation
Squad Rotation – Your in, you playing, what’s your problem.
Backup – Pack your suitcase you’ll be leaving soon.
Hot Prospect – I may sign them as hot prospects but I find they are much more keen to re-sign cheap contract if I tell them they are Decent Youngsters.
Decent Youngster – Anyone 22 and under, if you can’t show me you can make the first team by then the promote yourself to the backup team your out of here.

Unless a player will only sign as Indispensible, my entire squad will be on Squad Rotation, Hot Prospect or Decent Youngster.

I may as well join in the fun...

Indispensable - Liability. No one holds me to ransom.
First Team Regular - Just what the label says.
Squad Rotation - Backup players.
Backup - Player/Coaches and over-35 players
Hot Prospect - Good potential. I always like to have one spot on the bench for a senior match reserved for the most in-form hot prospects.
Young Player - The young guys that the jury is out on.

I disagree with Iajafer's nobody in indispensable. Whilst it is rare that I have someone classed of this, and there have been numerous times when I haven't had a single player who I have given that as a status, in my current game I have two... two long serving Newport players, one is club record league scorer and one holds the record for league appearances, and both are two of my better players. I feel they deserve that status.

But if you got an offer of £50M for them, would they still be indispensible?

It doesn't usually bother me if I get class a player as indispensible, he'll play as many games as a first-teamer (because he is, er, a first teamer), and he'll be paid whatever I think he deserves. It's only really massaging he ego, and often its the only way to sign that "veteran" from a team a few leagues higher than your own.
