Skip.
Relax, if we left due to the match engine, no one would be left.Done with this game now, I've had 9 SoT in each of the last 3 games. The opposition: 3 SoT - 1 Goal - 1:1 result. 3 SoT - 3 Goals - 2:3. 1 SoT - 1 goal - 1:1 this week. Absolute joke.
Will see out the season, but i'm gone after that.
@Damien take me out of the draft too please.
Can confirm, am always complaining about the match engine.Relax, if we left due to the match engine, no one would be left.
Better players should have a higher chance of scoring/saving/blocking/passing however it works now again true. Also, i suggested counter-tactics back when i was doing the formations. I believe that would make it a very interesting match engine. For example; a team playing the 4-3-3 gets a boost when facing a 4-2-3-1 etc. Dunno what kind of boost would be possible but maybe 2 more match events or something, we can discuss what is possible. That would keep people interested, trying to predict how your oppo will play to get you that advantage. Would give smaller teams a chance against bigger teams and vice versa, the bigger teams gets a bigger chance of getting their "deserved" win. You'd need a "rotation system" in regards to the counter-tactics so the patterns change every season/half a season.I have no idea how SM does their match engine. All I can do is describe how ours will work and hopefully you'll see that despite it being fairly RNG (it has to be) there are very strict rules in place that will reward teams with ultimately the better players.
For a start each Club has a morale system, which has an effect on match results as well as transfers.
No worries, good luck!
Accepted, sorry for delay.Raising the money was easier than anticipated!I have made the bid.

Congrats! A bit premature given he only rose a couple of months ago. Thought it'd be something for the Christmas review. Will be interesting to see how his and Sancho's careers go.Felix up to 90. What a rise.

I think Everton, Bournemouth and City are the other three teams through so you should be able to work out what the other semi final is from who you're not playing.Got through again with my weak b team.
Who is in the other semi-finals?
