Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Have to say, these fancy formations really work on SM. The match engine is stupidly stupid.
 
Snapped up new SM addition Tyler Blackett (doing decent on loan) and also Gramer who is doing great on loan at Gladbach.
 
17 games, 8 goals and 7 assists this season for Van Der Vaart and they drop his rating because he's missed 3 weeks injured?
 
Playing with Hamburg, and also soon to be 31. It was on the cards no matter his form.


Yup, each team in SM has a ceiling rating. Players won't ever get past that rating unless they're world class. While if a really highly rated player joins a lower team, his rating will gradually decrease. Its how it works.

So if Suarez joined Crystal Palace, but kept up his current form, his rating would decrease?

He certainly wouldn't increase, and falls under the world class talent label so would possibly just stay where he is.
 
It took Suarez a good while to rise over 91 at Liverpool too due to their league position. Realistically to be over 91, SM want you to be at a top 6 club, in a strong league.
 
Well Gerard has been a 97 so Suarez has every chance of getting up there too. I don't see him getting there this year, most likely a 94. Same as Aguero and Bale.
 
2-1 win against Reading. The run continues.

Draft team gone to shit. Same formation as I use here, xant buy a win : D
 
Massive win. 4-3 against Chelsea, who drop from 1st to 5th with that result! No idea how it was as close as it was, looks like it was total domination. Must be more clinical in future.
 
Seem to concede too many early goals. Conceded thrice to bristol and couldnt come back. Lost by a goal. Really rough season so far. Have lost a lot of squad depth to get the youngsters in and that'l cost me i think.
 
They're taking ages to get through the German Review, I was hoping Durm would have gone up by the time I got to the next cup game, seems unlikely now. Still, so far every one of my Germans have gone up, so can't grumble.

+ 0 - 94 - Robert Lewandowski
+ 1 - 90 - Sidney Sam
+ 0 - 89 - Bernd Leno
+ 1 - 86 - Josip Drmic
+ 4 - 84 - Christian Günter
+ 3 - 83 - Niklas Stark
+ 3 - 83 - Maximilian Arnold
+ 5 - 82 - Sebastian Kerk
+ 3 - 80 - Julian Korb
+ 0 - 80 - Erik Durm
+ 3 - 78 - Jeremy Toljan
+ 1 - 77 - Martin Kobylanski
 
New signing Kramer is my only hope of a plus 1. Martinez has missed a good portion of the season, and Reus won't go up unless SM go full on muppet mode again.
 
As expected none of my other Bundesliga players rose, however Gotze now can play at CF (not that I'd play him there, but useful if there's an injury or something).
