Am at 30 home and 23 away. Away form costing me a bit.
Gaming The SM RedCafe League
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
win against Plymouth today! 
17 games unbeaten now... too many draws though!
Nice. My record is 18, and you have a chance to beat my record when we face each other in the league in two games time!
Can someone educate me on how the players' ratings increase and is it at a certain interval? Also I see ratings for certain leagues are updated lot less frequently?
Focus on 5 main leagues.
Like TT said, the top five leagues (England, Spain, Germany, France, Italy) are updated most often (and even that isn't that often). Those five leagues should be reviewed before the end of May but we'll see.

Cheers. Dutch and Portuguese dont get updated?
Now I see why Damien swapped Son with me for Reyes+Clasie
Son was anyway unhappy at Villa though and I needed cover in CM position. Clasie's match rating and goal+assist contribution is decent. Reyes I have sent on loan. They are 89 and 87 respectively. Doubt for now they will increase.Cheers. Dutch and Portuguese dont get updated?

Dutch league isn't too bad for players (though I'm still pissed off Rekik is rated 85 despite playing well over 2000 mins of football since last reviewed)... I like Clasie but felt I had to offload Reyes especially as he has been out of favour at Porto as their manager is a moron

They do, but they have an upper limit. You can get risers in there but players wont rise to 90+ unless they get a move. Clasie if he can replicate his form this year(or improve on it) can possibly get a 90 but it will be very hard. Reyes has been barely playing so dont expect him to rise.
I guess I will have to hope Reyes moves then. He is regular in national team, right? Against Bayern, Indi played and I wasn't much impressed by Indi in WC. Haven't seen Reyes play but Indi is not a bar much high?
On other note, Ayoze Perez is doing decently on loan, though in div. 3. 20 games 16 goals and 10 assists. Denayer increased in rating too recently to 83. I am also stuck with Vlaar and Delph whom the game AI bought between the time Levo left and I took over
Not bad players though. Hopefully Grealish will increase in rating too. I need all that otherwise it will be perennial relegation battle. Either that or need to work more on right tactics than randomly selecting something and just checking results

You've signed 43 players while being transfer banned despite accepting it that you were over the limit earlier on in this thread.
That just says that you don't actually care so If you don't want to play why don't you just leave instead of messing the league up for the rest of us?

You have a good core in courtois, pepe, rafael, turan, gustavo and schneiderlin. With lamela, wilshere, lukaku players who really could step up any time. Plenty to build upon.
Ya some of those guys need to step up. Like Lukaku and Lamela. I dont know how simulation engine works but I guess real world form is a factor too? These guys are 90+ but dont give me matching performances.
The match engineis a total mystery but no, I dont think real world form is a factor. Just find the right formation/tactics to get the best of your highly rated player. But its still a total gamble at times.The match engine is a total mess. We both fielded weakened sides yesterday, prioritising the cup final and still cruised to wins.
Hehe. Ya. I was not expecting to win at all yesterday.
Rat race is hotting up, just as my away form goes to pot
Won 3:0 away from home to take United through to the next stage. Winners in bold.

Only Forest lost hehe. Must be because their manager is doing the haka, fighting penguins and bungy jumping at the same time in NZ. Or is he home?
On the bright side you're away in the first leg.Am facing arsenal next
not sure how big of an advantage that is when my assistant manager is determined to give my reserves a run out!
feck sake, I keep losing track! I'm still in Queenstown.
Nice! What a lovely city. Jealous. Bungy jumped yet?
The magic of the cup is here! Be there to watch massive underdogs Aston Villa, led by TMH Sherwood in his gilet take on the favourites Manchester United led by @Damien van Gaal.

In the cup? I don't have gold either, asst vs asst
Didn't actually take that long! Just a shame Villa's keepers are short and podgy.
Good luck whatever happens. Should be a good game hopefully.
Why is it Millennium stadium though? It should be Wemberleyyy!!
Thats what it says on the calendar. Bit weird but hey ho.
Ya bit weird...
Reyes starting for Porto tonight
Haah, yeah.
