Gaming The SM RedCafe League

What affects how good a player is? Just rating, morale and fitness?
Real life performance effects the rating.

As for morale and fitness I'm not sure how much that effects the players performance in the game. @Damien and @green_smiley probably know more about this.

Rating.

As far as fitness goes, don't play anyone below 90%, ideally you should have everyone at 95 or thereabouts which is easy to do.

Morale isn't that big a deal.

All of that said, you may find some players performing better than their ratings suggest, just happens at times.

If it wasn't already clear Mbappé will win Golden Boy then this confirms it.

Nottingham dealing a fatal blow to my title challenge. :(
 
How many games do you have to field a player to remove concerns?

Karius is screwed. Level 4 concern and keepers expect to play 90% of games. If you want to keep him, you'd have to play him in all games to have a chance of it not going to level 5 and even then it isn't guaranteed.

Win is crucial else it was a fatal blow for Forest. Although my injury and suspension problems are piling up last few games.
Damo will focus more on his best players available for end of season rather than the rotation that he has managed so far. Will be really tough to catch him.

I've got tough games coming up but I'll still need to rotate, with me getting knocked out of the cups early.

27: Birmingham City (h)
28: Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)
29: Tottenham Hotspur (a)
30: Nottingham Forest (h)
31: Aston Villa (a)
32: Milton Keynes Dons (h)
33: Newcastle United (a)
34: Sunderland (h)
35: Bournemouth (a)
36: Manchester City (h)
--- concern review
37: Liverpool (a)
38: Chelsea (h)

I'll be rotating a fair bit in 4 or 5 of the games but that might be enough to open up a route for one of you.

Interesting set of matches. I have 3 against you, spurs and newcastle which i dread.
 
Lewandowski is killing it. 16 motm in 30 apps for Forest this season!

That's quality.

With my form you still stand a good chance. Despite City being 12 points behind I'm getting a horrible feeling about them.

City have made a ridiculous comeback, yeah. They were struggling near the bottom for quite a while. Can't see me making up the gap now, too many tough games in the run in.

Yeah, loss for you would have ended your hopes. Now you've taken me down with you pretty much :lol:
 
Important 1:0 win vs Birmingham. Forest and Arsenal drew their games but City won.
