    Even worse when you lose a title on goal difference because your rivals have beaten them 12-0 when they had 11 players available and you only get a 3-0 forfeit win because one of their 11 players got a booking in the 89th minute and was suspended for the game against me.

    That has happened 3 times to me this season.

    The team bottom of my league has not been able to put a team out twice against me, so I've had two 3-0 walkovers against him.

    Yesterday the team 2nd bottom did the same against me.

    I'm second in the table, two points behind the leader, but he has +25 goals on me, not helped by the fact that he has played the bottom side twice with a 14-0 and a 11-0 win, plus has the 2nd bottom team later on today now with a squad able to be played.

    It could end up costing me the title this season if it comes down to goal difference.

    This was me last season - abandoned team were visitors, didn't turn up, 3-0 to me. 3 points clear at the top at the time. Next week, 2nd place visit and beat me narrowly 3-2. Level on points, me slightly ahead on goal difference. Last game of the season, I had to win but could afford to have a lesser win than 2nd place. 2nd place visits abandoned team and wins 10-0. I had to win 8-0 against my visitors then, but wonder of wonders, the Troll visits and I lose 1-3 - or maybe it was the ultra-attacking tactics I had to employ?

    Two 'if's - Might I have still won the championship IF I hadn't needed to play with the tactics I thought necessary in the last game IF I had been given the same opportunity to farm goals out of the abandoned team as the other teams in the league (they had gone for at least 7-0 in at least one game to all the other teams in the league and I was the only team they didn't turn up to).

    Makes you think, doesn't it...

    Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

    The minium that can be changed is the rule in case of a draw at points, like they did in CL.
    As I defended, not fair if 14 goals scored against the 14th team give the title to a team that've lost 0-1 and draw 1-1 against the 2nd when the 2nd have same points.

    They changed CL rules, and they have to change the rule in the League too, as in the Leagues there are usually 4-5-6 teams in active mode, so these and the results between them have to be more decisive.
