FC Silly - My Experiments, Experiences and Accomplishments as a Non Token Player

[HeavensAAA]

The pattern of first-11 performing worse still persists here too, despite results look better with before. Sub ST scoring a hat-trick in last 32 mins (on @58th) and sub MC providing an assist to make a 0-0 at 37th min to 7-0 at full-time tells its own story, with best 2 attackers with no goal or assist (147% & 116% vs 40%). Engine seems to favour 3rd best or lower attackers, as well as defensive players scoring too (defenders and DMCs already scored 38 goals).

In this season, if you ‘feel’ that the engine sets the best players as non-performing, then maybe sub without any hesitation (missing open goals, corner goals or counter-attack goals is a clear indicator); before, there still is a slight chance the top attacker would still score from freekicks or PKs, now probably will keep wasting them all.

The negative performance only affects our personal games, as the best attackers still perform as good as usual in association matches.

Yes i am facing the exact same problem. My top 3 attackers are affected so 4th best onwards for me are doing well. My 5th best attacker is currently tied with my best player/attacker in number of goals scored but has played 3 fewer matches. It is quite likely that the top scorer will either not be won by me or won by a bench player if nothing changes. And yes the top few attackers do well in association games as you mentioned!

Very similar here. Sub ST scores the same ratio of league and CL goals (7/7 vs 12/13 & 4/4 vs 7/8) with my 2nd best attacker, and very ironically the sub ST only comes on as sub for that 2nd best attacker typically around 60th min (when I feel enough misses is enough!) This means the goal ratio of sub ST is indeed doubled of first choice. But then I need to keep the best attackers on to hope they somehow perform and get more motm too, so 60-min is the this season’s threshold when previously I would hold until 70-75th.

Recently I just keep playing 3-5v-2 (flanks when opponent plays DMC) and 3-4-1-2 (middle when opponent has no DMC) with hard attacking and hard tackling, and it somehow works a bit better with such aggressive tactics. No red card yet, so will keep risking. Maybe you could give it a try.

My players have somewhat recovered their previous season scoring form. I had to beat the 2nd in my league before I noticed this difference. I am guessing it has something to do with the game engine keeping things close? Nevermind, i hate to sound like i am making excuses for myself. Whats done is done. At least they seem good for the final run of matches
