Three of my 4 MC's were injured today with 4+ days injuries.

Ugh.

Ooof, 16 games on the way and almost no injuries but yellow and red cards galore. 14 yellow and 2 direct reds. And I am playing normal, normal tackling and zonal defense. My players are so nice normally.

Edit: Next game 2 yellows again leading to 1 red. Sigh. This is getting crazy. I say the referees have been bribed.

This game is getting too predictable - have this example. Dominant most of the game, but nothing comes off. A couple of weak attacks by the opposition in each half, a couple of bookings for his players, the resulting free-kicks missed/hit the wall. 85 minutes, another free-kick, saved by keeper, then a single corner and double corner headed out by defenders. 88 minutes, and I'm just thinking to myself, 'here it comes...'

OOOH my personal fav!

a WEAK PASS and usually you (or your oppo) scores from it by header (usually too)

If i get a "weak centre pass" from my FK i'm smiling forward coz i'm scoring a goal from it 90%+

too predictable (and lame... goal from weak pass??? really?)

Ok, i've got one.....

That is what I find frustrating. I absolutely get that on "any given Sunday" a bad team can play out of their minds and beat a good team, but the only way that can happen is if the bad teams plays significantly better. That can be the bad team playing great, the good team playing poorly, or some combination of the two, but that is the ONLY way it can happen.

In T11, nobody should argue that lesser teams should never beat better teams, but for ____'s sake, the in-match ratings NEED TO REFLECT THIS!!!

Indeed, the concept of Mystery plays a huge role in this game.

And the biggest mystery is that we all the time are trying to find correlations where there are none.

Trying to find a formation that will give a benefit. Wrong. Trying to find formation that will beat opponent's formation. Wrong. Assuming that player's morale matters. It does not. Assuming that his condition matters. Nope - I sub a player by the one who had morale close to 0, and he scores 2 goals in the next 3 minutes. Assuming that if two players were "stretched out from the field" and one more got red card, this will give advantage to the opponent. Wrong, in fact just the opposite, you are very likely to score exactly after that.

Nordeus does not believe that we want our team to win. The concept is enjoyment from the process itself, and the more surprises we encounter, the more exciting it becomes.

And they are right on target. As long as you don't understand what's going on, you will keep experimenting and trying this and that. Proven solution would be death of excitement. Sisyphus' effort is the most sustainable of all, exactly because you never achieve the final success, but you still hope - so level after level you again do the same stuff, and your best player "can go all the way!" at his quality level 140 just as his predecessor did at level 20 two years ago.

So keep clicking those video commercials, and hope that one day you will find that secret of winning.
