Season 68

[Blackkiwi]

Thanks.

Are all you players trained 'nordgens' or are there some players bought from the scouts' list?

15 out of my 18 main players (ignoring my 3 stooges) I acquired when they were 18/19 nordgens. 3 are ancient beasts that I buy for 1/2 season to top up my squad and let go at the end of a season. I never do scouts now unless I'm desperate. They just don't have the longevity. i.e My Captain, Cassourret is now 24, and I got him as an 18yr old with the S.A. This could be his last season since he just can't keep up anymore, but he would be a 'top player' in the scouts.

Day 6 - League Round 4, away at Lilly Whites, in Wigan, England. Level 23, AQ +0.2
1-6 defeat heaviest ever for the Casuals, Neagu's 50th goal only highlight - enough said...

Day 7 - Champions League Group H Round 3, away at JCM CF, in Madrid, Spain. Level 23, AQ -2.6
Disappointing 1-2 defeat continues Champions league woes. Hansen free-kick only highlight of note for Casuals - Freddy Jones 100th match (100-10-0) one to forget...

League Round 5, home vs PFDGJ, of Kayseri, Turkey. Level 23, AQ -2.6
Home is best for Casuals as they continue good form at home with 3-1 win. Mourad and Hansen (2) goalscorers - Johan Shaqiri celebrates 100th match (100-18-35) with assist for first goal...

Day 8 - League Round 6, away at Sefer FC, in Duzce, Turkey. Level 23, AQ -1.9
Improved away form but 2-2 draw means that Casuals can't beat bottom team - Omar Hansen's 100th game (100-53-14), assists Ndjengue for second goal after Topalan put Casuals ahead in first half...

League:

5-0-1 so far, with a match against 6th today. Match is on short rest, so might have to burn some greens if I intend to win this one.

Champions

2-1-0 and hold first on goal differential. It's really a two horse race here so as long as we take care of business the next couple days we'll be off to the round of 16 for the 13th consecutive tournament. This new league draw system has been watering down the champions league draw as I haven't seen this many "bad" teams in the champions league since like level 6.

Cup

3rd round today against a higher level narrow diamond. His quality is 91.6 compared to my 84.6, but I have my dynamic duo weighing down my average (42Q and 46Q).

Ratings Comparison

Season 16 Ratings for Day 3-7 compared with same for Season 17 - but ofc only for those players playing both Seasons as 1st Team players.



But what does it mean Buffs, what does it mean?

Who knows. Its just a picture.

That the rating system has undergone a massive overhaul and so now we have to re-adjust our expectations and parameters of what is acceptable and what isn't

Yeah, there's a general upward trend but its a bit too early to draw a particular meaning, while short term form also has an impact. And in my team's particular position my league so far has been front-loaded with easier games.

Towards the middle of the Season I'll probably do a pic adding in Assist rate- and Goal rate- per game which might give a bit more.

But yeah, unless another ratings tweak comes, I'd expect an upward trend again whether thats simply due to releasing the ratings cap or a more general boost.

Just a picture YES, but a very interesting spreadshet. It verifyes some of my thesis about the new rating structure, please keep up the scores

The DMC catagory +0.58 should be green right? and the MC positive difference!?

Oh only + 1.xx is marked green, Guess I just answered my own question

Oops sorry Gert, I missed out a key to the colour scheme.

• For player ratings Green is 7.5 and above, Yellow is between 6 and 7.49 (inclusive) and red is below 6. If the high ratings continue then for my own performance analysis I'll probably raise Green to 8
• For the Season on Season Difference I used red for -ve, yellow for 0-0,9 and Green for 1 and above. I'll probably adjust the latter to 0.75 and above to give a reasonable margin on the low side of 1.

Edit: and you worked it out anyway

Needless to say but, apart from the GK, all players with an average rating of 8 or more have a goal/game rate of over 0.5

Draw in the cup,as usual conceded within few seconds,but my new 1 token striker gave a goal,so not all is lost.in a few hours vs another full scout tanker,but who cares,not going defensive,maybe Gomez and my grandpa striker can do a little harm
