Season 69

[Killroy]

I just experienced the same thing last night in my champions league game. In my away game I trashed this team (had 33 shots with 15 on target but didn't attend). Last night was my home match and I attended. Again my misconception was that this would be a walkover. I got behind 0-1. Made it 1-1. 1-2 Sigh. 2-2 Yippie. 2-3 what? 3-3 Phew. A tie in the end.

My whole defensive line scored a 5,4 (GK and defense). This line has been my backbone for like the last 2 seasons and has an average score of around 7,5. My whole attacking line scored over 8,2. Never seen such a gap in defense and attacking. And never seen a drop in form like this for my defense. Could this somehow be related to the win bonus of the other team? Or the fact that his team was using with a fantasy setup?

The comp has maybe problems tackling these kinds of tactics?

In my observation, for similar match result, generally match ratings of players increased after introducing match rating 10. But the increase for midfielders seem more prominent comparing with players in other positions. At present, average ratings of all my MC in this team are above 7.0 while 4 out of 8 of my defenders' average ratings are below 7.0, 2 are 7.0, 2 are above 7.0. In the past, as I remember, the match ratings of defenders are higher than midfielders.

For the problem of inconsistency, I think increase in overall strength of the opponents affect consistency of my players. I am passive as I cannot control the matches. BTW, usually my players will play more consistently near the end of season because I need to handle only 1 match per day. So full evaluation are more appropriate at the end of season.

I also think that formation affect players' rating. I used to stick to 4-4-2. In past 3 or 4 seasons, I start using 4-5-1v and 4-4-2 in different matches. The match rating of my strikers dropped and they score and assist less. In contrast, the wingers are benefited with this change.
