Mythbusters of top eleven

[nikolgiorgos]

When I became a member of the forum, I read a lot of older posts. In one-two of them, I read about the comments of the game, when you’re making a sub.

Someone said that if it’s saying that the player is not happy about that, it means that he didn’t perform well during the game so the sub was a good choice. It was the old time, where you couldn’t see the rates of your players, only after the game.
I also have a comment for a player I sub, saying that he made a great game – but this happened after an injury at 4’ min of the game – lol.

The game uses a variety of comments, picking a different one when an action is happening.

A player is getting out of the game and that’s all.
If your player cannot score from a free-kick and you read comments like
- The ball just skimmed from the bar
- Send the ball in the moon
or whatever, that doesn’t mean anything than that your player failed to score.

The same is about the comments about injuries or cards. It’s a random pick of a comment. Pulling the shirt of a player, doesn’t mean anything more than a player of the team A, made a foul in the player of team B, which caused an injury.

Beyond the myth.

So, what comments are useful for ?
The most important for me, it’s about GKs performance. His saves and reactions in corners can give us more information. When he saves a Free-kick, this counts in his saves but when he saves a corner kick, it’s not on his saves.
Another useful is about the free-kick and corners specialists. When I see continually fails, I switch my specialist during the game.
Also when I have a player with yellow card, I notice some comments about him. If there are more negative comments, it means he has a bad day so I make him a sub. If he has good actions/comments, like (if he is a defender) keep tackling oppo attackers, I let him play.

Myth or fact, Nik: Does name changing of player affects his performance? Also does name changing of stadium/club affects the club's performance?

Why asking if you already try on it, you're so funny

Name changing affects form... new defender Philip Lahm is yet to show even a 7

I had once done it in my early days... Nothing happened.
Come on, Joseph...............

All those changes are cosmetic - for the fun of the game and the pocket of nordeus haha.
Beyond the Myth :
I also change the names of my players, usually the 18 y.o. fast trainers, which I intend to keep in my team for 4-5 seasons.
Here is two things -
- one is that I train and improve a lot my player so he's getting better during time
- My player, with the new fancy name of a football star, now attract more my attention during the game (than before, with a weird name from a weird country ).

I have three questions and a suggestion for the mythbuster

TRUE or MYTH

1. Newly acquired players need time to "gel" with the club and achieve their full potential. They may play poorly at first for no apparent reason. (I think it's plausible)

2. Training while at low condition (yellow, orange) is more likely to injure the player (I think it's plausible)

3. Training while at low condition result in lower SP yields (I think it's a MYTH)

The suggestion is to keep the first post updated with the myths that have been tested/discussed. There are currently only four myths listed in the "resume", even though there are 8 pages of discussions. I think inconclusive or "in progress" myths should also be listed.

Thanks!

Of course it's a myth, in fact it's quite the opposite for me!

That, too, is a myth

I'm pointing out the irony...
