Mythbusters Lab

[nikolgiorgos]

Well, this is the lab of Mythbusters, the thread where I 'll make tests, keeping records or making observations
relative to the main thread
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...op-eleven.html

I don't want that thread to be so long (it will be anyway, because I 'm gonna examine many myths)
so I 'll use this secondary thread, to post some cases.

Ok, in the main thread, I mentioned about that grass quality doesn't affect the injuries of the team.
At post #7, Cat said

I'd like to disagree. I power trained for a long time and noticed when I finished an upgrade drops in injury.

So, it's time for MYTHBUSTERS !
Today, my alt team, Tigran, finished a grass upgrade



So, I took a young fast trainer, Kyrgiakos Sotiris


and gave him a little work to do

about 54 training, in three bars, most of them in a practice match.
Well, not one injury




This is the real Sotiris Kyrgiakos , a Greek defender that played in Liverpool, 2009-2011

I would think the upgrades to grass only affect changes in friendlies and games. Not so much the training mode.

[nikolgiorgos]

I would think the upgrades to grass only affect changes in practice matches and games.

well, I played today a Cup game home (and tomorrow I 'll have a league game)- let's see.


Another test for my ST Mavros this time

Mavros was a nordgen I bought last season, with either foot and one-to-one sa ().
This season I could expect more from him.

So, time for little work

30, 3 bars training, mostly in practice match and no injury again.
Nice

It seems that either foot didn't help him a lot, but let's see if he will improve if I 'll give him those 40 sp to Attack and M&P.


This is the real Mavros (in a photo with his team player Dusan Bajevic, the tall one).

[nikolgiorgos]

ok, let's resume !
After finishing the grass upgrade at 7 October, I played 4 games, 7,8,10 & 12 and I had none injury.
Two power training and some small normal training and nothing.
So, grass upgrade didn't affect my injury rate.

[nikolgiorgos]

Ok, let's see for another Myth.
Mavros is the ST I power trained in post #4.
I wasn't satisfied so far from his performance


After his power train, I bench him for three days, i gave those 40 sp to attack and M&P and put him back in a game yesterday.
He scored twice and got a good rate. Today he played in another game, he didn't score but had a good rate (and assist).


hmmm. let's see if with those extra sp in attack and M&P or with his 6* can play better

or those 3 days I benched him, reverse some medium/bad form period.

[nikolgiorgos]

Well, it was only for those two games
In the next 3 games he played, he had bad performance. Not a goal or an assist.



My personal opinion about those mumbo jumbo (bench him, training and giving skill points) tricks to reverse the form of a player in a few days, it's a Myth.
I tried this many times and I couldn't change anything.
Maybe next season, he 'll gonna play better

[nikolgiorgos]

An update about my player
Now Mavros is having much more sp to attack and M&p than defense.
He's playing little better but still has some games where he gets a 7 and no goals

[nikolgiorgos]

Friendly games
A manager from my (last season) league send a friend request a couple of days before our match.
I accept, then the day before out game, he organized a friendly game vs my team


then another



and then he lost in the official game - LOL

[Gert Funck]

but you also changed am(s) to ML and MR a more defensive formation. that said I agree that friendlies are useless
