Can your player be on the losing team and still win motm?
An odd one today when I was working out which players to sub to make sure my main striker won the award, he was on 8.3 with 20 mins to go, but the opposition had two players higher than that so I gave up on him getting the award.
At the end of the game he was still on 8.3, but my opponent had an 8.4, an 8.6 and a 9.5.
Whistle goes, I win 1-0, these are the final ratings, and he gets motm whilst having only the 4th highest score.
