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).


* please don't reply with quote, because those posts are huge

[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]

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.

Hi all, I think that the pitch upgrades affect the injuries overall - even when playing away, meaning regardless of what the quality of the opponents pitch is.
I guess a lot of us play friendlies with lower level teams with not that advanced infrastructure.

[nikolgiorgos]

please explain how you plan to test this?

copy/paste from my thread - it's in both Greeks and English
"There is a scenario saying that the game make the calculation during those 3 min before the game starts (and you can’t change anything till the start of the game). Then it decides the result and whatever you do during the game, cannot affect anymore.
My team, NIK FC, is staying in the league so I ‘m going to make an experiment.
I set my team normally, with my 5* players (most of them are near the 6* plus some unsign sp as I was stayed in the previous season too). When the game starts, I switch my main ST with a low q 1* (and less), ST, playing in GK position , while I set m GK to ST position. It said many times that with GK and ST in wrong positions, you can’t win a game. At least vs a normal playing team, with a good 5* quality. So, let’s see if the result is fixed."

[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

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
