I spanked him 5:0 on his turf. I went 3N-5-2V. At one time my D seemed to be outnumbered, but the DMC with blue arrow (well, they are all the same color on the phone) did his job as a sweeper. The new ST was a beast. He only scored one, but it was a beauty. He dribbled around and past two defenders, a move I rarely see in the live game. He gained +109. With the other 1st place team losing, I regained the 3 point lead.
Not sure I proved anything. I did a few of the things that I and others suggested (as remedies for the doldrums), but in the end it may be just Nordeus playing god. We shall see how it goes from here on out.
