Well, in my league three managers, including yours truly, have qualified and we are all sharing the first place with a point each
I had high hopes playing the bottom team two rounds ago, and left my highest scorer on the bench. Instead I got trolled: drew the match 1:1 and the aforementioned AML got duly injured fifteen minutes after being introduced as a substitute.
I think that this competition was something that the game engine had much more influence on than with the U23s. There, if you had a youngish squad, nothing much could be done by the machine short of denying you goals all together. Which would be suspicious if you, say, played weaker teams for the 6 days of the competition. Here the engine could just say screw you, and still give you reasonable results with the starters scoring but substitutes shooting blanks. Just sayin.
