    Anyone else feel like there is a programmed pattern to each season? Not sure if it's my imagine or a myth but;

    1st week of season always seems to see more random results. More injuries. More cards.

    Middle weekend of season seems random/troll results.

    Cup final day random/troll. Cl final not so much so.

    Cup and cl sfs more cards.

    When I see cards and injuries appear to be triggered when people enter or exit a match it makes you question how cynical the programming really is.

    Injuries are a b*tch - two of Desert Rats' new recruits have been on the medicos bench in the past two days...

    It seems the match engine targets new signings in the first few matches of the season.
    Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

    Desert Rats' third injury this season - and it's the third of the new recruits sidelined, this time for 13 days...

    On a lighter note, progress in the first week of the season is good...

    I agree, I got a striker and a scout defender earlier on the season. They both picked injuries soon after.

    Yes, but the random results usually don't come this early in the season in my experience. It's normally the 4th match of the CL group and around 2nd weekend in the league. I think nordeus wants close league races in hopes someone spends some money to try and win it.

    Finals, I think it's more the case of semi-active managers getting a run of good fortune in the early rounds then deciding to make a 1-2 week detour into competing. For example, training bonuses might normally be 14% but for cup final they are @ 40%.
