Here are others questions users should be asking: Would there be 'pitfalls' if the user was not attending the match? How different the match would have been? Would the same player still get the red card.
Logic 'says' attending matches should be significantly advantageous, but this game does not go by football logic. Many times I felt like watching the match, making changes or trying to influence the match in a positive way using the available options resulted to negative things.
