Season 117 - Are you ready?

[EastsiderSG]

So i needed to buy a backup DL and i wanted someone good and young so i have the option of replacing my starting DL after a season or so. It took me at least 3 hours online checking every now and then to see if there were DLs and if they were young and of a certain value at least. I was willing to get a 4 star and train him up as well. But i had to wait sooooo long. I had to give up quite a few cos i didnt wanna pay too many tokens as well.

But finally, i have a player to cover injuries and cards for all positions i use. Team is all set now, just gotta train!
Good luck everyone, hope we get good league draws

Desert Rats FC safely through to the next Round of the Cup, a couple of routine matches against a -29Q side.



A WTF? moment or two for Nouvion FC, a red card in each of the first two matches against a -39%Q opponent. The Management hopes Nordeus has got that out of its system now and leaves his players alone for a while...

If those are not your major players, you should consider changing them. Some players are designed to pick cards. And if your opponent has a good set piece taker, you will concede cheap and painful goals...

I actually think you are lucky. Get them now when its painless rather than later in the season where it really matters. Now i am assuming **** happens only once, keep us posted in you have further reds. 2 reds in 2 cup rounds is already really extreme. I go through most seasons without even 1 red.

The two reds are an unusual occurrence for me, too. I went for a long run where I didn't get a straight red at all in any season, and only one or two double yellows. In the past couple of seasons I've got two straight reds and a blizzard of yellows for my midfield players (MC or DMC), whichever ones are there, so it seems the match engine is targetting the position, not the individual player...

Yup, i noticed my ball winning positions getting more yellows in recent seasons too. But with 2 reds in 2 cup matches, conspiracy theories come to mind. Haha cant help it. What Nebu mentioned i have also experienced. In one season, i had a DMC that got 2 reds. But his next season was back to normal, a few yellows but no reds.

I used to have this MC, plays well but was always picking cards, then one day I noticed he has high numbers in aggression - it may have been the highest in the team then.

Just glanced thru my league opponents.
Only 2 teams from last season were together with me. One similar quality, the other higher
For the first time , my team is not among the strongest on paper.
Think my team is somewhere in the middle pack.
There were about 5 tanker teams and a few +1 Level teams
So if I attained top 4 position - that will be a achievement

I had that kind of draw last season as well. Its like the game engine gives us a tougher draw every 3 to 5 seasons! This season is back to normal for me and i do nothing differently. 2nd best team is 10 percent below my quality so expecting an easy league this time around. Cup and CL look better than last season. All in all, it's gonna be a less stressful season for me
