If, a player had a 8-7-8-8-6, and you have like -League and CL finale- save him to keep that 6 drop until the finale, so he'll probably earn a push. You can ofc. set one who got a 10 to drop intentionally his rating playing without condition and a wrong setting.

Some poeople, too, sets a FA game with a -30% condition player so the game is cancelled and this seems to reset the ratings to lower ones.

The variations affect the upcoming match scenario, so you can, at some point control who will have a chance to be determinant by forcing the engine, to select him for a posible push, like for example, a Key player usually gets 2-3 Max ratings... max is 9-10 (are the same both), so, if, a key player got 9-8-10-9-10 after the streak of 3 max rating syou can expect a drop, meaning this that the engine will not select him to be determinant in the next game. So in this case, you need to force the engine to keep saved a previous lower rating than this 10.

Lol. I love your discussions and experiments about game that are very deep everytime i feel like i was reading books written by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Now i want to look at it the other way, Normally it's an advantage if you follow your main opponent's fixture a week behind in real football. Because you probably play game in next week with a team which got beaten up pretty good and demoralised by the main oppo. They would be pushover on the pitch then i understand it works vice versa as usual in this game. You should expect better result for yourself if your opponents played very well in their last games. Very interesting.

What about on fire morale status ? Lets say the player has ratings in order of 8-10-9-10-6. Next game is easy and the following game is tough. Why don't we let him play in easy game and firing his morale up for next tough game ? On fire is not working or On fire is determined and restricted by the rating system you talked about it ?
