Champions league game engine overkill and fixed result

[Citizen Cained]

Unfortunately everything that you have said there rings true. Especially the bit where your player ratings are below 6 and your best player is having a stinker. This is where you have to try and manipulate the game code to swing things back but usually in vain. More often than not, the stronger team is destined to win especially if they have a record of comebacks or the Manager is absent. Indeed, it has happened to me but as a positive. I was top all season and 2-0 and 3-1 down against a mid-table opponent but my best player was on something like 8.6 rating and as I began the comeback, it increased. I won 5-3 and he got a 10. Those ratings are a good indicator of whether you are destined to win or not.

Dave - if you see one of your players (usually DC or GK) with a rating of below 6, do you sub him immediately or see if he improves? In my view, if you field a sub, they perform just as badly which I’ve noted with my current GK who has been pure diarrhoea this season - I sub him only to find my reserve keeper also turns in a performance of mind-numbing ineptitude.

i never normally sub any of the defence EVER unless of injury usually i sub ONLY in the last 15 mins of match time and then only using ST or AML/R

Hi buddy. I never sub a GK, even if he gets injured. Makes no difference from what I've seen. With defenders, if one is having a nightmare, you will often see it's because the opposition attacking player he's up against is having a blinder. First I will try another defender swapping position with him but if I think he is dragging my team down, I'll sub him. But you're right, the sub usually performs as badly because it seems that particular position is dominated by the opposing attacker.
