Subject: FA Cup Season 28 QF's

I crept thru 2-3 with options to strengthen not needed.

Fancy my chances against any of the remaining teams...

...except Phil of course, who is churning out ridiculous ratings for the cup.

Nothing that a couple of red cards couldn't even out :)

Problem is that I won 8-1 even with two red cards today ;-)

With only an 11 point average rating advantage! Well done ;-)

Hahaha!

Wenlock will be a tough draw. Good friend of mine! He got revenge on herbs for me!

Wenlock it is for me then. At least I've got a chance of playing Phil in the final.

Picked up a 12-1 win this week.

Not as confident about playing you in the final, should be a lot closer.

I played my reserves tonight

I played mine in the league ;-)

Why? You can't auto-relegate and 3 points isn't going to make any difference to your season.

I see your win was very straightforward.

My game was probably the most entertaining one i've had in my whole time in Sokker; a 6-5 AET win against Wenlock Warriors with 2 changes of tactics.

2 yellow cards to two of my defenders within 4 minutes, one of which was then red-carded just 7 minutes later. My star striker was slightly injured on 16 minutes by which time Wenlock had had 2 sendings off!

My best MID then suffered a 21 day injury in the 87th minute and i thought that was curtains, but i think my superb change of tactics twice shows that i deserved the win :) 4-4 at FT!

Would have been nice to have a proper game. Half the games in the real world would be abandoned if they had the same ratio of cards to fouls and a fan mood drop too for taking it to extra time with 9 men from 16 mins after losing a fan mood on sunday for winning 5-1 too, this game needs to seriously look at itself before it finds that too many people have left to make it viable.

Congrats DJ, strong team there.

Fan mood looks at the rankings of the teams, and your ranking is very good, so your fans expected a win and also sometimes to win bigg. It's arguably too simple, but is tricky to code something that tries to look at something such as red cards. Arguably fans could be very annoyed at teams getting players sent off.

Also with cards to fouls - I agree ratio is higher, but that is also because they compress the game - i.e. it doesn't take 90 minutes, but they still want there to be overall approximately the same number of reds and yellows in each game as in real life - that naturally means a higher card ratio.

But I do agree, it is annoying when these things happen.....

Actually looks at your fan club size when working out the expected result.

Sure the rest is great advice however ;-)

Often goes hand-in-hand with ranking though i am sure you will agree. He still wasn't ranked higher than me though in that cup game...

Expectations: Rival is respectable by your supporters, but they expect a win.

Clearly a bug, my supporters would never support you ;-)
