Hi there,
In regards to your first post, I would say it’s a bit irrelevant. :)
-Given the performance on the pitch, the game wasn’t bad luck. True, the score was a bit out of place, but, speaking just from the stats point of view, Sh. United deserved to win. In the same way, a draw or even e C. City win would have been quite acceptable. Indeed, If I had outscored Sheffield 20-5 shots, and had lost 0-5, I would have said it was bad luck. The thing is, they made more shots than me, which I can’t see how.
-But of course, the ball is round, anything can happen, you should have seen Liverpool losing to Stoke this weekend: UNBELIEVABLE…but my post was not about this
-Again, sure thing, randomness is perfectly acceptable, even more so in a game :)
In regards to your second post:
Now you are talking :) My main point about the whole post is the tactical ineptitude of the situation. My main argument was indeed that such tactic used by Sheffield should have not been as successful against my midfield (Cardiff’s midfield is easily one of the top 5 in the game).
Why the tactic shouldn’t have worked
1. As you pointed out, 2 low mids vs a curtain of quality midfielders would fail any given day
2. Those 2 midfielders (Sheffield’s) were not even real midfielders. Those two players were the very key of the tactic, meaning, they should have been exceptional players to make the whole thing work. However, their skill base was completely nonexistent to the requirements of their positions, with the exception of the tackle skill of one of them.
3. One of those midfielders never entered the game basically, which makes the whole tactic and its outcome even more ridiculous. This kid had the 3d lowest tackle skill out the 20 outfielders on the pitch, he was no more than an academy players, skills wise. lol
Which basically brings us to some very dissapointing conclusions:
- the correlation between individual skill and tactical efficiency is extremely low.
- For some reason, the engine privileges one variable over the others…tackle (this is very important for strikers, many of whose chances are created by tackling the defenders of the opposing team, rather than from passing from open play).
- In the same way, passing ability is the skill with the least impact. A 75 passer can be as efficient as 95 passer!
- and much, but not worth discussing here.
Anyway, we all adapt…and sometimes..we make a call for a bit change ;-)
cheers

Sorry, I continue.
But I agree on the thing that a minimum reality in formation should implemented. I mean, never 2 low mids would triumph over a courtain of quality midfielders. It should be required (I have always though) a minimum of 3 deffenders and 3 midfielders, and 1 GK. Attackers are not always needed. Scotland is playing sometimes with a 4-6-0 formation
Hi,
I would like to reply first post. Firstly, bad luck, dude, sorry for that match.
Secondly, even in reality matches are not always determined by players skills. I mean, obviously, it is expectable that ManU wins Swansea, or Juventus to Mantova. But I remember a Celta of Vigo 4 – Real Madrid 0 in the 90s, 4 or 5 shots from Celta, plenty of opportunities of Madrid. Champion of league in Spain already was Madrid, Celta was near to release. This things happen
Thirdly, hopefully, not only numbers must determine a match result, a little randomness is expected, I think. It would be a bit boring if not
He was high waging every single player available on the free transfer list, essentially destroying the market.
gabriel and danilo put mechanisms in place to help mitigate such issues in the future.
I think soon afterwards he left blackpool. But as far as i’m concerned, he’s been good ever since.
Felipe Santos destroyed Blackpool?
that 800 will be spent foolishly i presume. i just hope we dont have another blackpool-type situation on our hands, that would be a shame.
I hope some of that 800m comes my way :D
Actually it doesn’t quite work in Chrome. The avg column is there, but specifying a team is not possible:
FastTicker – monitoring team undefined [disable]
MediumTicker – monitoring team undefined [disable]
Here he comes to save the Day!!!! :) yay
I think I have 40 too. We have names and surnames for all European countries, but they might not be accurate so any lists are welcome.
Cheers
Oh, ok. How many team logos do you have? I have 40, do you need any new?
Danish names and surnames are in your power, too? I can provide it tomorrow
Ok, my team is lost, history then for me. Goodbye Hertha, I hope the next manager doesnt blow the 800m immediately …
.
Enjoy the game, guys!
Was fun playing with you. See you someday again, maybe.

welcome back Danilo!
I wouldn’t call this a dissapointing topic. Sure the name of the topic is dissapointing, but all in all, i would say the community got very invovled and we had a lot of discussion. That, to me, is always a good sign :)
hehe hope so :).
Btw I’m selling players and I’m offcourse willing to negociate. So you can just throw me some offers and I’ll see what we can negociate…..
Common people, you’ve got to create your team till 13 Sep 20:30 CET when the group stage begins, you can do it after that but will miss the first matchdays. If you already have a team please join the league, a little competition with RS managers to see if we are as good evaluating real players as we are in the game :D
Only Henry Medeiros joined, for now a 100% Benfica fans league :D
Welcome in Spain Sly!
Now you can create a mythe of the sleeping spanish giant like you did with the ‘french monster’. :)
Just came back from my vacations and found this disappointing topic – among others. Well, I now have a few things on my plate.. The ones I can mention are
- buy a new laptop
- change the way youths develop
- add more anti-cheat stuff (or mechanisms) and GM tools
I am also tired of this crap, let’s see if we can finally address most of this in the next weeks.
Good challenge ! See you soon in European cups ;)
Sorry ghuardian, we already have Denmark team logos. Same for Belgium. Croatia and Poland we don’t have yet.
Thanks!
Noted. I hope it is as simple to implement as you predict :-)
Hi,
I would like sincerely to see, in the classification league table, the data at home and visitor. That’s important since the teams have a bit different performance at home or out, and it would be easier to prepare matches, cause there are teams really terrifying at home, and not truly worthiful as a visitor.
It would help also to define different tactics and formations at home and visiting, and the complexity of implementing it is very low.
OK, very near to send Denmark, 2 divisions, but I don’t Know how to convert logos background to transparency. I have ready the rest.
Working on Croatia.
One question. Does anyone sent you Belgium? I had forgotten when I said the list of countries, but Belgium is an interesting European league, too.
Cya!
Good luck in spain.
After 42 seasons I’ve chosen to leave Brest behind and find a new challange in spain. I have always had a big love for the great Barcelona. I saw my chance and I took it.
I’m leaving a very healthy team behind. Lots of young players combined with stable older players. They have a healthy bankroll so still room to change and improve.
I wish the next manager goodluck. He’ll need it in a shark tank like France :)
Kind regards,
Sylvain Dingenouts
A new talent is born and is for sale. Why would anyone sell this player? I have 2 very good attackers already and need to fill some places in other positions and therefor i need money :)

Have you created your team already? I’ve created a public league for rubysoccer managers, come join and be beaten by me :D
league code is : 52570-9937
For those who don’t know what fantasy football is:

I mentionned the bug to Gabriel when I lost Bordeaux due to the holidaymode-bug. I was fixed but clearly not for everyone.
@Felix: I agree with Charles. For Ulisses and me it’s too late to return to our teams. The new managers have made changes and give the teams their own touch. For Philippe it could be possible.
@ Philippe: Join me in Spain Philipp. I also started over again.
And thats where i think a mix of both has to be done.
Put in place something to slow them down AND to stop them…
I’m not sure if its doable or not, but that would be best in my opinion…
