Nah, they'd rather vilify me :(
Indeed. I'm at least trying to dig a little deeper for you to give you the benefit of the doubt. You want to know something amusing? You make double that I do per game (discluding wages). Although i'm pretty sure that being in the CL raises ticket prices, as an example your ticket prices is roughly £37.80, Evertons however is down at £25.27. So I think there must be a big difference between being in the CL and not being in Europe altogether.

I have 4 currently as red. It includes recently bought Koulibaly too. Given he is 88 though, per rules the 40% should not apply. I still put it as target against his name. Then Toby and Rojo are there because they recently moved from 40% to 75%. Again, assuming SM will calculate 75% games after players got 90, I should be OK with these two. Still measuring them overall at 75%. Only serious red is Rafael. Doubt I can take him to 75 again.

Why dont you guys just sub them in at half time? Thats what I have been doing.
Subbing in still considers it as half game. So even if I sub in Rafael each match, it will still mean he will be playing only 50% of games. Being out of cups doesn't help me. Cup games are counted as games played like league games in numerator but denominator stays number of league games till that point only. So a good run in both cups is nice chance to keep whole squad happy.

@Damien do European games count for your Nerd List thing?
Nope. Any game where a player loses fitness (league, cup, shield) counts to the players number of games played in, but only the number of league games is what SM's concerns system looks at.

As there've been 15 league games so far, thats 15 games available for Messi to play in, but his stat is 15.5 as he came on in a cup game once.

What if a player is injured/suspended?

Player history has injury info, and you can just look at stats to see if player has had red card or accumulation of yellows and if so, go back and see where. It really isn't hard.
What happens if a player raises from 87 to 88, what about players on loan who are 88 rated?

Look at Andre Gomes. He rose from 88 to 90 just before the 10th league game and got a concern as it treated him as a 90 player instead of 88.

Drew, thanks to Dave.

SAVED - Great dive by DE GEA to save the shot.
Cristiano RONALDO hits it low and hard.
The ref points straight to the spot.
PEDRO goes down in the box after a clumsy challenge by KOMPANY.

The man management by the chelsea manager has seen Petr Cech's run of form reversed when the manager showed faith in him by making him captain and he has come up with the goods since with 6 points in the back pocket, in other news Yaya has been dropped because with out him around the team has started to win.

Yeah but you have 89's/88's listed as 40% but Damien's are all over the place. He has some 91's on 85% and others on 40%?
Because some 91s don't get into my starting lineup. Rodríguez does but Lacazette and Eriksen don't. Personally I reckon they both would require closer to 75% but from the wording in the rules there's nothing to confirm it.

Hmm didn't see that...

So you're looking at it on a position by position basis? Makes sense in that case.
