My bad. It's Tuppet with N. L... on the left wing. Nat LofthouseThis match?
It's N.Hidegkuti in the hole and the other match had him on the flanks. Couldn't find the match that you were referring to with N.L out wide.
Could be.
Indeed. An interesting test would be to throw some failed manager in like Paul Gascoigne or John Barnes to see if it makes much of a difference to the results. No wander I'm getting shafted on the wings by Czibor and Matthews with Gento and Sesta holding the forte.These managers are mental. Herrera plays 4-2-3-1 as well and dominated possession
Good thing I got @Tuppet early on with the favourite tag going to their headsBican scored too early

I picked the players for Capello's 4-2-3-1. And then he did something totally different. Leaving out arguably my best player in Tom Finney. But he's getting results for now. So what can I say?The thing is his preferences would be consistent with a certain formation. Imagine keeping Capello's preferences and telling him to play 4-2-4. It just won't fly.
Oh, and
, more shots, more shots on target yet lost 3-1.But it ain't me causing the chaos
I wouldn't read too much in it, its a fan made database, it hardly goes in the depth with research etc as the real database does. I am also certain that almost no thought was actually given while recreating AI managers. As other mentioned the sheer numbers of GOATs also is causing this, the Lefter guy for example that you picked for your backup would easily be the best winger in the world in real database and would be counted as a real superstar. AI is probably trying to accommodate them all here.
Exactly the opposite of what you would expect. An Herrera side peppering shots on goal against a Cruyff side that gets three shots on target and scores from all of themAwesome update, thanks @oneniltothearsenal
@antohan got lucky with our first game. Herrera having more possession
You must have, it's just that onenil couldn't watch all the games running in parallel so some got their second or third game instead.
Classic Walter Smith tactic. Stick your big target man on the left wing and punt long balls and goal kicks towards him to win the header against the usually diminutive right-back.
Such a sunday league tactic that.. terribly effective though.
Should have named my team AAAAAAAA in that case.
You would just be top of the 0 points pack then
Should cut the crap, with so many South Americans I'll bust by XMASfeck knows about comedy Barthez. Probably a fair take on a teenage Scholes though - Fergie didn't give him 30 league games a season until he was 24.fantastic job @oneniltothearsenal !
only god knows what the feck did Fergie drink before the game....Barthez starting over Edwin, Larsson on the wing, Scholes not even used
Something that I noticed that I was unable to change was the weird way this doing the matches. There really isn't a "match day" in this apparently. And matches are weirdly spread throughout the week.
Understand that, nation rules are a pain to work around as making any little change seems to break everything, and you have to painstakingly then go through and change everything.
If I had of survived relegation via the alphabet, it would have been hilarious though!You would just be top of the 0 points pack then
Oh, that could explain a lot. Early days still, but further into the season it would be interesting to see what the regular XI actually looks like (or the screenshot of the squad stats, which would give a pretty good idea of who is starting and who are the performers/disappointments). By then some will be out of sight, whether up or down, so it would be even more fun/meltdown inducing than the season opener.
I can understand that... I'm still not sure how it takes off both CMs (one being Zidane
) and a forward and puts two defenders on to end up 6-0-4 (6-1-3 at best).funny thing is, i intentally picked Barthez to ensure VDS is the first keeper
Scirea and Ronaldo have started every match for you!
Tom Finney has started 2 of 3 matches for you with 2 assists and 1 PoM. He will see plenty of game time for you and is your key player
It didn't show in the screenshot, but I guess it's because they were subbed off.
I will post at least a league table and some players stats every month along with maybe Team and players of the month. I will be doing less and less matches as the season goes on.
Strangely I found the test run where I simmed all games there was less scoring overall.
Was I doing better with him? Probably not as it seems my defence is fine but my attack has no teeth (or I'm not shooting much because the Pep-loving shits are trying to pass the ball into the net).Maybe the rivalry and fan profile effect? That's the only thing that changed. Hopefully not as it would be absurd for such a random ill-judged factor to affect proceedings.
Though imperfect, it's the closest you can get to a decent management sim, tbh.
Do you remember the top 4 in that sim or the winner? Or was it just for a few games and not the season?
Would it be possible to pm him this if you did as I don't want to know. Cheers
Same here. Would like to know eventually if things worked out better with Krol, but no spoilers!
