Gaming The SM RedCafe League

[RedRazor]

Congrats! Got to say I thought Newcastle would be the one comfortably in the top 2.

As it is, Newcastle have the chance to take 2nd place in the next fixture. Interesting times down here.

Yeah the Div 1 relegation battle and the Div 2 promotion battle are both tight.

Manchester United Superliga players

Prediction (and very optimistic one)

• Ivan Erquiaga (20/73): +3 to 76

Spoiler: United Superliga player minutes

UPMR = United Player Minutes Ranking (out of 39 as I have a crapload on 0 minutes)
CR = Club Ranking in their respective league

Disclaimer: Minutes only take the league into account. A few play in other competitions which might also be taken into account when SM do their ratings.

I know nothing about the Superliga so plucked the +3 from my arse.

Alexis Mac Allister is one of the most frustrating youngsters I've ever owned

That's plucked from his arse alright. He's one of the top talents in Argentina. I'd say he'll hit 80. Maybe even get as high as 82. They're very generous with Argentina and Brazil as they don't rate them that often.

Thanks, hope you're right.

Thanks, hope you're right.

I'm hoping mine will get higher than I predicted as I went fairly low for most of them. I need some good news

 

[infamous7]

Yea not sure what happened, was quite busy for most of the season and have been contemplating just bailing...

 

[The Taurean]

You have monopolised them. Not been able to get any decent one from there recently.

Rumours

[The Taurean]

Has player concern become more stringent? Got a spate of players getting concerns last couple of weeks.
Chiesa and Bailly have lot of games between them, and still ended up with concern.

I've been fine this review, but last review Shaw got a concern despite playing more than enough minutes at Hereford.

 

[The Stain]

Has player concern become more stringent? Got a spate of players getting concerns last couple of weeks.

Chiesa has 25% and Bailly about 53% played. They both need 65%.

Looking at Chiesa, he's got 2 starts and 14 subs (worth 9 total). 90 rated player should be looking at playing 65% of 36 which is 23.4
Looking at Bailly, he's got 9 starts and 20 subs (worth 19 total). He's just short of the 23.4 needed

Only league and domestic cups count.

There's my "tracker".

 

[Damien]

Fine margins but with 1 or 2 more starts, Bailly would have probably avoided a concern.

 

[The Taurean]

Chiesa has 25% and Bailly about 53% played. They both need 65%.

Doesn't it take into account game time in second half of season?

How much %game time required for 89 rated players?
Was not a concern with rotation till this season with less players>88. Have to extra careful next season. Thanks for the example.

 

[Damien]

How much %game time required for 89 rated players?

30-40%.

 

[Damien]

Playing concern rules:

In a typical Game World, with 38 league games, a player evaluates their season at regular intervals. This usually occurs around Turns 12, 24 and 36.

At each interval a player will have a 'target' number of games that they will have expected to play. Every game that a player could lose fitness in, counts towards their target.

Within your squad each player's target is worked out below:

• Your 5 highest rated players and those rated 94 or higher expect to play in approximately 80% of the number of Turns;
• Players rated 92 or higher expect to play in approximately 75% of the number of Turns;
• Players that would expect to be in your first choice line-up and those rated 90 or higher will expect to play in approximately 65% of the number of Turns;
• Players that would expect to be a substitute if you selected your first choice line-up and those rated 89 or higher will expect to play in approximately 30-40% of the number of Turns.
• The rest of the players within your squad will only expect to play a few (if any) of the number of Turns.

Goalkeepers are worked out slightly differently, with your highest rated and those 88 or higher expecting to play in approximately 90% of the number of Turns.
Please note that with regards to substitutions, if a player comes on as a substitute then it will count as half an appearance irrespective of what minute they entered the match.

For example, in a league with 38 games (38 Turns) a 94 rated or higher player expects to play in 31 games were they lose fitness. This could be 25 league starts, 8 substitute appearances and 2 cup games. Alternatively 31 league starts (missing 1 in every 6 league games) and no cup games.

 

[The Stain]

Doesn't it take into account game time in second half of season?

Percentage for the whole season is what matters on each review. So each review those players need to have played a minimum 65% at the point of the review. Domestic cup games don't count towards concerns so they're "freebies".

Was not a concern with rotation till this season with less players>88. Have to extra careful next season. Thanks for the example.

40% to be on the safe side.

 

[The Stain]

Player concerns rules are in the threadmarks.

 

[The Taurean]

Playing concern rules:

Cheers.

 

[Damien]

For every league game a player is injured/suspended, that reduces their target number of games slightly. Chiesa and Bailly were fit/not suspended throughout though.

 

[Damien]

Yeah but there's 29 so nobody bothers going through them

 

[The Taurean]

Is there any draft pending? I will probably get a turn earlier due to drop in value.

 

[The Stain]

Ah ye, remove any matches the player in question is suspended or injured.

 

[The Stain]

I cheekily anticipated Arthur's +2 rise and sent him on loan. Dunno how it works with rises during the season and the review but took the safe option

 

[The Taurean]

For every league game a player is injured/suspended, that reduces their target number of games slightly. Chiesa and Bailly were fit/not suspended throughout though.

Ye. I have to structure game distribution going forward.

 

[The Stain]

I will happily buy Chiesa or Lozano, no probs. Send me PM.
