Huge result for West Ham. 6 clubs in the relegation fight, looking bad for Liverpool now.
Yep, I think Liverpool and QPR are down barring a miracle. Remaining place could be any of six teams, though I think the trinity of Arsenal, Chelsea and Sunderland will avoid the drop.

Title is Big-Red's unless there's a big collapse on his end and Villa end the season on a great run. Remaining top four spots along with battle to finish in top ten in general could be interesting too.

@Damien

Whats going on with Nice this season? They're bossing it! As I say that Mendy gets a red card! :lol:
Looks like Ben Arfa has slotted in just fine

I'm guessing Ricardo Pereira is doing well too. Playing at LB according to soccerway. I used to have him when I was at Leeds!

Glad Pouplin is out as I feel Hassen would probably have been on the bench instead of playing regularly

They've scored 13 goals in the last 3 games. Impressive. My man Koziello got a goal and an assist so far. :drool:

My brain can't get pregnant!
Yup. You earn more the better you do. End of season payout is also position based but that won't be too different based on few positions here and there. No other single inflow, all weekly.
Aye.



Aye, though the payouts are pretty close.



Aye, unless you get some sort of cash injection.
Thanks lads :)

A lucky 1-1 draw with the feckin Janners tonight. Couldn't have handled losing to them. A really boring game, but the best player in the world scores yet again! Bendtner! Woooooo

Lucky really, as I didn't save my in game instructions and Bendtner goes and scores in the 84th minute.

:D I'm pretty happy considering most of the injured would have played when fit, and apart from Rekik the DNP's are expected
Pretty sure i'm going to be disappointed as things stand when it comes round to the winter review. My 85s and under are doing really well but my higher rated players are all stumbling a bit (with one or two exceptions).

Still, I won't mind. Keep the cycle going, the circle of life!

Although.. You've found some home form just at the right time. Seems Damien's initial prediction of league winner will come true.. Jinx, jinx, jinxxx.

I'm on a poor run at the moment though...could have been up here challenging with a marginally stronger first XI...I concede too many goals...

The Soccer Manager 2015 match engine has been ported into our two test Game Worlds, ID 238724 and 239094, and the following are the main improvements:
  • Results obtained with modern formations.
  • Player Ratings have an exponential value in a match, so the better players will be even better for your team.
  • Added more formations such as 4-2-3-1 narrow and 4-4-2 narrow diamond. Also made some alterations to existing formations so that they perform better in the match engine.
  • Made player position penalties harsher. Examples include fullbacks not playing as well in a 3 man defense, wingers not playing as well one position infield from the wing etc.
  • Removed some player / team instructions / styles that were covered by other options that have been left in.
    • Attacking Style means there is an increased contribution from your midfielders against the opposition's midfielders and defense on the designated side of attack. Some examples of the effects of this are: An opportunity to exploit a 3 man defense as they score poorly for left and right sided defense, so playing with wingers will be successful; Trying to play down the middle with less midfielders in the centre than the opposition will worsen your midfield contribution to attack.
    • Selecting a Playmaker will skew the attacking style slightly based on the playmakers position.
    • Passing Style
      • “Short” improves defense slightly, worsens attack slightly.
      • “Direct” improves attack slightly, worsens defense slightly.
      • “Longball” bypasses the midfield vs midfield “battle” and produces a slightly random result - works well for underdogs, quite random in success for better teams against worse teams.
    • Tempo
      • “Slow” improves defense slightly and reduces fitness loss slightly
      • “Fast” improves attack slightly and increases fitness loss slightly
    • Pressing
      • “Own Area” improves defense slightly and reduces attack slightly
      • “All Over” improves attack slightly and reduces defense slightly.
    • Mentality
      • As before - self explanatory
    • Tackling Style
      • As before, increased aggression = better defense at expense of increased changes of cards.
  • Improved match stats such as possession, corners and shots and player match ratings that are produced.
