Is it just me

Or is the match enginge getting nasty?

I've just got two midfielders back after each went down with 8 week injuries and now I've had four players taken out (a defender, 2 MFs and a striker) for a total of 28 weeks. 

Injuries happen, we plan for that but this is pretty draconian.

My luck is pretty good regarding injurys, touch wood.

I got an instant ban for a red card - 5 games!! His first red, and he'd only had three yellows all season, and don't get me started on holiday awols.....!

Haha I feel like whenever I get an injury my replacement player will then go awol.

Make that five players taken out (the latest for 8 weeks).  Makes it pretty easy to choose the team and tactics I suppose.

It's maybe because you change 1 min before k.o, they're maybe not warmed up properly!!!!!

[Angele]

Aw, did I catch you out? 

Falling for something like that without allowing for it might make anyone a bit bitter.

Nothing against changing tactics before the KO though. 

And plenty do when it suits them so no, that has no effects on injuries.

The match engine is getting very unpredictable. Lose 1-0 last night to a team who have 2 players out of position. And My worst player involved is better than their best.

Not being unsympathetic and you were probably a bit unlucky but he did turn out a team heavy with defenders and played a lot of the match with defensive tactics (my guess would be he was looking for a 0-0) and you've been around long enough to know that once in a while that works. Also, IMO, the match engine has always had the capability of being silly with teams at the top near the end of a season? A while bck I had won the league undefeated with two matches due to be played against mid-table teams. I didn't do anything different from what I'd be doing all season but still lost both those games. I'd say to any manager that if they are in the top three with a few games to go, always be ready for a dodgy result. In your case, this time around, it's not really going to matter though is it ;-)

Yeah maybe you are right with the results happening vs teams top of the table. Just seemed very strange as I beat the same team 5-2 with 15 mins even to his 75 advantage as the players were so bad. Then then they beat me with 30 mins to my 15.

Lets hope there's another weird unpredictable result tonight. Yes, yes..I'll end up getting two players sent off
