Leicester City won the English Premier League in 2015-16 at 5,000 to 1 odds. Upsets happen. I would consider that achievement greater than anything I have ever seen in VM. How boring would VM be if the favorite won every game ?FC Viitorul Constanta wrote:I understand what you're saying, and I appreciate it. I don't generally stress myself with the competition, I just try to make the best of every situation. Maybe I haven't set the best tactic for all games but I think I have refined a decent general tactic that I adapt depending on the opponent to exploit weaknesses and compensate for my own.Lowood Mohicans wrote:Stick with the game. Only time I thought it worth getting slightly stressed and tactical was when actually competing for trophies. Otherwise, take the rough with the smooth.
But there are games each season that make no sense. I can understand a few players playing poorly, I've lost countless matches due to the 2nd keeper that had 4/5 match rating so I decided to buy an older and better one until that one increases to 70-ish.
I also won a game this season despite all odds due to poor form of opponents keeper when he had 4 match rating while my MO had 10.
All this makes perfect sense, any player can get a stellar or a piss poor day.
But how is it possible not to have any chances for an entire match despite having close to 50-50 possession? This baffles me
On the other hand, I sold off my entire squad and replaced them with entirely 15 yo players 2 seasons ago (except for goalie). I have lost probably 60 matches in a row, never scored a goal and sometimes don't even have a shot on goal. If VM was that screwed up, I would have at least managed a 0-0 tie at some point. But no, things have gone just as they should have. I basically did this as an experiment.
I think you will have a lot more fun with this game if you would just relax a bit. Enjoy the moment. One day you will pull off a major unexpected upset and you will feel great about it.
