Who are the goal scorers? All Ronaldo or Benzema? I've had that happen a few times to me. You hit the post a bunch and a lot of your chances came in the first half right?
 
You won because you had more possession

Don't be stupid. That rule only comes into effect if its 55% or more

Did you have any injuries Meus. If so, you can apply doicare's ingenius 'injuries+stats-scoreline=correct result' formula, and just give yourself 4 points
 
I just remember Ronaldo outmuscling 4 of my players, running straight through my midfield and defence and hitting into the net. But since then I've been sorting out opponents and handing beatings of biblical proportions.

The thing about FIFA is, win or lose, you rarely come across players who you think are genuinely good (or better) than you. Just played some dude now. Couldn't get the ball off him. Wish I could play like that

Any US gaffers who are going to die when that super storm hits in here?

I'd hope casualties are at a minimum because they've had plenty of warning, but it hasn't hit land yet and thats when it'll shit things up. Passed by me on Thursday and Friday, just got misty rain and heavy winds. 45-50 mph

Dude was probably just like me :p

Does nobody use United online? Never played anyone who'll use them. It's PSG,Madrid,City or Barca.

I know that feel too well. I don't mind losing against a better player, but I always feel like I had bad luck :p

It's a pity, really. I really thought they would qualify for the CL in 08/09 and they were still competing for a spot late in the 09/10 season.

Lambert is an good manager but I'm not sure he's what Aston Villa need. And the Bent situation is mind boggling.

I know, honestly I dont know whether we have been unlucky, stupid or both. Its been a tough ride down though.

Yeah, I was really optimistic preseason. Its been a tough smack back to even worse results as last season.

I liked it but is not that "amazing".

Yeah, that's basically how I felt about it too. I liked Jake Gyllenhaal though, :lol. Kind of disappointing when you consider the director (David Bowie's son!) also did Moon; Source Code was a bit more Hollywood, slightly dumber sci-fi in comparison.

Also, I highly recommend Cloud Atlas. It was seriously impressive; very funny, very engaging, some stunning cinematography. It doesn't all add up quite perfectly, but it's just such a great experience.

Off topic but what did you make of our game against QPR?

Yeah. I sense a tough season coming up for Villa but they are best served to sell Bent, get some money, and reinvest it into players who Lambert wants. Going to struggle if things stay as status quo.

I'm surprised at how cheap I managed to get Alaba for in FM.

I bid 5m up front and 13m spread out over 4 years. Compare him to players like James Ward-Prowse who Southampton wouldn't sell for anything less than 25m.
 
Lets divise a formula to decide who deserves to win a football match

g=difference in goal. Each goal is worth 3 points ie. 2-1 win = 3. Own goals are only worth 2,penalties 1.5

s=difference in shots on target. Each shot is worth 1 ie. having 3 more shots on target = 3

m=difference in misses. As above, but each miss is worth 0.5

i=difference in probable squad members who are injured, each injury is worth 1 point ie. If your team has 3 more injuries than the opponent, you get 3 points

b=difference in banned/suspended players. As above, but each player is worth .5

p=penalties. This is where it gets confusing. A scored penalty is worth 1.5, not 2. A missed penalty saved by the keeper is worth 1. A penalty off target is worth 0.5. Each conceded penalty is worth -1 point, regardless of outcome

c=corners. Each won is worth 0.5

f=difference in fouls, each foul commited against your team is worth 0.5
y=difference in yellow cards. As above, but 0.5 becomes 1
r=difference in reds. As above, but 1 becomes 2

n=difference in possession. Each percentage is worth 1 point

a=difference in passing accuracy. Each percentage is worth 0.5

Result: The number which determines the fair result from the chosen teams prspective. Positive number = deserved win. Minus number = deserved loss

The away team starts with a 2 point advantage

So lets take the Liverpool - Man Utd game from earlier in the season, from Liverpool's perspective. Stats taken from the Guardian match report

The formula is h+g+s+m+i+b+p+c+f+y+r+n+a=Result

h (home advantage)=-2
g=-1.5 (1-2 with a conceded penalty) -3.5
s=3 (6-3) -0.5
m=1.5 (8-5) 1
i=-3(Enrique/Smalling, Vidic, Rooney) -2
b=0 -2
p=-1 -3
c=2 (7-3) -1
f=-3.5 (7-14) -4.5
y=1 (1-2) -3.5
r=-2 (0-1) -5.5
n=4 (52-48) -1.5
a=Not available

So we end up with
(-2)+(-1.5)+(3)+(1.5)+(-3)+(0)+(-1)+(2)+(-3.5)+(1)+(-2)+(4)=-1.5



So Liverpool scientifically deserved to lose by 1.5 points on the Hitcher scale.

Waiting to get tired

I only caught the first half, but it seemed like we were back to the Arsenal at the start of the season—pretty solid, creating chances (Wilshere looked promising, still lacking sharpness but you could see his eagerness and that desire is something that was woefully missing against Norwich and Schalke), and missing sitters. 1-0 scoreline... probably a bit flattering since the goal came after a red card, but it's a clean sheet—and I'll take sterile domination any day if it gets us a win. Not the most comforting of results but QPR are a talented side and it'll be good to get a win before heading to Old Trafford where if (and this is a huge fucking if) the team actually shows up, I think there's a big chance that we can take something from that game and hopefully drag ourselves back into the title picture, especially if United drop points tomorrow.

edit: ^what the fuck.

I am almost in agreement. It just feels wrong selling our (arguably) only really high class player.

Oh and you didnt ask but I thought todays Arsenal win was just what you lot needed.
 
A team's JT constant needs to be added somewhere into this calculation. Also an adjustment for collective squad cost.

Hmm. Perhaps a category for number of players on the cunt list, and a category for number of players who cost over £15million?

So Liverpool would have Suarez and Gerrard on the cunt list (-2) and 4 in the second category (Suarez, Johnson, Henderson, Downing,-4)

Actually, scratch that, the cunt list is not backed up by empirical data. Could add the money category though
