FML Casual Only

A chap in Voller was rage quitting and a discussion started about the state of the game. A few of the managers in there posted to the mailing list that actually you were far better off not really stressing over the game and just playing it casual.

I must say this is exactly my position now it does play a lot better if your casual. In some GW's Whiteside being one I think I went seasons without playing any live games, often the answer to a teams form is time so why stress out about it.

I'd skim though results and they would go WWWWLLLWWWW the LLL had I been around I'd have fiddled and no doubt made it worse.

I'm still convinced that for us more normal users that would actually like to play more then three hours a week a faster GW would be much better. I've got some half tidy youths in Voller and it's six months before they hit their peak, I think my sub runs out before then!

Read that some teams are now able to support £200k wage bills in some GW's, this isn't funded by success on the pitch but their success at Football Trader Live. In turn this is possible, even easy with heavy inflation.

As wheeler dealer simply isnt my style (I used to like developing youths - very hard with YA when Im a Scout Specialist) should the ME favour one playstyle over another? From what Ive seen in my GW (Sanchez) the top teams are simply the forum sheep 433 merchants who bought and sold heavily in seasons 1-2. Im sad that Im mediocre in that respect!

I do tend to agree. Not sure if its because people like to tinker, and don't really understand the impact (and I guess I'm one of them), as I was off for the best part of 5 days... and I went to the top 10 ranked in Senior and youth.

I have seen this happen with others who have been off for a sustained perio too.... notably one guy who was away for the main of 3 months and he went from 100 (in old GW money) to the top 5.

Is it just that same players in the team, and consistancy in tactics, are rewarded or mistakes by 'core' managers.

Puzzling and possibly concerning.
