Season 26 Week 14 processing...

Thanks Paul.

processing all finished, printing now then I'll send out the email turns in the morning.

So, are semi-finals drawn out of a hat then? And are they at a neutral venue or 2-legged?

I honestly can't remember that far back?

Drawn out of a hat next week and played in week 20 single game at neutral grounds, usually the biggest grounds belonging to teams that arent actually playing, but it also depends on things like undersoil heating and changing rooms etc.

Email turns all sent out.

Thanks Paul as ever for a great week.

On another note - Did anyone notice a distinct lack of goals in their friendlies this week by any chance? 

All my games all finished either a draw (0-0 or 1-1) or 1-0, 0-1 - including those who played me... Think this is 12-14 games...

Paul - is this an anomaly or did something perhaps go awry here this week with these games?

I'll check it out, may just be the opposition teams are fully trained up now and goals are harder to come by, but I'll have a look and check.

Thanks Paul - might be just one of those weeks but considering it was all games thought would flag it up...

Yeah happened in mine too, makes sense with the other teams getting up to speed I guess.

Cant find anything wrong with the systems that handles goal chances and I've had a look at some of the current skill levels of some of the players involved in the games mentioned and everybody seems pretty much trained up now, as they should be by week 14, so I would expect there to be less goals around, esp when compared with earlier in the season. 

This effect has been compounded cos we have more managers now than earlier in the season so their players are benefitting more than they would under a reality manager.

I will keep an eye on this for a few weeks because I don't like to make changes to a system based on just one or two weeks results.

Thanks Paul. As you say might just be similar skill levels etc but I'll play some more friendlies next week to see how things play out

Thank you Paul.
