Paul, does this 'Champions Win Bonus adjustment' only apply to league Win Bonus? Not any player bonuses and not Euro Bonuses?
Just so that I only increase the appropriate bonus really (and not all of them - would cost a fortune!).

I've increased the win bonus for Fluminense, Plymouth, Nantes and Schalke to 20% of your highest earner so you should be okay now, no need for you to adjust it again unless you want to turn it down of course.

ok, thanks P.

How long has this been an issue out of interest?
I think the previous discussions must've been before I rejoined as I've never heard of the problem before...
Does this only affect league games?

I've checked back on your reports and the issue did exist back on week 1 of the season so it would have been affecting Champion sides in all their league games so far away from home. When you play at home there have been other bonuses that have counteracted the poor win bonus so players would not have suffered, but away from home they may well have been suffering in silence or so it seems as only a few have moaned about a poor win bonus in the managerial feedback which would mean only a few players would have suffered a reduction in their effectiveness as a result of this. Players on superb morale and superb form would not have been affected by poor win bonus. New players in their honeymoon period wouldnt have been affected.

Schalke's away games have been 3-2win 1-0win and a 1-0win against fairly poor opposition and a poor win bonus is more than likely why these results have been poorer than your home results which have been much better 4-0win 3-0win and a 3-2win.

Nantes away games have been 5-1win 4-0win and a 3-3draw and Cannes got a new manager the week of the 3-3 draw so I dont think Nantes have been affected.

Plymouth's away games have been 4-3win 2-2draw 2-4loss with the 2-2 draw with palace preceeding palaces home 2-2 draw with Mancity, so I dont think they were affected there, and Liverpool are playing on top form atm so it's not crystal clear although I suspect Plymouth have been suffering at least slightly.

Fluminense away games have been 2-2draw with Santos 3-4loss at Internacional and a 4-4draw at Cruzeiro so I would say they have definitely been affected adversely in their away game against Internacional although the results against Santos & Cruzeiro look okay. So I'm going to rerun the Inter vs Flu game and apply the result to the table, although it wont show in the results just in the tables.

I reran the Liverpool vs Plymouth game with this week's teams ( best I could do ) and it ended up 3-2 to Liverpool so I'm going to let the original result stand.

Can't really do much else at this point but I think I've corrected all the glaring indiscrepancies in recent results. Apologies for the upset but that's life I guess and it is just a game...

Thanks Paul, that all seems fair enough under the circumstances...

Just seen all this and you cant believe how relieved I am that there was a reason for the recent results!!
Thought I was seriously losing the plot!!

Appreciate you looking into this Paul, even after me spitting my dummy out earlier.  Thanks

I can only apologise to everyone on here for my behaviour and curt posts, it was just borne out of frustration and I'll try to refrain from it in future.

We all have tantrums. It happens. I think the key is that sometimes glitches happen .... or that’s what I tell my clients at least. It feels crushing especially if you’re having a bad day etc but it is a game!!! Christmas is coming let’s focus on that!! Plus the real positive is we all still love the game which is why we get so worked up. How much of a genius is Paul for building something that generates this much passion??

Villa still beat Plymouth, so I don't give a ..... hehehe
Sorry (not)

Back in the day, I remember a few (well at least one) champions getting relegated the next season.

Transfers included but not limited to

Kyriakis Papadopoulos moved from Real Madrid to Inverness for 30m.
AC Milan grabbed the marked for retirement keisuke Honda from the non-league 30m.
Soton signed Mitrovic & Milivojevic from Red Star for 50m.
Bayern rescued Ribery from retirement.
Watford signed Kovacic from Schalke for 20m.
Andros Townsend moved to Palace for 16.5m.
Schalke signed Franck Kessie & Luca Jovic for 5m each.
Schalke rescued Koscielny from Retirement by trialling him.

It is worth noting here again that when players retire they move to the non-league for just one week. So you have one guaranteed week in which to rescue a player from retirement. Once a player is in retirement and in the non-league for more than one week they may be processed at any time, they could be either moved to the veterans database or deleted completely, so that their reference number can be reused, once they have moved they are no longer available.

No need to apologise Tom totally my fault, the game was designed to be complex but hopefully fun as well, but it's not fun if I don't give you all the information you need to make the right decisions, and I thank you for bringing the issue to my notice.

Thanks to everybody for your continued support, big thanks.

In our house my kids have developed the idea of Chrismakah (no religion involved but combining Christmas and Hannukah) ......... a month long orgy of excess and presents kicking off on December 1. My highlight being the annual ‘Turducken Day’ on Boxing Day. Just for note a turducken is a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey with at least 2 sorts of stuffing all while watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
