Hi Steve. I've a question about MPR and Form. I'm sure all managers might like to know a little bit more about how the game works.

After a horrendous run of form I started thinking about the above and how the software works.
In the last 7 games in all competitions, Silversprings have lost 5, won 1 and drawn 1.
No issue there. Teams experience huge dips in Form in real life too.
In each of these games I've had up to 86 Rates to spare. I've tried changing formation and players to no avail.
I'm not sure if my turnover of players is too much. Does that cause form to dip? Love to know a bit more about the software.
Is MPR more important than we give it credit for?
I know the best teams tend to finish in the top half of the league etc etc.
Only one team outrated me this season both home and away. That team too went through a period of about 10 games where he couldn't buy a win.
Just wondering really if you have any further information on how the whole thing works or it it all one big mystery.
I suspect the software doesn't like too much change of personnel or else a random unexplained dip in form hits teams and there may not be too much you can do about it.

I've really enjoyed the season and would like to congratulate everyone who have either won their respective divisions or are on the cusp of completing the job next week! Well played everyone. Let's do it all again next season.

I don't think I can explain MPR any better than it's explained in the full rulebook already. It makes sense that if a player comes back from injury / suspension or just hasn't been playing then it takes a few games for him to start playing at his full rating. I couldn't quantify how much difference it makes though.

It's just one of a number of things that have a small influence on match results that it's simply impossible to put a number on. I have noticed too that a team can suddenly lose form. You are probably doing the right thing in experimenting with changes to see if something changes the teams form but you may also be right in saying that too many changes may not help. I'm not being mysterious here, I just don't know myself... I don't even know match results until they come out of the printer.

Sorry if I made incorrect payments in L3... please mention on your next turnsheet

Thanks

Thanks for your reply Steve.
Hopefully a new season will bring a fresh start.

Who knows what the right thing to do in attempt to halt the slide!
I'll keep plugging away and try to restore some of the rate losses and try to get back to winning ways.
I appreciate your reply thumbsup
Roll on next Season!
