a 3-1 away loss. The inad midfield comes from one of my guy being sent out

[FrogMan]

Hello everyone,

This is the thread I will use to lighten my workload of hunting the game ratings for the more than 120 or so Hattrick members we have on FOFC.

The only thing you need to post here is your team ratings, as it appears on the right side of your league game report. Only the one for your team, the one for your opponent is irrelevant.

As an example, here's what my post for my team's last significant match ratings (yeah, you know, the one with the solid midfield :D) would look like:
=====================================
Pintendre Pittbulls
Player rating and Team formation
Midfield: solid
Right Side Defence: solid
Central Defence: passable
Left Side Defence: passable
Right Side Attack: solid
Central Attack: passable
Left Side Attack: weak
=====================================

Do a simple copy/paste instead of writing it up.
I need everything from the team name to the "Left Side Attack" rating.
Do not alter it in any way (like deleting the "Player rating and Team formation" line because it doesn't look cute).

This is simply because I use this whole thing just as it is. Your team name is need to add your entry in the ratings database and the it is easier to ask excel to ignore the extra line between your team name and the actual ratings than go and delete it everytime I input a team's ratings...

Also, if you make a mistake (like you realize a few hours later that you posted the wrong week), please PM me or repost your rating. DO NOT EDIT YOUR OLD RATINGS. There's a chance that I've already entered your ratings in the database and I might miss the "edit" mention on posts.

At some point on Monday, maybe even in the afternoon, once I'll have copied all the posted ratings, I will post in this thread that I am starting to hunt ratings from Hattrick. At that point, it will be too late for you to post your team ratings. Not that big a deal, it's simply that I don't want to wait for some guys that may not log into FOFC until Wednesday for whatever reason. Posting your ratings should not not take a lot of your time (do it right after reading you game report) but it will same me a lot of time. The Monday night deadline should give ample time to a lot of people to post their ratings.

Finally, comments about your team and the score of the game are welcome and encouraged. As long as your ratings are clearly separated from your comment, I won't have any problems with it.

To everybody who will post their ratings in here, I say: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :)

3ric, your squad is improving tons this season. I remember seeing lots of poors and weaks not that long ago. Great Job, shouldn't be long before you are in the top swedish league. ;)

[FrogMan]

I agree with The Afoci, 3ric, your ratings are moving on up! Congrats on the good work paying off.

I had been paying some attention to your ratings, as I see all, and I mean ALL of the FOFC game ratings, and I was about to comment on your first solid in anything. Now, pump that porr midfield to a regular inadequate at home, weak away from home, and you'll be in a pretty good shape to promote. Good luck!

Yeah, that was a crappy showing and a crazy match. Many, many things factor in those low ratings. I kind of overstrategized myself, if that's possible (oh, scratch that, it's very possible :p)

I knew coming into the match that my opponent had played 4 consecutive weeks of 5-3-2 formations, always getting disastrous midfields, but getting some formidable-formidable-solid ratings in defense. Disatrous midfield for him meant PIC for me for sure... His offense had never been better than inadequate-inadequate-weak. So basically, I had to get a reasonable midfield (despite the PIC), while trying to generate as much offense as possible. SO I set my lineup with Boom, my newly acquired solid winger/passable defender set offensively to help my wing attack on that side, with my ofensive winger on that side. On the other side, at wing, I had Rasmussen, a solid playmaker in poor form set toward middle because it was his turn to play wing in my rotation of trainee. I decided to go with Rasmussen because, even though he is in poor form, this is the game where I need the smallest boost to my midfield (upcoming opponents get solid and excellent midfields). To generate some offense, I plugged in Groonbörn at inner mid, played offensively. While he's only inadequate at playmaking, he's a solid passer, so it was gonna help my attack ratings. Finally I set Hegger (solid defender/inadequate passer) offensively at central defender to make up for Groonörn's only inadequate playmaking. This and Boom's offensive setting explain the two inadequate defense ratings. They should have been either at least solid usually, or even excellent.

Then came in the stuff I couldn't control. God (solid scoring/solid passing) got injured in the 22nd minute, and his replacement (Olenfeldt, passable scoring/inadequate passing) got sent off in the 42nd minute for headbutting an opponent. That was it for the central attack rating, which still ended up solid. Then Groonbörn got hurt... All in all, a very sucky game. Even worse, Hegger got his 3rd yellow of the season and will have to sit out next week's game :(

One thing I learned though: playing defenders offensive isn't really worth it...

About the only thing that went right today was my bowel movement. And even that was just so-so. :p

I suffered a 1-1 MOTS tie at home against one of two teams I'm battling for 6th place - goddammit. My opponent got one shot all day, which he of course made, while I got 5 but only made good on one. This wasted my first-ever excellent midfield, and a rainstorm ruined my home attendance. To add insult to this injury, the other team I'm battling with to get out of the auto-relegation zone handily won their match over the #2 side in the series when said #2 side in the series mailed in their performance (an apparent PIC). This turn of events left me firmly, and probably permanently, in the auto-relegatioin zone. :(

Somebody in Div V leave a light on for me - I'm comin' home! :)

Very disappointing 1 - 1 draw at home. Team record 55 NSI, I successfully matched my best attack (solid on the right) against my opponents' weakest defense (solid on the left), gave up an early Quick special-event goal, and got one lousy scoring chance out of 57% and 66% possession. :mad: Not to mention losing one of my four solids to injury... fortunately, a) it's only two weeks, b) he was out next week due to suspension anyway, and c) next week is a walkover.

I believe that the 71 NSI is my highest ever. I decided to go with the run-and-shoot for th efirst time in a league match playing only one IM at normal and my CD at normal. Everyone else was offensive and the ratings bear that out. I think ardent may have swung WHFC to the dark side.

Especially when you want him to cover for Boom. If you have the personnel for an offensive centreback (high defense and high stamina/playmaking combination), though, one possibility would be to play Boom normal (still get benefit of solid winger and keep the passable defense), Heggar offensive next to him and Kindander flanking him as the second centreback. If you're worried about the wing defense opposite Boom, you could try Kindander as a "toward wing" centreback.

I was okay with playing both of them offensive for that one game, since I knew my opponent had some very ordinary attack ratings (nothing better than inadequate) and some out of the ordinary defense ratings (formidable x2). For that reason, I was all right with the gamble of lowering my defense ratings in order to try and raise my other ratings. The thing is even though Boom was played offensively, it still only gave me an excellent on that side, which is the why of my conclusion... I will have some planning to do this week, with Hegger now suspended for a week, but I've got an ace in Matts Bohin, a passable defender with passable experience who just got his form back from poor up to solid in three weeks. He may very well be the one to play for Hegger...

A 4-1 win normal'ing on the road. One question...even for my road games, I usually get an inadequate or better at midfield. Did playing 2 of my IM's defensively hurt mine? Granted, the team I played had a wretched MF, but I want better. Stay tuned to the Terps, next week is the key match with the #1 on GD (the guy who wants to stay in div V). What an interesting ride this season has been...

Yep, playing the IM's defensively hurt your midfield.

Sorry Nyar, but this is not what the rules say...

From the rules:

Inner midfielder
offensive: more passing, less defending
defensive: more defending, less passing

There's nothing in there about less midfield... Only if you play an IM toward the wing would you lose some midfield ability...

While we may see some tendency to a drop (a passable at home earlier and now inadequates) it's not really true to say she was getting inadequate midfields regularly on her away games before today (poor, poor, and weak this week), so I think this weak this week is pretty much in line with what her team is capable of. Disclaimer: I have not looked at the lineups used in those matches, only the ratings and the location of the game, to see if there was any correlation in her few last weeks.

Another way for tk to analyze this is to go see her supporter stats and see where this midfield ranks in her best midfield ever (if it even ranks in the top 15) and it may very well be the top weak of all her weak midfields, suggesting that it could very well be a very high weak, borderline to inadequate, which would be pretty good for her, considering that her best away midfield in the last 7 weeks was a poor midfield...

Looks like tk got caught in the golfer's syndrome, where the golf player shoots a 90 for the first time of his/her life, while he/she had never played under 100 before, and that 90 becomes his/her norm :) Just kidding, tk ;)

I'm also learning that home field advantage has can have a lot of impact on midfield. For example, my team can get passable easily at home, and even solid (this is document in my excel spreadsheet of course :) ), while I only got a passable once away from home, and that was with a delirious team spirit. And this brings me to the team spirit, another aspect of the game that can have some impact on your midfield. I would suspect that when she got her passable, her TS was probably high, but now, it has probably come down a little. Just a thought though...

These are all reasons why her midfield may have taken a dip, or that maybe it looked like a dip and wasn't really one :) Hoping you all followed my train of thoughts :)

FM, an interesting analysis. BUT, for reference, matches away on 8.17 and 9.07 were PIC'd as was the 9.16 match. I guess I just expected better, but a win is a win, maybe I shouldn't complain...

Okay, some more information for me to chew on... :)

Okay, away games of 8.17 and 9.07 are PIC and you got poor both times. My guess would be that PIC cost you one level of midfield, giving you a weak had you played normal. Same thing goes for the home game on 9.16, weak with a PIC is quite the same as inadequate at normal.

A weak away, on normal, is still pretty much in line with what I would have expected. Did you check in your supporter stats to see what kind of weak it was? It very well may be one of your highest weak... And as I said, my analysis was pretty much only a look at what your team had achieved, I have not looked at your roster or anything like that...

Hell, you should talk to my boy then. He's practically giving wins away. He usually has a two for one special too.

NSI of 52 at home on Normal. I'm very annoyed because my best IMF has had horrible form for the last 6 weeks. It would be nice to know what kind of numbers he is posting in passable/solid form so that I can make a chart foir future trainees. But he is constantly at weak/inadequate and it is driving me nuts and bringing down my midifeld rating.

Lost 1-0 to the 2nd Place Team in my series while PIC'ing. 0-8-1 in my league. At least my TS is delirious. I'm going to go spend some of that 750k that has been sitting around while I dealt with the move to college.

PS - Thanks to Frogman for pulling ratings the last couple weeks while I didn't post them.
