Phil baby, sweetheart, bubula! I always knew you had it in you. Uh, no, you’re not starting next round.

What the match story doesn’t say is Foden picked off a pass in his own end and and took it half way down the pitch beating 2 defenders and the keeper.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen a player get the highest match rating and not get MOTM. Interesting.

Thanks Z. Good match BG. Check is in the mail Pau.

Oh boy… If it’s not an injury it’s another red. Hopefully FM23 is updated. GG James and thanks for simming Zizou.

I just wanted to point out that yellow cards, red cards and injuries in the sim aren’t always completely random. A GM’s instructions will have a lot to do with how often you his teams get them. It’s not just the players or the instructions they have on a given match (the instructions for an anchor man, a ball winner, etc.). It’s also the instructions in the tac on attack and defense. If your instructions are aggressive, you’ll likely see more cards and suspensions. We kind of established the theory a few seasons ago when simmers noticed that the teams that had a slew of these incidents stack up (as you’re seeing now) were also GMs that were using very aggressive tacs/instructions. And that was happening, as a result. Those kind of instructions usually leads to a lot of goals, if you can get them to work for you. And that’s definitely been the case for your two Senior clubs as far as goals scored. But it can also have its drawbacks.

Again, that’s not always the case. Aggressive tacs don’t necessarily always mean more cards and injuries. They’re just more likely. If you notice it becoming a problem, feel free to make an adjustment and despite exceptions, you may see difference in the long run.

Yeah, I’m aware of that and I wasn’t suggesting it was down to your simming if it came across that way. I also wasn’t referring to that with regards to an FM update

For the record, I always instruct my players to be kind and courteous on the pitch, make sure their tackles are clean, raise their hand when they commit a foul to demonstrate their culpability, and to always help the opposing player up off the pitch. I suggest they go to confession if they commit a particularly bad foul, but that is optional depending on their religious practices.
