Plus, this is why boom-bust will always be prefered over a smooth and stable economy, because that's how those in power, and with money make more money. It's bad for us, good for them. There are ways to fix out economy, but those who can don't want to... :P

Yeah, Rooney was a pretty poor example, I'll take an extract from Ben Goldacre's Bad Science...

Oops, returned that book yesterday.

He mentioned something about the Sport Magazine curse, whereby anyone who appeared on a sport magazine (after a particularly good streak) would become worse again (a regression to the mean).

Although I'm not going to argue with a scientist, most likely older than me.

One thong came to my mind: It should be explicitly statet somewhere that people who signed up for 5 games are not allowed to play more. Because this is part of the calculated value of the player.

It says so on the sheet, snife :)

And tojam, that's probably to do with a lot of factors, such as confirmation bias. If a player is showcased, then supports will expect from from them, if he performs poorly it will be even more noticed, even if it's still within a players average. Also the play himself may feel more pressure if he reads about himself.

With a lot of these things it's always subjective too, how "good" a player plays in football is arbitary at best, other than stats there's not a lot to go on other than a "feeling" of how well they played. All of these are factors :)

Is there a Periodic Table map?

Update:

We have begun the process of choosing 6 managers from the 12 candidates. I hope to complete this in a day. We're in the process of estimating base prices for all players in the pool as well.

We will also have a live stream after WGL today to talk about the Manager League!!

Might be playing tonight, no idea what the template is, lol.

Kindly relay a time suitable for the whole world to view the livestream
do state a time
so we can view it

I can play 10 games

i can empathize with you prabster :(
these western people always think the world revolves around them

WGL usually starts in 1 hour from now and takes around 3 hours in general depending on template so i expect the manager league stream to begin somewhere between 9 and 10 PM GMT.
just saying i'm not part of the team so i just give a estimated time
