FOFC and Hattrick: How far we have come

[PilotMan]

I was just browsing on hatstats, and noticed how many FOFC teams rated in the top 30 hatstats ratings for last week. So then I went to look at the top 100 and here is what I found.

Not too bad, considering it is just any given week out of the year. I would say that we are well represented.

edit - Some of these may be innacurate, but the sentiment remains the same.

Staying power of support from each other keeps us interested in continuing to play. I think on any given week, you'll see at least 10 of us on that list.

[Raven Hawk]

Bah, you picked a week when I was down a middie and overconfident on the road. :)

[Coffee Warlord]

May none of you ever get stuck in III.1, as a side note. Gurgh.

[Havok]

Bah, you picked a week when I was down a middie and overconfident on the road. :)


bah you picked a Season when my best middy is in poor form(hasn't been above weak all season), second best is in inadquate form, WTM is in weak form, goalie in inadequate(now weak) form, forward was in inadequate form, best defender is injuried, etc etc etc.... I should be cranking out 265 - 275 every week with a huge chunk of it coming from my midfield.

oh did i mention that my 3 starting middies haven't played a game together in passable or better form in 21 weeks?? and in each of the past 3 seasons my teams average form has dropped to inadequate for at least 4 weeks(7 weeks last season and now on week 4 this season). The only players on my team that seem to hold good form are my defenders. Figures that they are the least important players on my team.

sorry had to vent... just so unbelievably frustrating that i go thru this every season while i sit around and watch people with their entire team in passable-excellent form.

I dare anyone to 1 up here.... i would LOVE to hear it.

I can't win despite better stars and ratings? I was out of the cup in round 2?

[Havok]

yeah, i'd say your getting screwed pretty hard aswell. Sucks when completely random things like that screw you over. You have zero control over them and thats why it pisses me off. If i had just average form this season, i would probally win midfield in about 12 of my games this season. Instead im just trying to win my home games and wait for my form to turn around(yeah right).

oh.......and speaking of completely random, don't even get me started about youth pulls!

Greetings.

I just joined FOFC (played 2k4 for 6 hours today already), and my Circus Freaks are putting up kickass Cup ratings so here's one more set of high ratings for the crew.

More good posters are always welcomed :)

SI

[daedalus]

Welcome to the board. :)
