Cohesion changes during the regular season?

[Ben E Lou]

In my dynasty, I recorded cohesion at the beginning of Week 1 as 87-100-85-59. It is now 100-100-75-75, late in the regular season. My passing cohesion should have dropped, if anything, I would think, because my long-time starting TE had to go on the IR, and was replaced by a fourth-year man. Anyone know what's going on here?

My guess would be that the team(s) that started the year ahead of you have also had injuries to the guys that make up their 'passing' cohesion group (as well as in the other groups, notably in the secondary).

From what I remember seeing, cohesion will change during the season depending on who you (and all of the other teams) have in their starting lineups. I don't have any documented proof of this, though (is more from memory, and is likely taken from previous versions of FOF (in other words, someone will need to look into this to see if I'm talking nonsense or not)).

Ah. Good point. It is known to be relative. I'm sure that's what's going on here.

Yep, the team with the best cohesion gets assigned a 100 and the other teams values are relative to that.
