...That is the question.
I just took over the lead by 2 points over two other teams, so I need to pull at least a tie to win the series.
The team I'm playing a new team winked into existance last week, so it has played one league game and a friendly. Based on his ratings of disastrous MF on the road, this should be a blowout for me, playing at home--I won 9-1 on the road last week. (Aside, he played an international friendly away game and had two players injured in extra time, so he might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer).
My TS is content after spending the early weeks at irritated. I have a semi-clown, but coach is a weak leader. My confidence is wonderful until game day, when it drops to strong, which is a good thing since the players should not get over confident playing vs. the #7 team.
Using Hattrick Forever, it forecasts a whole step drop in midfield if I PIC, which would be weak to poor (after allowing for HF not quite getting my MF ratings right). If the other guy MOTS me--which he should do, if he has read anything at all in the conferences, could his MF rise to poor also? I should make more shots than he does, but I'm not inclinded to let this one go to the Hattrick gods.
Will I get any benefit from a PIC, given a weak coach? The drop in confidence on game day is prompting my question, more than anything. Is there any realistic reward possible for the risk of a PIC, given my weak coach?
