Should I PIC?
 

I just switched coaches so the TS is at content right now. The team I am playing has yet to score a goal in league play and seems pretty bad. So if I PIC it will I still get a pretty dominating win?

Here's my last game ratings

Vs a disastrous midfield? PIC em.

I would PICem. How is your opponent next week?

Next week I play the 7th place team who have yet to score a goal either. :D

I figure I will PIC them as well since I then play the #5, and #2 teams respectively in the two weeks following.

Yeah, PIC these next 2, to set yourself up for the #5 and #2 teams. Also, if I had an easy match after the #2, I would play the #5 normal, MOTS the #2, then PIC the match after that to get your TS back up.

PIC'em!!

I think PIC is safe as long as both of you play the same teams as those ratings come from.

SI

What's a PIC?

Playing it Cool. It increases team spirit but it causes your team to play at a more reserved level.

OK, new PIC scenario, except the opposite way.

I play the top team in my league next week. Here are the ratings from this week's games

Beyond that gulf, my best midfielder is out with two yellows, my second best midfielder is "bruised but training", and one of my defenders is out a week. This doesn't feel winable to me; is it worthwhile to just throw in the towel and get the TS boost, or should I go for it nonetheless?

Figure I'll just bump this up. I'm playing the 7th place team in my series on Sunday and they have yet to score a goal this season. I was thinking I would probably be safe PICing, but my TS is good enough so I think I might just play normally to make sure I get the win. What's everyone else's opinion?

Here's my ratings from last week while PICing the game.
