QFT. Last night in the online save my Arsenal defenders just let the opposition casually walk around unchallenged in the box as goal after goal went in. Mertesacker had a 3.6 rating for one match, followed by a 4.4 and a 5.6 (he's on an upswing!). Three matches in a row not one single defender had a match rating above a 6, which led to three straight defeats that might have knocked me out of the title race. During that stretch I felt like chucking my laptop out the window, and debated what would be the best sacrifice to make to the FM Gods to stop the punishment. Then I held a team meeting, Van Persie rallied the troops, and I beat Everton handily.
I could whine that FM didn't want me to win the title, and they manufactured the poor defensive play. Or I could realize my team's morale was shot after the first loss (a 6-2 drubbing at Citeh) and should have called the team meeting earlier than I did. There is no scripting in FM. Unless Tim wins the title in our online save. Then FM cheated.
