Hey guys,
Just looking for another perspective on my next cup game. I am playing a team that is ranked 1 above me, but I feel I have a stronger roster. I didn't play my starters full minutes through the week so I am going to use all my starters for this week. I currently have 8 enthusiasm. He seems to have played normal every game of the season so far.

My question is: do you think I could win the game if I play TIE with enthusiasm currently 8 and if he plays CT with his enthusiasm (which I am fairly sure is 5).

My priority is to try and do well in the cup so I don't care about the league games at the moment.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks


Just for reference, my 5 starters are the first 5 players listed on my roster.
Also what tactics would you play? I am thinking Man to Man and Push the Ball. Any thoughts?

My connection is too slow ATM to look at your rosters and stuff, but if you don't care about league games, you should just Normal the game. If you really think your team is much more talented, there shouldn't be a problem because you have HCA.

Well I am almost sure I will win if I play normal, but I don't want to unnecessarily play Normal if I can win comfortably with TIE. Because I am thinking I will have a very tough team next week in the cup if I win tomorrow, which means I will need all the enthusiasm I can get.

So you think I should play normal? Does that mean you don't think I would win by playing TIE?

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks

It really depends how you think your team is. obviously you know your team best but if you are confident on TIEing, then why not?

Also remember you are on enthusiasm 8 so playing TIE would prob be the same as him playing normal at 5. If you truly want a cup run and not care about league then why not TIE the league games instead so you can play normal when it comes to the cup games?

Well I think my team is decent (you can have a look, they are up for sale so people can see). Well the only reason I wouldn't want to play TIE is if there is even a small chance of me losing, I'd rather play normal and win if I could lose with TIE.

As for league games, I have played TIE every league game so far anyway and I will continue to play TIE for all league games.
So does that mean you think I should play Normal?

As Tutori said, if it is only a 1 drop in enthusiasm then I might as well play normal, but if it is going to be a bigger increase in enthusiasm by next cup game then it might be worth playing TIE now and next 2 league games in preparation for a tough cup game next week.

If the cup is that important to you then I'd go normal. I'd rather have a guaranteed win and win by 20+ than to go TIE and possibly lose by like 2-3 points.

Since you will be TIEing in your league games anyway, you will make up all the enthusiasm plus more by your next cup gamel

Alright cheers for the advice. I was just looking at his team, and he has 2 half decent guys. 1 9k guy and 1 7k guy. But the 9k guy has played 41 minutes in both league games this week, so probably won't play in this cup game. I might just take a chance and play TIE. I think I could probably still win by 40 points playing TIE if he plays Normal.

Cheers

Good luck hope it works out for you. You will be in a good position for your next cup game if it does.
