What if there were two teams that each just lined up 5 players with perfect levels of stamina, great levels of defense, and crap offense*? If they played each other twice in a week (so no form changes) and in the same arena both games (maybe one is a league game, one a friendly), do you (or we) think that they'd post the same team ratings? That the players would post the same player ratings?


* These last two conditions so that fouls wouldn't be a problem - they could both play slow offense and defense to limit possessions and limit fouls that way too.

I doubt our luck finding two teams in the same league willing to do this. Perhaos a couple #5 teams would be willing to do this during the playoffs...?

appreciating you rquest for knowledge, i cant see beyond the fact that you have showed (and if we were all to have an estimate) that at the current match ratings we all obtain the deviance between home and away is approx 1/3 of a full rating point for certain stats (RB / ID being the most visible)

It would be interesting to know how the difference widens (if at all) as we all progress up the rankings...

i cannot see how further investigation at these levels is going to show up anything new....

i think these numbers wil become more interesting in a few seasons then multiply a TIE / CT into the equation and then we may have some more interesting data...

also at these levels the random factor has much more do to with the results...
