Here's my opinion on the idea of having 3 league games per week but keeping game shape the same. IT SUCKS.

Game shape works right now because managers have the freedom to start their best five players in every league game, but also have to choose between doing that and going after the cup once the bot bashing phase is over. But despite 3 league games potentially adding strategic depth in roster building, I just don't see it as being a fun experience for most players. It would turn star players into more of a burden than a benefit, because you're stuck with their salary and can't even use them much more than your end of bench players. And what's the point of discouraging training up your own stars even further than the HatTrick inspired training system already does?

Much better to ditch game shape for a fatigue system if we do go down the route of having 3 league games. That way you can still play your better players more than your weaker ones, and there would be some level of load management without it being ridiculous.

Changing the GS system is just changing a formulae. MUCH more easy than changing the schedule.

But again, it is a problem of lack of competence in small leagues. Nobody complaining in a big league. You should ask for a merge instead. Then you would have more significant games.

Are you serious? Do you really believe in what you are saying?

"biggest TV contracts"??? Come on, the first thing a bad manager does in a small country is to sign high salary scrubs. Salary is what TV contracts take into account. Look at my team. I am crushing teams with double salaries than my team and much higher ratings also. There is where you see a competitive manager. But of course I am in div.3. I won't be able to that in Spanish div.2 or div.1... not even promote this season...

Even in div.3, every game I played has been disputed. Every league opponent has tried hard to win, I have had to make the lineups with great care. And cup games are for minutes management, so also important in its own way. That is the usual game in the Spanish league. Do you thing That Belgian league is competitive? Don't be delusional.

Your mom called. Says you forgot to grab your brains on your way out of the womb.

We don't have any argument left, we acknowledge that you are right

That forum war tactic is so outdated it witnessed the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. Come up with better ways to troll me back instead of being a brainless crackhead.

Maybe only predated by "mom called" type try of insult

True, but the difference is mom can call you about many different things depending on the poster, whilst *fixed only ever has one punchline with no room for creativity.
