This sim comes out with the most bizarre matches. I wonder if it was written by someone who only watches Blue Square matches and below?
I think the main reason it comes out results that appear to be surprising is due to the fact that in reality there isn't really a massive difference between the majority of the players. With post counts coming in for next season and people playing more games the gap between players will become far greater, so it will be clearer between good and bad players.

The Cambridge/Laing/Manera/James midfield has been gun. I know where I'll have to sign next season... :ninja:
