Season 22

Welcome to season 22. I have done all the usual promotions, relegations and cup draws.

I have also finalised the salaries and ticket prices to what I think they need to be. It shall be monitored as usual but I think I'm nearer where it should be now.

One thing new for this season is a timeline on the match reports. I intend this to eventually display all shots, bookings etc but for now it is just goals and substitutions due to injury. I'm hoping I can add to it throughout the season.

I'm also still evaluating ideas to counteract cheating with transfers and the match engine. As and when things change I will tell you what I can.

Bear in mind though that this new engine works totally different to the old one. This one has a lot more detail in it and takes much more into consideration rather than just adding up ratings. Teams full of 20 rated players just won everything previously and it certainly needed freshening up. There's aspects I know need improving but don't think that you should win just because your ratings are higher. It will obviously help but it's not all....

Enjoy the season anyway - hopefully I can get some of these unmanaged teams assigned managers before I contemplate taking divisions out for future ones.
