OTF adjustment

Only note I would have on your spot on post, Steve, is that I normally would multiply the effects of CP on a player by 2/3, since they typically play 2 out of every 3 matches while OTF adds to your stats 3/3 matches.

MPPs

Agree that the positional flexibility is a key benefit of MPPs. I use SDs to easily switch to having 6 defenders when moving to a stall, for example.

But I think the benefit I tend to value more is the shooting boost - having a MF that shoots like a FW or a DF that shoots like a MF. Probably only leads to a couple more goals per season at best, but that's not half bad!

Now, my vaguely related big idea for OLMEC in the 2020s...what about wingbacks? A MPP position that can play WG or DF with no negative effect. I'll admit this would benefit MOT's playstyle greatly, but it would be an interesting twist to bring WGs into the MPP fold that everybody could take advantage of.

John (LIV)

Looks like you forgot a banker in the prediction league. Hope you see this in time!

Superstars

If my tabulation is correct, this is the 6th season we've had the superstar draw, so it is worth a look at how the random draws have shaken out:

Won 3 times:

ARB, COW, PT

Won 2 times:

AI, FAL, FRA, STE, EST, ELG, RR

Won 1 time:

CEL, BRE, ROS, INV, EDI, SRA, QOS, CB, BER, DEE, EF, SM, ALB

Never won:

ABE, ALO, ANN, AYR, CLY, COV, DEV, DUM, DUU, DFA, FOR, GM, HAM, HEA, HIB, KIL, LIV, MON, MOT, NAI, PET, QP, RAN, STJ, STI

 

Not too surprising of a distribution for random draws over 6 seasons, but there are some interesting details:

  • Of the 6 first division draws (the most likely to go to a new team each season), none of them have gone to a team in the "won 1 time" list. ARB has won it 3 times (twice in the first division, once in the second), COW have won it 3 times (once in the first division, twice in the second), FRA have won it twice in the first division, and PT have won it 3 times (once in the first division, twice in the 3rd)
  • Teams that have been in the first division all 6 seasons are still more likely to have not won it (68% chance) than to have won it (32% chance by now). 
  • Teams that have been in the 3rd division all 6 seasons are more likely to have won it once or more (71% chance) compared to having never won it (29%). Even staying just in the 2nd division would put you as more likely to win it than not (55/45%). So, there are some sides in the 'never won' list that should feel pretty hard done by the random draws!
