thank you man, i knew it was hard, but if you did mots vs france we could have had a chance.
Did you play PO-normal vs Spain?
If I lose 0,5 of enthusiasm after each dismissing of player I will never reach lvl 15 of enthusiasm after 7 TIEing games:-)
I have notes of enthusiasm behavior (with details about dismissing players etc.) from 9 seasons. No difference in enthusiasm behavior in long term between dismissing one player per week and nobody. One dismissing per week have no influence on enthusiasm. I'm surprised how many expierenced managers don't know it.
So after you say you did dismiss many player, i can tell you if u did dismiss more than 3 player during the all season , u kinda lost your home factor due to entusiasm lost in this moves.
I dismiss one player almost every week (no only 3 players during all season:D). Moreover I did it even last season when I won Consolation Turnament and I was able to win it breaking HCA advantage 4 times in a row. In addition, I did it even this season when I won World Cup:D...so I don't think so:-)
Plus, the ent update for nt is on tuesday, so when u play on friday it doens't update right away (not before monday game anyway).
It would means that playing PO-Normal on Friday in semi-final would be unprofitable and completely no sense?
