Hello,

Just a quick question on how a rivalry is decided. It was my understanding that its based on the general competitiveness of both teams. Or at least the team that's most similar to yours.

Nah it seems to be determined by the point differential in the last 2 league games you played against a team. The team with the closest games is your rival. His rival however can be someone else he had even closer games against and that's how you end up with situations where the same team is the rival of 2 or 3 others.

I dont think this is correct, but it might be the best guess.

If it were, there's 3 other teams that are more appropriate rivals than what I've been given.

It has usually worked for me. Just check the rivalry menu available when you check another team: apart from empirical evidence even the name of that tab suggests that's the information that is used to determine the season rival.

Even in Utopia: 4 teams I have never played, D L R I played in the cup once +67 PD, NiElSexoTampoco last 2 league games ended -28 and -33 and Etonic Akeem last 2 league games ended -4 and -14 (and the last match was in the cup where I won by 3). Etonic is my rival.

Bad luck getting WA is a Dump as your rival, he is my rival too.

I know.

It seems a bit random. I dont know what calculation would give a freshly promoted team the best team in the country as a rival.

I play them in my first home game so the entire season will be compromised - financially.

I think the number of games played between each other plays a role in selection.

I am pretty sure the first criterium is most games played against each other.
What the second one is, I have no idea

Nah, can't be, otherwise you would always have the same team as rival as long as you are in the same conference and we all know it changes. It has to do with results, but, of course, if you never played a game against another team, he can't be your rival and vice versa. The OP already played most of these teams in the past, when he was in the other conference, but he's the only one who can go on the other teams page and look at the rivalry history and draw some conclusions, I can only do that for my teams.

I always have the same rival.

Talentinho to which I have played by far the most games against. And when he is not in my league I have Woodbrigde Wreckers, who I have now played the most games against in my history.

Last season (37629) had me as his rival and I had (37692). Now we both have (37692) as a rival.
