I'm York City, season 2020-21. 4th in Prem, I had told the board I was going to get Euro spot to get the bigger wage/transfer budget. They gave me plenty so I was able to completely rebuild the team with some pretty good players. I've got an Genie CA average of 157 for the team which isn't bad at all. But here comes Carlin Cup whose win will give me Europa League, I'm in the final with Chelsa after having disposed of Liverpool in QF and Arsenal in SF. Due to having been burned a great deal of times with parse errors i do a save before each game then copy the saved game to a separate hard drive. So Chelsea, that I've beaten once before 2-0 comes in and whoops me badly, 5-1. In an effort to try and improve on the tactics, mostly to see what exactly went wrong, I reloaded the game from my save before and replayed it, slightly different formation, different roles. 3 - 0 Chelsea. Replayed it again, 3 - 1. Let my *** Man handle it while I went on vacation. 2 - 0 Chelsea. and on and on... I must have played that game something like 6-7 times myself and 5 or so on vacation with *** taking over. Chelsea beats me every single time. I don't know what gives... Now I'm sure I'll get an Euro spot, there are 10 games to play in Prem and at least I'll get Europa even if I do real real bad. But seems that my team lacks the motivation to come up big in big matches. The best players I have come from either dutch or portugese leagues. Good English players cost a pretty penny I just couldnt afford so I got whoever I could. So yea, that's my frustration... Oh well.
And another really sucky thing this season is that lots of games I've been leading 1 - 0 and in the very last minutes the opposition sneaks one in.
