Hello community. I'm not happy with the game at the moment. This season I made the effort to put together a young team with players with an average NG of 80. So my team ends up with an NG of 83.9.
Logically, my team is the strongest in the league. But I had to play a match yesterday with an NG68 that I lost 4-1.

I did everything I could to win, but every time I tried something I got a goal. As a result, I couldn't understand how a very strong team on paper could be dominated like that and lose by that score.

I don't think there's any logic to it. It's a game, not reality.
If I could lose, it would have to be a resounding score, not 4-1.

I don't understand anything any more. I need some explanations please.

Your opponent was probably using a counter-attacking style of play. His ng is pretty low but he's got extra speed.

The first explanation is the affinity between your players. It's far from 100%.

...and their form at kick-off.
Sincerely, there are many things that can clearly explain this result, far from being surreal, sorry 😐

Especially as you have an agreement with some guys who are ready to help!
So let's get on with it...
I could have helped you, others too, how many times on our beautiful forum have we offered to help members, whether in styles, training ...
J'ai mal a mon ELU comme dirait l'autre 😅

Meo Keres: Bonjour la communauté. Je suis mécontent du jeu en ce moment. Cette sais j'ai fait l'effort monté une équipe jeune avec des joueurs à NG80 de moyenne. Donc mon équipe se retrouve avec un NG de 83,9.
Mon équipe est logiquement la plus forte du championnat. Mais j'ai eu à jouer un match hier avec un NG68 que j'ai perdu sur le score de 4-1.

J'ai pourtant fait tout ce que je pouvais pour gagner, mais à chaque fois que je tentais un truc, je me prenais...

As for yesterday's game, if we look at the statistics we can see that he dominated you in all your defensive areas, and by quite a margin. That, combined with possession that was slightly to his advantage, and the fact that you didn't dominate him in your own attacking areas, makes this result understandable. It's not 'illogical'.

You may feel frustrated that he scored 2 goals just after you opened the scoring. But your opener was more of a hold-up, he could have scored one or two goals before that, without it being 'scandalous'.

You've got to be joking! You had a 9% chance of winning and a 13% chance of drawing.
At that rate, I'm not sure what you're complaining about.
The NG is only one parameter among others, tactics, individual and collective instructions, the level of stamina and the physical condition of the players are also crucial.
I have a team with only two players who exceed 90 NG and I've been to the 1/8 finals of the LDC and am in the top 20 of the VF rankings, so broaden your criteria without making a fuss about the NG of the players.

Meo, as Kevin said, don't hesitate to ask the ELU about this kind of thing 😉

Good evening, if we look at the statistics, you couldn't have won this match, your opponent controlled both sides midfield - attack left and right, the complete midfield line with the back - midfield and attack ...

Hello to all vf managers, I too lost my 1st league match away from home, and I lost my 1st league match 0-4 even though I was better than my opponent in terms of overall score and even in terms of players, my opponent also had players who weren't as strong as mine, so what can you see?
