Last night I played 'Normal' against the All Stars 'MOTY' and lost 42-38.
Today I got stuffed like a Christmas Turkey 43-17 and was NEVER in the game. My offence Gameplan is mostly random so appreciate that this may be a little to blame, but overall is this an ELO thing? I KEEP losing - today against an equal, but frequently against teams (with no dis-respect) I should be beating.

ELO never was and never will be involved in the simulation. ELO is a measure for statistics, not for making decisions at simulation time.

Then you will know ELO is a Livin' Thing and All Over The World.  |

Heh, heh!
I feel a little more DP than ELO - Smoke across the water "a fire in the sky". But I'll take your kind advice - a two fingered .......... dram of a nightcap to let my frustration fade away and sterilise my wounds.  |

A lot comes down to luck. I just beat a team 49-28 that I lost to a couple weeks ago 12-24. Same personnel, same play books. An unlucky turn over at the wrong time can be a 14 point swing. One yard can be the difference between 1st down and a punt. Really all you can do is prep your team each week to give them a shot at winning, then roll the dice.
