I see it from 2 perspectives - look, the kid is good - main thing is composure. First few WL's, he wasn't, and easily frustrated by teams going up a goal then going either PTB or very low defensive settings. Makes it an absolute pain to watch too. Now, I've seen him go down 20% of the times, he easily comes back and wins. This past weekend again - a 15-win streak and another 16-win streak. Stupidly he continued playing when he should have taken a break & lost the last 3 of 4 games - could have been another 38-2 weekend.
So, for me the "continue to play" attitude - either out of frustration to get a win or "just wanna finish" - that's a difficult one. In the back of your mind you have this "20-games-a-day for 2 days" mentality that sets. This is for you guys & what I see on the dark side - easier this side as it's Friday 8PM start which means the kid can get 5, sometimes 8 games out the way.
How you battle that fatigue, is an important one.
Then, with me playing the 2nd account, I have an incredibly low expectation as the team has some quality, but it certainly lacks big name players. Not wanting to spend too much on fitness cards, also makes it a case of using 2 teams which is a massive liability. You just cannot get the consistency that others have that are using 1 team. And you're right Eric (also Simmo you commented a few days back) - you find yourself losing to people that are not good. Simple. But, either the noobish OP players, or the monstrously expensive teams give them that advantage. At times I'm wishing I can bring over a few of the big guns from the main account - would easily guarantee a 2/3 wins (in the opening 10).
Ah ... this reminds me of another aspect that you need to consider. I see a lot of people saying that they are 9-1 and then find themselves at 10-10. How could that be??? Remember this is bound to happen - you pretty much going to play better people, the better your record is. Not better skill-wise, but better at winning! Frustrates me that you get to play these players that abuse the game in some way, scoring headers with Sterling & Giovinco ...
