jaberke Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 This is just a random musing, so I apologize for anyone who thought this post would have any real value. Is it just me or is it all too common that the team you are scheduled to play in a cup game is also the same team you will play in a league match just before or just after said cup match? In several leagues and in several versions of FM (2010 and prior), I've noticed that I end up playing the same team two matches in a row. For example, if I'm going to the X Cup 2nd Round, the team I play will be the same team I play in the league just before or just after the cup game. I have no idea why this happens and no statistical analysis to support this. Additionally, it's not a complaint, just something I've seen over and over. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Ty Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I tend to notice I will get West Ham in the Cup, and then the next game in the PL is against West Ham also.. (West Ham was the first team I thought of as an example! I am not saying I got West Ham). So yeah, I often notice this a lot to be honest. Is this some freaky coincedence?

samb_95 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 no, because you don't always get a team in your league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Haven't really noticed this but I think it might have come up in a couple of my games. Also find that I always seem to get drawn away in cup games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojby Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have this all the time - every season playing as Liverpool, 9 times out of 10 I will get a team in my league and a team I will play in a league match either the game before or after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jld123 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I bet you only notice it because it's something different. You'll have 100 cup draws and think nothing of it, but the one time this happens you notice it and it sticks out in your mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan_sacfc Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yes, I have noticed this, a lot. But I think jld123's post could be spot on, the more I think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojby Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Ok - got through to league cup quarter final - drew Man City and low and behold who do i play the the league immediatly before the quarter final - you guessed it Man City! Tow out of three rounds now this has happened - I will post an update if I get to the semi's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebodyfoolish Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Happened to me recently. First played in the French League Cup against Stade de Reims and won, then played against them just afterwards and won, then latrer in the season I played against Evian Thonon-Gaillard FC in the Championnat and game ended in a draw, and faced them in the cup then just after it, losing 3-5. But I ended up also playing against Stade de Reims before that defeat, in the previous round of the Cup, and (naturally) no game against them then in Championnat, as it was still autumn part of the season.

DavidG589 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Happens to me all the time. I just put it down to coincidence - when it doesn't happen I don't notice it which probably highlights the times when it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
