Vangelis21 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I am managing Hull in EPL and i just saw something very strange... The majority of the teams have played 18 or 20 games, some teams have played 19 games and Chelsea has played only 15 games !!! Now i need to ask british people. Is this possible in real life? In Greece for example we ALWAYS have the same games. At most 1 game difference in rare occasions. and i know that it has to do with extra games they may have to compete in. But is a 5 games difference logical there in real life? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eles Gergo Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Seen it happen (in the game) might be some really busy schedule, league cup, fa cup, champions league, international games, postponed games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Race 9 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 it could happen............a team could take part in european super cup early in season;) take part in fifa world club have a cancelled game as well .........but would be unusual to be so far behindl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 One of the Conference teams (I think it was Barrow due to cup runs and weather postponements) had seven games in hand over a couple of teams this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinaldo Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 http://www.htucfl.com/Divisions/index?div=4909&age=22 My local team, St. Neots, are 2nd but 1st place has 4 games in hand. If you look at St. Ives town, in 10th, and Stewart and Lloyds Corby, 13th, there is a 6 game difference! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is a 5 games difference logical there in real life? thanks IIRC when I made the Euro Cup whilst I was playing in the Championship, I ended up being 8 games behind some of the other teams in the league because of matches being moved due to clashing.

CooCooKaJoo Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 are you using the superbladesman database, as it seems top prem teams get entered into non league cups that reschedule the premier fixtures with my game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Was there a team involved in the Club World Cup? I remember this put Man Utd back a few games when they played in it during 2008. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 yes of course. My initial question wasn't "Why does this happen" but "how can it be allowed instead of fixed" ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Does anyone know of a site that has historical league tables? It would be interesting to see how many games the CWC put Man Utd back in 2008/9. As for messed up real life tables, does this win? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
