Yeah that's so far the best tactic I've now seen in two seasons already. Just go for consistency. Every season it's the slam points that cost me. You can risk going out on a limb for 3 points when no one else has it, but then people who get 1 point a lot make up for it in slam points. That's a lot of free points for little risk.
That is why I picked high scores for some if not all the matches of the teams first games because they are going to start strong then usually slow it down so to keep their stride up during the rest of the season.
Atleast this is what I was hoping would happen.
On the other hand, tired teams also mean they leak a lot of goals, so it's really depending now on which players get tired first... teams like Liverpool will be really finding it hard to score when tired, teams like Arsenal will leak goals when tired. But football is round yeah? One way or other, fatigue will affect this season a lot. Just worried for my team's squad depth.
