Asunto: Questions & Answers

i dont remember exactly but I believe it is based on the ranking of countries, then there are some changes to avoid 2 teams from the same country in the same group.

I'm sorry Vlady, but this doersn't make any sence, more then the last part about avoiding teams from the same country in the group.

This way the team ranked 61, 62, 63 and 64 (or 1, 2, 3 & 4)could end up in the same group (if they're just not from the same county).

I dont't even understand the meaning of this "country canking"... If I come from a high ranked country - I should meet someone from a county in the bottom and 1 or 2 teams from countries in the middle? Regardless what these team ranking is?

All other cup's is based on the ranking when you enter into the cup and then the way you present during the cup. Here you do not have any benefit from being ranked in the top.

I know you have some ranking based selection in the qualifing rounds - but why does this ends there?

I'm sorry to say, but this is not a good organized part from PPM.

I said I don't remember exactly. Maybe I'm wrong, but it has been the same system for many seasons now and this is the first time I hear any complaints about it.

well, maybe it have been good (lucky) outcome in the past, what do I know...

This season is as it is, but maybe it should be some action point for improvments for the future.
The 3rd and 4th ranked (direct qualified) shouldn't need to be sorted in the same group when it is 16 groups.

Maybe Ratings for the draw was taken here soccer.powerplaymanager.c...

No, looked it up.

They only go after the rating of the country,

Therefor the groups is very different in strength. It would be much better to make the groups after the link you linked.

But PPM have not noticed that yet, hope they change to next season instead of this system that works really bad

As illesnille mentioned, this is the list they should have used... Locked from day one of the season. Now its updated with OR and those who have played qualification rounds have climed in the list.

Wow illesnille, I didn't know that Sweden was that superior in ranking...

I would love to see the draw LIVE exactly the same way as the draw of the National Cup.

* Qualifying groups for the World Cup.
* Qualifying groups for Euro Cup.

* Playoff groups to the World Cup.
* Playoff groups to Euro Cup.

* groups in the Champions League.
* groups in the Cup Winners Cup.

Ought to be fairly easy to fix?

All the team's ranked!

Example for CL and CWC.

Pot 1 Teams
1-16
Pot 2 Teams
17-32
Pot 3 Teams
33-48
Pot 4 Teams
49-64

Same with the World Cup and euro Cup.

Every National team have a world rank.

This would make PPM even better and more like the real world.

let's say that I made a substitution for a goalkeeper, my first GK played in the first half and the other in the second half, and the match ended 0-0, would the clean sheet be awarded to my first or the second GK ? or both ? or none of them ?

None of them

thank you

No problem! , saw it on my own goalkeepers the last season.

I was asking about that because I have a great GK but my Substitute and reserve Goalkeepers has the same skills and I want the reserve to have more experience so I thought of making sometimes a substitution between the First and the Reserve GK but I guess I won't ruin my statistics

Make them play whole matches alternately

That's what I am going to do
