@argyle_analyst You could argue that a month ago Tolaj was unproven at League One level, and after a series of expensive transfers that didn’t work out, the club were initially hesitant to trigger the release clause, and the performances against Cardiff and Stevenage have inspired confidence.

@gatorguy231 Winning cards isn’t much better.

DNP GK for finishing 9th in the EPL comp…

I wish I could say it was a one off but, well, it’s not.

Plymouth Argyle....

[ProfessorTekkers @Prof_Tekkers]

Tanaka given Error Leading to Goal just before Halftime, when Luton’s only goal was scored in the 15th minute.

Classic Opta. 🙄

You spend hours planning ahead, developing a home/away weighted xG table, identify targets, patiently wait to secure them at a reasonable price then the weather threatens to ruin it all.

Oh well, the show must go on. Up the Storm Chasers.

Did anyone ever setup SorareWeather? Not loving having to play Meteorologist again this week to avoid DNPs and inevitable relegation.

Cue 'It's part of the game' comments...

[ProfessorTekkers @Prof_Tekkers]

After weeks of trying, I finally hit the first streak.

Might have overshot it a little.

@SorarePidel Opta was not kind to me. They took 15 points from Awaziem.

Going to be a nervous wait on the review for both of us! GL.

@FfcStone29 I also don’t want to spend time having to check every single lineup throughout the weekend. Hence the suggestion of subs limited to collections.

[ProfessorTekkers @Prof_Tekkers]

Seen a lot of chat about subs/DNPs recently.

There's strong feelings on either side of the debate, however, from a business perspective it presents a risk of customer churn.

There's only so many times you can take an unavoidable DNP before becoming disengaged with the game.

[ProfessorTekkers @Prof_Tekkers]

In my opinion the positives of this approach outweigh the negatives.

Where do you stand on the debate? Is this a problem to be solved by Sorare? Do you have any alternative solutions?

[ProfessorTekkers @Prof_Tekkers]

This solution softens the blow of an unavoidable DNP, without increasing the time commitments for managers.

It avoids the system being gamed with people waiting for matchups and switching in players to lineups with more chance of winning, and rewards managers for collecting.
