Scout Match

Badge image
Can anyone genuinely tell me this is of any use!

I’ve been doing it all season and looking at the results I should be 12/15 points up in the season! However, every real game has went very much differently from the scout match. This leads me to believe it is a waste of time and if your mental 2 power tokens!

I’ve always felt there’s an enhancement of some kind from scout match to an actual match.

Something like in a scout match Experience is less important and than when you come to a league game it triggers this skill again and shows it’s importance.

Just using experience as an example but it’s as if different amplifiers are turned up and down for the different matches and competitions

Get what your saying. But makes it pointless! For one game I tested tactic and tweeked until I got a comfortable 3-0 win only to get get beat 3-0 in the game where the team played the exact same players/tactic.

I’m finding the game frustrating atm! My wife is sitting with more points and a worse team and played the same tactic week in week out. Yet my lads are not doing the business!

I think there's a handicap system, so on each league/cup you play your team might get a boost, no boost or a negative boost, think of this like +2, +1, 0, -1, -2. I play multiple friendly leagues against practically the same competitors and while on some I'm cruising on top, on others I'm mid-table and struggle to get good results.

So for example, if you play a team similar to yours but on that competition your team has a -2 and your opponent a +2, odds will be against you.

I think of the scout games as "no boost" neutral matches, they're good to test tactics & try to gain an advantage over your rival and choose a tactic that will give you the best chance of winning.

But why would your opponent get a 2 point boost whiles you get a no boost in the same game in the same competition?

The difference is the experience IMO. Experience is ignore in scouts.

My team performs better in scounts against older teams than in the league.
My team also performs worse in scounts against younger teams than in the league.

That along with form would make sense to me

You mean same opponent and both teams using the same tactics on the same competition?
