Of course it is straightforward and easy to use, but I still I think it is a clumsy, almost pathetic attempt, of trying to add a "strategical/tactical" tool. Apparently we do not agree there.

I actually like the way that BB has solved it with game shape compared to HTs form, and I think they could do somethingin line with this in order to add some smarter enthusiasm system (enthusiasm is kind of "team spirit game shape") . Anyway, I think that's off topic...

I think almost nobody agrees with you here. I'm looking forward to your well thought idea in the suggestion forum already.

Having in mind that game shape is almost identical in structure and function to form, I am not quite what the superior part is.
I actually think that there are essential differences, even tough they are not big (HT: Just give them minutes, BB give them the right amount of minutes), and it could still be improved. Anyway, as I said I dont think this is the thread to debate this, so I wont go further into this.

However, for all practical purposes, having a player in respectable game shape (and this happens even if their minutes are well-managed) is like having a HT player in weak form.


This is an interesting point.

My immediate reaction is to agree but I wouldnt know how to prove it right.... how did you arrive at this conclusion...

sure - i agree...

as you say with all the random elements involved it is almost impossible to quantify but Proficient GS players win matches - full stop...

on the flip side I dont see much difference between a mediocre/respectable do you think the drop off in performance is less severe at the lower end of the scale?

I would agree with you that it seems to be linear, but data is very limited all guys that really matter are between repscatable and prominent in form all the time.

It looks to me that guys that constantly ship in between 48-90 minutes have an expectansy value of strong, and that the variation is low. My 48-90 minutes have almost always been evenly distributed between resp/strong/prof in GS with the exception from when I tested to train Game Shape, then the distribution was evenly between strong and prof if I remeber it correctly.
