As I am sure you are all sick of facing 442N each round and as indicated a couple of weeks ago unmanaged teams will from the next round use a variety of tactics. Each un-managed team will have a pseudo-manager who will have a preferred Formation and Tactic (as listed below). However to keep it a little less simple each week they will choose a formation and tactic at random, their preferred formations and preferred tactic have a much higher chance of selection though. (I will use their preferences and the random function in MS Excel to send a list to DD before each round).
For example Leicester's preference is 343 S. This means there is about a 1 in 3 chance they will choose 3-4-3 formation and a roughly 1 in 3 chance they will choose S tactic (and about 1 in 10 that it will be 343S).
After each game a team's chance of choosing a Formation/Tactic combination will increase if it wins for them and decrease if it loses. So continuing the example if Leicester does choose 34S and wins the chance becomes slightly greater it will be chosen in the next game. Hopefully over time a team's choices will remain random but be biased towards what works for that team.
There are eight possible formations than can be chosen 541, 532, 523, 451, 442, 433, 352, and 343. I have chosen each team's preference based on rosters and the desire to have reaonable mix.
Each team's starting preferences are:
der 442 N
lei 343 S
liv 442 N
mau 442 P
por 451 E
swn 442 S
