A quick update on Match Engine V2 - the full picture lands next Sunday in the monthly newsletter, but here's where things stand right now.

What's already working (not live yet): your decisions count for more, home advantage behaves properly, the pre-match predictions are landing in the low 90s for accuracy, and turn processing is dramatically faster behind the scenes - what used to take 3-5 minutes now takes around 5 seconds for the optimised sections.

The active problem: goals per match are running low - around 1.2 when it should be 1.8-2.4. The cause has been identified. The engine was treating defensive headcount as defensive strength, which structurally favoured the back line by about 1.5x. A fix went in this week - it now judges contests on per-player quality, not numbers. About to A/B test it.

Still to go: player-level moments (halfway through), commentary variety, smarter injury substitutions, and per-zone stats exposed properly. When all of that's done and there are no regressions against V1, it goes live.

More detail next Sunday.

Four goals, one man, one afternoon - Gerblansky of South Park Cows was unstoppable against Special Criminals in Week 16, and suddenly the Division 1 title race has three clubs within a single point of each other. West London Blue and Mighty Greens are level on 35, Kevin Haney's South Park Cows lurking just behind on 34.

In Division 2, Alveley Wolves and Frenchy's Dons are equally inseparable at the top.

Richmond march on in Division 3, now 13 clear.

Week 22 in the European Elites and Division 4's promotion race just got a whole lot more interesting. Borussia Dortmund were beaten at home by Nottingham Forest while Cardiff City put two past Ajax - which means Nonno Coia's Cardiff now lead by a single point, with Leeds and Newcastle both breathing down their necks on 38. Four clubs. Three points separating them. Eight games left.

Meanwhile in Division 2, Ron Fluff's Sheffield United produced the result of the week, putting three past Manchester United without reply - a result that leaves David Hopkins' side staring at an increasingly uncomfortable situation at the bottom.

Week 5 in League 4's Legend of La Rochelle and the result nobody saw coming: Accrington Stanley beat Luton Town 1-0 at Crown Ground, Vieri scoring in the second minute to end the Group 4 leaders' unbeaten run. Rob Earle's side are the quiet story of the season, and that win put them firmly in the conversation.

In Group 1, Manchester City and Cork City stay joint top on 13 points - Wayne Mullins' side edging Wolves thanks to another Larsson goal.

Group 3 is shaping up into a fascinating two-way race with Port Vale and Heart of Midlothian level on 11 points.

Week 5 in the PBM Old Boys League and the Division 1 title race has been blown wide open.

Port Vale travelled to Ibrox and came away with a 1-0 win - Ronaldo settling it on 27 minutes - leaving Rangers, Plymouth Argyle and Port Vale all level on nine points at the top. Del Sharratt's side had been quietly building all season and this was the result that announced them properly.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are pulling clear in Division 4 on thirteen points after beating Sheffield United 2-0, Hull City's Gomis hit a hat-trick against Exeter, and Tranmere Rovers finally got off the mark with a dramatic 2-1 win over Millwall - Barnes scoring the winner in the 93rd minute.

The League Cup Round 2 was equally eventful - five of the eight ties went to extra time or penalties. The Last 16 is set for Week 8.

Fitness and injury management is one of those things that doesn't feel urgent - right up until your best striker is out for six weeks and you're fielding whoever's left standing. 🏥

Hint Sheet #6 is now live in the Manager's Playbook. It covers the Injury Factor, what the OUT counter actually means, how your training load affects INJ values week by week, and why your Physiotherapist is worth every credit. There's also a practical squad depth section, because depth isn't just a nice-to-have when the injury list starts stacking up.

If you've ever had a rough patch mid-season and wondered why your squad looked shot, this one's for you.
