GAC system maybe ?

No

Why is any single metric applied by a matching algorithm any fairer than another?
The current system is much fairer in that there is no matching algorithm- it’s all down to how many points you’ve won or lost. So the players match themselves in effect. Your destiny is in your own paws, Sport.

(Except the squish adjustments each season which are a pain and a bit pointless)

System is not fair, not even close to being fair. You cant match a 2 m account with 7 m account and call it fair. Maybe it would be fair for top %10/15 of players but its absolute hellhole in lower brackets. Coin flip is boring.

It may not be fair but it absolutely has a point.

While I understand going up against a big GP is frustrating, you have a better chance than you realize.

1. A 7 million GP player can still only use one squad where you would use one squad on defense. He can’t squeeze all 7 million GP into any squad.
2. On offense a 7 million GP player does have a slight advantage of being able to throw more squads. But if you single clear a squad, you get more points than someone who uses three squads. Make the best attacks you can.
3. Last but not least, I assume the “coin flip” is whether or not they show up. While it may seem like a 50/50 chance, a 7 million GP player doesn’t drop to a point where they are facing a 2 million GP player by showing up for one out of two matches. Your odds are much higher that they can’t/won’t show up, or they would have moved back up already.

This is much better than the old system that encouraged min-maxing your GP. If your account unlocked the wrong toons because you didn’t know better, you lost in the old system. So in my opinion, this system is much more “fair.”

Think about it, a great team could have bad strategy, but the worst NFL team would never lose the the best college team. It’s just like that.

I don't agree at all. A college team doesn't have access to the same pool of players as a professional team.

We see how these big GP mismatches play out. There's a reason why the 2 teams are matched, if it's because of form.........then they tend to be ding dong matches.

The OP seems to enjoy opening up one liner topics, where there are existing topics!

The bigger question is why an NFL team is playing against a college team in the first place. NFL team that bad? College team that good? Sounds like it could be a fair match-up.

Dude he literally has 3 GL against my Half a CLS, he might have to fit in same amount of teams and cant drop 7 m on me, thats right, but it doesnt matter when i have to use G10 Phoenix on defence when he can just use full R7 squads on everywhere. :disappointed:

Well GP match making (or lack of) isn't the issue here then. It's inactivity. There's no way this match up should or would take place (if as portrayed) with equal activity.

My problem is not GP based matchmaking system, my problem is lack of matchmaking. It would just take few codes to create an algorthm to detecr İnactives/semiactives. You just set a number, lets say if they have 0 banners for 3/4 matches in last 10 match they get labeled as semi active and if 7+ they would get labeled as inactives and the ones they have label gets matched against eachother. So, you wouldnt let a gargantuan account match a sub 2 m account just because they dont play half of the time. That just sucks out of the fun REGARDLESS you win or lose.
