Replay of the live 90 Minute Fever October World Cup coverage with Steve and Kon as your hosts.

Match Engine Changes:

• Fixes and some additions to the Match Commentary
  
• KO Round matches in Cups, now played at Neutral venues (i.e. no home team advantage for these fixtures anymore)

Other Changes and Fixes:

• Youth Fixtures (U21 and U18) are now scheduled to start from the 2nd day of the season
  
• Patreon Status now no longer qualifies users for Legends Cup Automatically (Pro Memberships replace this
  
• Starting from November 2018 season, clubs are now removed from the game after 1 full seasons/calendar month of inactivity UNLESS they have a Pro Membership in which case their club will always remain so long as they have one. If a user fails to login at least once during the season their club will be removed from the game at the end of that season. In which case if they later return, they'll have a new club created to start a fresh new journey.

Upcoming Shareholder Dividends Changes

https://steamcommunity.com/app/468070/discussions/1/1728711392736411140/

Match Engine Changes:

• Changes to the player rating /10 system (players will receive extremely high and extremely low ratings less frequently)
  
• Fixes and some additions to the Match Commentary
  
• Minor balancing changes including:
  
• Less straight Red cards being issued; and
  
• Less penalties awarded; and
  
• Less goals disallowed

Other Changes and Bug Fixes:

• TV Rights now earned after requesting matches for blocks of 5 minutes rather than blocks of 15 minutes
  
• Players who are retiring at the end of the current season cannot be purchased from the pool
  
• Ethnic group name subtype information now has an influence over the First and Last names given to newly created players (note: it only provides an increased chance that these will align, not guarantee it. Note: for many Nationalities we don't have or have very limited Ethnic group subtype information at present). If you would like to assist with contributing to improve the data we have please see the 'Want to Help?' Steam Discussions pinned post
  
• Some updates to the player names database
  
• PFA is now an active FA
  
• Rather than the auto-sign player (when you don't have enough players to field a team for a match) signing the best free player available according to the number of total attribute points, it now signs a random free player instead
  
• Fixed an extremely rare bug with the pre-match autoselect that could cause a match to fail if a user has a senior official match, and has enough players to field a team for that match, but if that user doesn't have enough players to field a team if you exclude goal keepers not currently included in the users senior squad
