Wowza!
I just took a look at my match statistics and the numbers there proved me right about my feelings of how unlucky I've been lately.
It isn't said that these numbers alone tell the whole tale, but for me it sums it up quite nicely...or should I say 'quite horribly'?

10 last games in a row:
Wins 1, Ties 3, Defeats 6. TD: 4 for / 18 against. CAS: 15 for / 30 against.
Don't know how many of those casualties (for/against either side) were RIP's, but I recall getting really familiar with the term 'niggling injury' :)
And I've been playing both stunty and "normal" teams, so that high CAS-rate is not ONLY because of low AV.

When the CAS-rate (against) is that high, it affects atleast MY playing so drastically that making TD's is almost impossible. It requires a different style of playing and THAT hasn't opened up to me...yet ;)
And when those nigglers seem to keep finding their way to my team rosters...well, things keep getting more difficult...
