Irrelevant Nick KP 0 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Could there come a time when the FA, or FIFA, think about putting goal difference as the first thing we look at, and then, after goal difference, points? First reaction will be to laugh the suggestion out of town, but... ...consider this... Recently, it has become popular to field weakened teams in uneven matches. Managers think to themselves, we'll definitely win the next match, so we'll play a second-string team, or, alternatively we'll definitely lose the next match, so we'll field a weakened team. If goal difference was the first consideration, Wolves would go to Old Trafford thinking "If we play very well today, we could get a very good result" (i.e. a one-goal defeat, for example) Nowadays, the difference between top and bottom is astronomical, far far bigger than it was for most of the 20th century. That is why more and more managers are fielding weakened teams in the most uneven matches. Under the goal difference system, every match would be exciting, because no matter who you played against, every minute of the match would be important. Remember, the poll isn't about yes or no to goal-difference-first. (GDF). This poll is about yes or no to the contemplation of GDF.
