Do the fixtures not balance out in the end otherwise, it should be a straight home and away round robin if set up that way. Was this created with the competition creation tools?
Well, I started with the default competition that's already set up. I didn't look through all the fixtures but the 1st round of fixtures had already been simulated, including my own team's!
So, I then created my own by using the creator, but now every fixture takes place in Jan and Feb. I set it to 2 pts for a win and 1 for a draw. And I didn't make it round robin.
Edit: I've now gone back to the default competition and this time it didn't simulate my fixture and only 1 team (rather than 5) had Byes. I'm torn between doing this - which seems to follow the real life fixtures but has actual series - or setting up my own, where everyone plays everyone but it's condensed into 2 months and it's only 1 match per series.
