I see Jack has anwsered them all, but an addition to the fatigue question. Like Jack said, your players are dead by game two, ive had to upgrade the condition/training module in the office of the game so now they have atleast a quarter fitness after every game. Anyway, i noticed the opposition was pretty dead aswell. Played one match and their strikers were making quite a lot of runs int he first half. Needless to say, by HT they were all knackered and with my defenders still having a little bit left it made the second half a bit more confortable.
I also noticed the home/away difference straight away. Although what i noticed was how my team was "up for it" at home and decidedly more timid away. This was pretty clear with at home my wingers, strikers making a lot of runs in to space and my midfielders making themselves availeble to passes, whereas away they played very much like the away side, taking a more "wait and see" approach and making less runs and generally being more causius(sp?). I havent noticed the ref's yet, at all, as the games have all been fair and the responses from the ref to tackles correct so far.
