Reading this replay
- Official ASN tabletop replay using Soccer Blast by PLAAY Games and the existing ASN 1900 adaptation. Historical target scores, scorers and incidents were excluded from playing inputs.
- All January20 starting elevens are Estimated earlier-reference selections. Existing abilities and operational positions remain Derived/Estimated; historical calibration is unverified. Exact target-date participation and availability are not asserted.
- All starting observations remain in the match ledger. Uncertain identities are excluded from named career totals, scoring leaders and goalkeeper records; no surname-only identity merge is made.
- Existing period model: 90 minutes plus added time, no substitutions, period wording for cautions and dismissals. Restart, positional and disciplinary mechanics remain abstractions rather than a complete simulation of period laws.
- League wins earn two points and draws one, with the accepted goal-average convention. English season team standings include the preserved historical opening ledger; individual historical opening statistics remain partial. Inter-City records cover accepted ASN replays only and have no historical opening balance.
- Separate competitions retain separate records; Scottish Cup matches award no league points. Older results remain unchanged. An own goal is charged only to its defender and awards the opposing team a goal, with no attacking player goal.
- No later absence or suspension is inferred from a match injury or dismissal. Howard Harvey retains his single existing identity at Manchester City, with earlier Port Vale appearances preserved. No same-day Port Vale appearance is assigned.
- Venue was not independently verified in the submitted setup. Public records contain replay observations only; playing cards, numeric ability ratings, dice, seeds and private sessions stay private.
