Team Performance Affected By Certain Constructions

Its probably a coincidence.

The other aspect of this equation is, since your team is a token buyer team you've got a target on your back. Other active managers will recognize your high quality team and this may increase the likelihood of them maxing their win bonus, player morale and/or player condition for this match, compared to other matches against lesser quality teams.

Well said!
I know it's something I do if I come up against a token buyer. I pull out all the bells and whistles to get a win over them.
Another thing to note is that there is no 'right' way to dominate this game unless you literally spend thousands which is just stupid.
There are so many factors at play, and you can talk to some of the managers that have been playing for 2-3 years and they'll tell you they're still learning a lot of things. In other words, you will go through good and bad patches. Just sounds like an unlucky coincidence to me, unfortunately!

p.s If Nik is saying he hasn't come across it...then it probably isn't a thing
