What Is Going On With This Game?

From my experience, bizarre results like some of those posted in this thread are normal, early during the league campaign. Over the course of the season, they tend to balance themselves out.

While we like to think our tactics solely determine the results of matches, many managers I think seem to forget this game is a business. Nordeus exists to make money so stuff like topping off morale, condition, etc... may be as/more important in determining a matches outcome, than whatever tactic one chooses or what a teams quality is. Now being the conspiracy theorist I am, I think trolls are more likely early in the league campaign, since nordeus wants managers to feel the need to upgrade their roster by means of buying tokens.

From personal experience, troll results haven't occurred in dehabiliating situations. Trolls have occurred in situations such as losing a league game against #2 when I'm 3+ points clear. I'll drop points in CL group stages when maxing all bonuses, having higher Q and playing what I believe to be the best counter to a team in desperate need of points, when I have a chance to clinch on matchday 4. However, when I do these things in the Knockout rounds or key late-season league fixtures, these things haven't been happening nearly as often.

Ok, but have a look at the second post in this thread. How can they do (if it was intentional) such a thing or allow (if it is a bug) such a situation to occur? This is annoying; I was even depressed.
