Sweet mother of God, this is so f'ing annoying. In the last few weeks I have had heaps of trouble with managerless teams. Not even unwatched teams but straight up bots who had no honours the previous season and have a roster full of 30+ year old players. I watch 90% of my games and am mindful of my tactics even against obvious bots. For the last year I managed to eek out a result even when the Nordeus algorithm predetermined i would have a crap day. Now, I can lose 2-1 against a team 25% less than me thats in a poor formation. My ratings are still in the 6's and 7s with 70% possession and he will win. 2 shots on goal, 2 goals. Happens ever so often, I get it but when i'm dreading playing against digital flotsam something is definitely wrong.

For the record I maintain my team with at least 8% bonus, full win bonus at over the course of a season 105% - 125% quality.


Glad to hear im not the only one here with this problem.
