Today I have qualified for the Cup Final against one of my T11 friend's. I am level 7 and he is level 8. Now on the comparison page, the ratings given for our 2 teams are: Me..52.0, Him..49.3, so on that reading, I might have the slight edge. However, the average is taken on ALL the players in a squad, and my back-up players are stronger than his. I have calculated the player averages of just the probale starting 11's of our 2 clubs, and it produces a different outcome, (Me..54.82, Him..55.82). So it shows that his first team is better than mine, but overall, my SQUAD is the better.

So when people start saying, "Why did I lose", they should take into account that teams are not always what they seem on the comparison page.
I think Those complained lose over slight rating different were completely stupid and non-sense.

Even though your opponent is 10 quality lower than u, there is a chance to win over u. Thats football....

There is nothing to complain about.

If the opponent was using illegal formation with low quality and won over u, theb it makes sense to complain about.
