I could also cite 10Q inferior teams with 20% possession making chances (and the 1 truly troll result I've had was just that - a 1-0 loss with over 15 shots on target v a ST GK) but similarly there are 14-0 wins against teams with 20% possession that didn't get the red card boost either.

I believe you should give yourself as much advantage as possible, but its not a do X + Y = win. Its a simulation. And there are patterns, patterns everywhere.....

But if not watching works for you then that's good.
I wouldn't agree at all. Didn't watch this afternoons game and beat a better team 6-0 away!

Sorry but tactics can only make so much of a differance.

As I said I'm not angry and some people seem to be very sensitive to any sort of criticism of the game. It's just a bit of fun, but it's a shame there are so many random results and performances that are little to do with supposed quality players or possession.
