I have played 8 Champions League so far this season and on 7 occasions so far I have either drew or got beat in the other game I play on the same day, despite having a better team, a formation that counters the opposition and rotating my squad.

I started the Champions league campaign with a draw & a loss, I won both my league games convincingly.

Matchday 3 in the Champions League I managed to win both games that day for the only time.

Matchday 4, 5 & 6 I won in the Champions League, but lost 2 & drew the other league game. This was despite playing 2 very weak league teams. I lost one game I could perhaps understand a slip up in, but the scoreline was ridiculous, I lost 4-6 at home, up until this point I had only conceded 6 goals in total in the league. Yet my defence collapses, the average rating of that defence was 97 at level 15, playing 4 across the back with a level 96 at DMC.

The league games inbetween, when I only play one game, I was knocked out the cup in the first round, I win pretty convincingly.

The knockout rounds have started and its happened again. i've just been beaten at home to the team third from bottom of the league 3-2. Despite having a better team, a better squad, that was well rested and motivated and a formation that was certainly not inferior. I even had 12% possession advantange.

I have moved my games so there is at least 8 hours between matches where I can, but its pointless. I have gone from a perfect record in the league after 6 games to a record of 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses after 15 games and am now 5 points behind the leaders.

Any answers? Or do I just have to accept that the game makes no sense and its pointless playing it. I could accept I that I won't win both trophies in a season, but I know if I get to the Champions League Final I'll lose it on penalties like I have lost the last 4 finals I have been in.
