What's wrong with my team???

[Tactician]

hello, im now managing a level 8 team and my team are consists of these:
• ★5 → 20 players.
• ★4 →** 3 players.
• ★3 →** 1 GK (the other GK is ★5).
• every player has 2-3 role positions (2 GKs in exception).
• the ages are mostly older than 30.
• the heights are mostly lower than 180
• my team quality is ★55.4;
• full attendance stadium.
• i never buy tokens for those players.

by that condition, i can surely play any formations or counter formations like 451V/Flat, 352V/Flat, 442C/ND/WD, 433N/W, 32W3N2 etc, then wish my team can win as always..

but these are why i'm wondering :

• most of matches we've played, the results are always unexpected. (seriously??? 1-0 win against low quality team)..

• draw or lost, even when my opponent is ★4 average with 2 or 3 ★5 players on the line up. its clearly lower than my team..

• i've always set the formations, orders and arrows correctly, based on tips i read/learn before the match..

• boost and max the team morales to [↑] not [→]. and, watch every live match..

my team sucks, i can confidently say its the worst team, wasting team ever, too many stars. if any of you got some ideas, please leave your comments..

It is probably not due to your players. It is from the program itself. I called it as 'players being blocked from performing as they should'. You will feel as if the players don't want to play, don't want to score or act like players 3-4 stars below their displayed quality. There could be something regulating the percentage efficiency of the players, where sometimes, for whatever reason(s), the percentage efficiency of many of the players in one team is set to a significantly lower value. Another thing that I have noticed in this game is the injection of poor form to many players of a team so that this team has a significant disadvantage for whatever reasons. This effect may last for quit a while. Many things appear to be 'constructed' in this game so that it follows whatever has been decided by the program.
During such 'bad' periods, there is nothing much you can do. You can try to grind out narrow wins, draws and avoid big defeats by selecting appropriate tactics. The only way to override such bad effects is to have a team that is way too superior in quality than the opponent, for example having an 8-9 star team for playing against a 4-5 star team, where all the disadvantages set to your side will be not enough to cause your team to lose or draw. But, I don't recommend doing it; this game is not worth putting so much time, effort and money.
