Mythbusters of top eleven

[Elia FC]

I would be interested to understand how much the ball possession might affect the match result in case of opponent of the same level...I mean I have lost matches with more that 70% of ball possesions (due a big amount of friend and manager on the bench) against opponent of my level...

I think it is right that the attendance of friends should not affect highly the match result...but indeed it is not correct to reflect the friend attendance in a bonus in ball possesion...maybe it could be better to affect (even with an hidden parameter) the average team morale

Distribution of skill points matter?

well, let's talk first about the skills. Individuals skill of a player is just for the simulation of the game.
In Attack for example, the skills are Passing, Dribbling, Crossing, Shooting, Finishing.
But every manager of the game had a player with great success as a corner specialist, who had crossing skill less than dribbling
or had a successful free-kick specialist with Finishing/Shooting skill less than crossing.
A +-1 sp cannot give something special in a player.
Also, if it had some logic, we can see that scout list players who have those special abilities, they don't have those relative skills higher than the others.
In general, TE it's a simple program or else we could sign individually the sp to player and personalize him (as roll playing games).
Meaning give him 10 sp to crossing, make him a super corner specialist but a bad shooter or dribbler.
Of course then, it would be a different game, like the FIFA Manager pc edition (and I don't want that).
