Mythbusters of top eleven

Some patterns about possible fixed leagues is that I had a lot of leagues where I will face the numbers 2,3, 4 and 5 in the last 5 games of the league. Mostly the number 2 in the forelast game.

I had a season where I had a very bad start with loosing 4 out of 5 games againsp 5 ratings. In the end the second half of the season were 12 wins and 1 tie and I won the league anyway.

I do have the feeling there are some fixed results. I have made subs for players that were dropping in ratings like mad. Made the sub and had to wait 12 minutes and still no sub but then the player got a straight red and was out of the game before the sub. A few days back I had a defender who was also dropping in ratings so I swtiched him out. The new player went from 6,5 to 5,1 in 3 minutes and got his first yellow. 5 minutes later he is at 4,5 and he gets the second yellow. So two yellows in 8 minutes.

The leagues have always been set up like that as far as I can remember.
The game 'chooses' the highest ranked teams and sets the fixture list so they will play toward the end of the season.
Makes for a more exciting league if it works out.

I know I've read it somewhere but powertraining definately effects performance.
I powertrained a lot of players but it seems to be correlated to the amount of greens used.
The last time I trained a striker in my 2nd team G. Arnold. Used approx 100-130 greens on him to train him up to 102% from 79% or so.
First 2 matches he got injured and received a red card. And our team got an unusual beat 1-5 against a 30% weaker opp the 1st match. 3rd was ok.
Perhaps there is an optimum for training combined with matches played on one day as well.
Could explain why 2nd matches on the same day are more difficult to win (with same squad, aprox same opp).
