How many leagues are there where everyone is exactly the same skill?

You will see as you progress to higher levels that whether you buy tokens or build a team on a budget, it makes little difference because the game engine is that unpredictable. A player can get a 9 rating one game, a 6 the next with no consistency. Once there would be 5 or 6 teams challenging for honours but now so many games are nullified to draws because managerial prowess counts for little. The game decides who will win and tactics make only a small difference. In fact it has been noted by many that the result is often worked out as early as the 75th minute. I will happily pit my managing skills against anyone & you're right that a win is so much nicer but it's also nice to have a few games where you give younger or lesser used players a run out rather than worrying that a wrong substitution will cost you dearly as it has me so many times. Perhaps it is strange logic to some but that's how I roll. Each to their own as they say. Thanks for the debate. You made a good point.

It has been said in another thread that the result is predetermined 3 minutes before the game starts, which would be even sadder. If that is true, then your point about evenly matched league making results random is well made.

As far as a player going from 9 to 6, this is an everyday occurrence for me and I don't blame the game for it, but I have not figured out whom yet. I still don't know
a) how past ratings predicts performance in the next game
b) whether the rating affects the outcome of the game or other way around

Until I understand this better, I cannot get angrier or more concerned about inconsistent ratings than I am, which is not a lot.
