They have all played 10 - 25 games together, so its not that they dont have the team-feeling. For example, i beat the 2nd most talented team in the league, with 5-0 and 6-1. That team is in the Champions league finals right now, same cup where i was knocked out in QF, against a ****ty team he brutally crushed. In our league, where i beat him big, i have a problem winning against the bottom/worst team, and have lost, played equalizer and won with 1-0, EVEN if i had the same settings and players as against top teams.

4. Another observation similar like no 3: I have played friendly games against a team in my league, and tried different settings. Found the best, where i crushed him 7-0, and one day later when we met in the league i of course played that way. He had the same squad and players.
Result? 1-1. Unbelievable.

So sick game, it makes me wanna quit.
It is because you selected the wrong tactics for the particular match(es) that you lost, and probably the other deciding things were not on your side (random advantages, preparation, morale and other hidden effects).

If higher quality (only) guaranteed wins, then this game would be less appropriate as a football management game. It would also be too predictable and relatively much easy to play and win all competitions.

Friendly matches are different from competitive matches.
