Season 78 - Are you ready?

[Tactician]

What a devastating season. Led at the top of the table all season only to lose it to someone I previously beat 6-1 using the same tactics? Ridiculous.

The cups were a joke aswell. Too many coincidences this season.

If it is the case, then it's ridiculous indeed. This makes you think how much randomness or other '****' is involved in deciding the outcomes of certain matches. Other users won't see it like this until they become victims of such '****' too. And when I spoke of things repeating themselves too similarly, some fail to see it. They keep on finding ways to justify what happened despite that it is clear in many cases there was something fishy. Some even brought things that happened to say once a decade or two in real life to compare with something that happens 1-4 times every season or two in this game. Just keep a record of everything. You will probably see the same things repeating later on. You might even see similarities in match statistics and so on. Some things have been occurring so similarly that it can't be even due to randomness or randomness alone. There has to be something else that is significantly involved. I'm sure many such things are programmed to occur in this game; if it is not, then there is a flaw or a failure somewhere. And remember that you said something about tactics too where you thought they are not working any more this season. I have had similar feelings in the past too. This was back in 2015. It is probably not about the tactics, it is about the game deciding that you will not win or get the desired result for whatever other reasons. So, even if you had used other tactics for those cases, you will most probably still have had bad results. There is something else I have been suspecting a lot: at the beginning of each season, there is something that already gives certain teams significant advantages and other teams disadvantages. In other words, some things has already been fixed at the start of the season. I have observed trends that indicates the possibility of such things being there. So, an experienced observer, with an open mind, can already deduce how his team will perform in that particular season, irrespective of it's quality and the quality of the opponents. Just keep a record of everything that you can for this season. When it will repeat itself later on, you just have to compare and make deductions yourself.

I suppose i just got too used to winning so when I actually lose things don't seem right. Or maybe I'm being punished for winning 2 trebles?
Matches last season, I dominated, this season stats seem 50/50 yet none of my shots always go in. My defence have gone from 7s and 8s to 5s and 6s so it doesn't make a lot of sense.

It's just annoying how I can lose on the final day against a team I beat previously 6-1 costing me 1st place which I sat the whole season.
Next season will be different and I'll put a bit more effort into winning a treble.

I have added some other things in my reply to your post. Have a look.

For sure, in some cases there is something fishy. There are a lot of possible explanations to why such and such has happened, but only the people who were involved in the programming in this game know what they have put in there. Also, some things might have happened be due to a flaw or a fault. But, after having made a lot of observations, some deductions can be made.

Like I have said, there might be something that already gives hidden significant advantages and disadvantages to teams at the start of the season itself, hence affecting the performance of your team for the season as a whole. Then, there might be something else that gives hidden significant advantages or disadvantages to teams when it comes to individual matches or rounds. Just keep a good 'save' of everything. When similar things will happen to you later on, you just have to compare. You might even see similarities in the match statistics for the anomalous cases. The same applies for injuries and so on. If there are way to similarities and trends, then for sure this has been programmed to occur as such, and also it can't be due randomness only.

I have noticed a lot of fishy things, similarities and trends in this game. But, some people don't seem to agree with me, and they try to justify things based on other things that can't be used to compare with them.

So, I will let you and other users make their own deductions after having gone through such things repeatedly.
