    I'm not sure I'd agree although there is controversy in some matches that may look like that.

    I did have a season where i went unbeaten for half the season having a massive gap between me and 2nd place until I started losing so many games I finished 3rd on the last day 2 points away from winning the league. That was a very weird 13 games.

    I won so much the last 3 months I got bored and started to pay less attention to my team then suddenly I started losing games. 4 games doesn't seem like a lot but I had similar opponents, if not twice as strong in terms of quality but I only drew 1 and lost 0 so to me, 4 losses in 1 week is a little fishy. I dropped my 2 CBs for my older 2 that I went unbeaten with despite less quality and almost reversed a 2-5 semi final and won 4-1. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to go through on goal difference.

    Maybe Nordeous thought 'this dude has won 2 trebles in a row and he hasn't spent a penny. Let's ruin his season' hahaha xD

    This is probably one of the business strategies: the game encourages you by making your 'life' easier in 1-2 seasons. In those seasons, things will go smoothly; you might beat much better quality teams if you used the appropriate counter formations. If you are a serious user, you will likely win most competitions unless you face other users that have the same temporary advantages given to you.There will be likely no 'troll results' when your team face teams inferior in quality and/or tactics. But, then, that is in the following 1-2 seasons, things will turn sour. This is where the other part of the programming takes effect. You will start to have strange results. You might have a lot of injuries in the same period or in other periods, but it will be more likely be in that same season. There could also be tactical or other football explanations for some of your losses, but for others there won't likely be any in terms of football.

    These cycles will repeat. Based on observations, a new team or a recently activated team will be at the start of the cycle, where there will be a lot of things in the user's favour. Or, it might also start after a team has failed promotion, especially a team that had mostly losses in the previous season, that is after a team has gone through a long period of bad results, for instance in the case of 'tanking'. The next season after having failed promotion, things will more likely be smooth again. You might even go unbeaten and concede as low as no goals in that particular season in the Cup too.

    Briefly, this game contains a lot of business strategies or ploys. A lot of things have been programmed to happen in this game, based mostly on the business point of view.

    I have also noticed some effects after I have bought tokens (49-100T), and to your surprise, most have been negative effects. This might be a coincidence, but it has happened on enough occasions to say that the possibility of something being related to token purchases to be there. For those users who don't purchase tokens regularly, that is in every season or two, it seems that their situations are different - most likely better situations. You would have expected the reverse to occur, but this is what I have observed. One possible reason: the user who has bought tokens will more likely buy more tokens in the future as compared to a user that has not bought any tokens since a lot of seasons; so things are made to happen to 'force' or tempt that particular user to buy more tokens. In other words, the game has been programmed to target certain type of users, which explain why some users have not experienced bad things to such an extent as others.

    It is very unlikely that there are things like that:'Nordeous thought 'this dude has won 2 trebles in a row and he hasn't spent a penny. Let's ruin his season''. Why? Because this requires manual interference. It is more likely that there are things that have been programmed (that is, it its already there in the game) to happen at some point, and for it to happen certain specific criteria must be satisfied.


    P.S: Other users agree or not, what I have said has been based on several observations.
