Understanding role of Luck in top eleven

[Lucian1986]

Khris, it isn't just about differences in quality!

It is about the fact that sometimes, you can very clearly tell that your team is playing at half strength. Whereas your team performed solidly all season, suddenly, against a relatively weak team, your team can't seem to make more than 2 passes without losing the ball while your GK's rating falls to 5 after 10 min or you get 3 goals scored against you in 10 min. Few people are coming on here and complaining that in a tough fought battle, the opponent got lucky on a counter and scored the goal of the game. They are complaining because they either dominate the opponent and still lose or their team fell apart against a team that should have been a minor inconvenience.

Also, getting from 85% to 110% isn't easy. It requires a lot of work. When you see your team lose sporadically to much weaker teams and abandoned teams outperform, it doesn't feel like skills are involved.

Ohh yeah, it is a differance of margins and beatability margin of avq, too the scores cap that contain the scores for the better team is the reason why people find the simulator actually annoying. People had the chance to train till a distance and knew that the win was guaranteed with effort, not a -60% in 14th position can draw vs you, when time ago we could easily win abandones low avq teams 14-0.

Theres a significant differance...
