A subject to think about

But it is non-appropriate if there is too much randomness involved (which is likely to be the case in Top Eleven). This is probably why there are so many complaints about strange results, non-acceptable results or 'troll' results in this game; such results (let's called them surprise results) have occurred more than they should. Like I have said, if two teams of equal quality are made to play against each other for say 10 times, where all the other factors that can be controlled by the manager are kept constant (tactics, condition, morale and so on), the team using the superior tactics must have the majority of the wins (not 50-50 or so like it seems to be in this game). Randomness can be used to try and simulate the outcomes like they might happen in real life, but when too much randomness is involved, the outcomes deviate from what is expected in real life, that is there are too many surprises or anomalies. So, briefly, the probable problem in this game is that randomness has been given too much significance for deciding match results.

I don't rule out existence of troll or surprise results. Just want to remind some complaining managers that we may not access all factors which affect match results.

I have not studied the cases of recent troll results. Do some managers report surprise positive results? Do complaining managers encounter both positive and negative surprise results? Do some managers report that after a series of negative surprise results, they encounter some positive surprise results?

Edit:
One of my teams have roller coaster like up & down in last 2 seasons. These may not be those surprise results as you mentioned but these could be shared for your information.

In last season, this team opened the season with 6 losses in a row. I did not think my team badly played in this period and should have won some of these matches. The team still struggled in 1st half season and finished at bottom of table at half season point. In the 2nd half season, its performance improved without significant player or tactic changes. At one point it has good chance to reach 2nd place. But its performance suddenly worsened in last 2 or 3 days. It eventually finished at 6th (or 5th).

In this season, this team have no roster change except upgrading 2 attacking players 3 or 4 days ago. It unexpectedly well started the season with 8W 0D 1L. Most previous league matches were not so easy but my team could win. But these results are not fully surprising because average qualities in my league in this season were lower.
