The randomness of this game boggles the mind from time to time. I am number one the league. My players are in great shape (7 of them are mentioned in the 3 top fives). I am at +56 goals right now and I face the number 10 who hasn't won that much yet. His quality is 5 lower then mine and he plays the same formation. This should be a walkover. Nope, this will be another episode of GOALIES GONE WILD, but not as you think. This time my goalie takes his shirt off.

I have my win bonus at max, training bonus at 8%, max morale. Powertrained my striker with free kick to 7 stars. Looking good. The game starts. First animation is for my adversary. Second animation for my adversary. Third animation for my advisary and he scores. I check the stats 6 shots and 3 on target for him and only 3 shots for me. Hmm, things are not going well. I don't see many red numbers yet. Another animation, this for me, oh no, he intercepts and SCORES! 2-0 behind. Still not a shot of mine at target.

Ok, lets change formation a bit. Ah green numbers. Check again. Hmmm, a defender scores a bit low. 5,5. Get a substitute in, NOW. Wait for it. Come on, send in the substitute. Score drops to 5,1. Animation for the advisary and SCORE. 3-0 behind. What the..... Sigh. Thx for waiting to get that lagger out. Finally an animation for me. My 7 star free kick specialist takes the shot and misses...... Seriously? You ungratefull son of a ..... I spend 50 green packs on you to get that star higher. Another animation and my 7 star FK specialist takes the shot again and..... scores! Phew. Whistle blows. End score 3-1 loss. There goes spot number 1. I was far in the lead but 3 ties and 2 losses in the last 8 games sets me back. Lets hope my players will start performing better again.

I checked the saves by my goalie though and he made 7 saves. To bad the advisary had 15 shots on target against my 5! How did this happen? Same formation, lesser players but triple the chances. Gotta love the Random number god.
