I have to say thats not a troll, my team is Very similar to that of your friend, and i keep getting results like that against stronger teams.

Why? After the last big update, quality have even less importance then before, the main factor now is other, people just have to found it and take advantage of it.
While the dumb still think that by having a scout team will won every game.

My yesterday game, my MR scored 1 goal and made 1 assist, to my level he is a -1*, yes, minus 1 star, he is way behind any other player on the field.
