Very nice post, agree with most of it, BUT
................
I think about like this: what, if there's a timer of x days for every new player, where your team gives you randomious result?
-> I used 5 seasons the exactly same T11, 1. and 2. of this, I bought 1-2 new subs. 3-5 they were exactly the same 22, and this 3 seasons in a row, we won the triple. Last season, I bought 4 new players, but only one was very fast at T11 -> we lost cupfinal. Random?
Other example: Last season, at cupfinal, we played vs a formation, which I had a counterformation. This worked every time. Opponent didn't watch the game, my team was overall better (so counter worked again), but we lost! But why? Did the system want us to lose? Did they made some changes, I first see at this game?

I started that thread)
I'm one of this crazy guys, who tries to understand the game....
Another thing is: if you play vs unwatched team, they seem like better than watched. I think, that's on the AI, because the AI is the only thing, who knows, what you are doing and it reacts (or reacts faster than ever human). If I lose against a real person, it's okay, because they are there, they change, they try,...
but to lose against AI in the trolling way, it's only annyoing.
Conclusion:
