If there's anything that this FA fiasco has taught me, statistics do not matter.

[Cloverfield]

quoting my/the same opinion.

I feel a bit disappointed if indeed this is the case

Interesting stuff can be retrieved by this bug and the game engine.
I observed something odd.
I was the unlucky one to be in a very low level (L5) playing against 15+ level manager.
So the % difference is huge.

Despite the difference my stats were not bad. Too many shots in general and many on target. I just COULD NOT score and oppo scored ..a lot
Also the possession was equal. For such great difference only 80-20 would be expected.

So, I try to extract some info from it.
The bug affects the quality of team and not the statistics.
So even the statistics are "politically correct" the game engine does other calculation and creates a winner.

So...
SHOULD WE TRUST THE STATISTICS?

Till now I relied toο much on them, but this bug maybe opened a pointless tactic view of the game
