ok @ MiddleEarth
interesting your post (oh no, not another T11 nerd - lol)
I can see that you had
Season 2, 2 troll
Season 3, 1 troll
Season 4, 1 troll
Season 5, 2 troll
Season 6, 2 troll
so far so good, that's a normal T11 situation
Season 7, 6 troll
Those are too many but I wonder if it was a "bad" season, something happened to your "key" players or don't know what else.
No one knows your team better than you
Season 8, 3 troll
Season 9, 3 troll
Season 10, 7 troll
Season 11, 6 troll
That's the interesting part.
What we 're searching for.
If something broken the latest months.
but consider that
1) You mentioned about 1-2 games which was your finals.
A team, an oppo who reached the finals deserves some respect.
Even if he has lower quality or not using the perfect formation or been present in the games, he has some chemistry, he has built a team that for some reason can destroy any opponent.
Like Atletico Madrid phenomenon (wth is this team doing in top 3 of Spanish League or top 4-8 of Europe ?)
2) Ball possession
Is this factor overestimated ?
Considering that a big part of that, comes from the +8% of our presence, our supporters and the 5% from home game/tickets.
That's a big discussion.
We already had some, here for example

3) The stats are broken, not the game.
What I mean is that the stats we see aren't the real ones.
If we leave away the b.p. (and the Live game as it's only preset videos)
the next weird thing is the efficiency, the broken balance between the Shots, the SoT and the successful shots.
But if those numbers are wrong ?
If (despite the ball possession) the number of the shots and the SoT are very similar ?
I spotted this here. 3 months ago

4) Another one factor, is that the teams from +1LV, have some hidden bonus (that's my theory from experiences) which give them higher efficiency than our team (which maybe can have the same quality with oppo).
So now that most of the active managers are playing vs managers from a +1 lv (in the Cup and the CH.L. or Super League) but maybe not so active, this multiplies the troll issue.
