Just check my cup matches that costed me the title and wasted season. The opponent is 15% weaker and not present during both matches. I have full +10 training bonues, +10 team bonus and +15 support bonues. The first match is away for me.

Classic 2-1 defeat with almost the same stats for both team. It wouldn't have been that strange if we don't check the ratings of the players

His average is 6.3 and my average is 7.9 but still we have almost the same stats and I lose. This seems strange somehow as his best players had same performance as the worst ones in my team. But you say - doesn't matter and I will be able to solve it in the 2nd match.

No way, - says the game engine! For you the cup is over and it gives some strange penalty without video anumation but simply informs you that the score is 0-1 and not in your favour. And then comes the troll. 23 shots (!!!) and only 2 (!!!) of them on target?!?!?! Is it a joke?!?! My attacking players have 250-300 skills in finishing and 250+ in shooting and they can't make a shot on target?!?! Players that scored 109 goals in the first 10 days of the season and mainly against equal teams. In this case we just understand that all these skills are just a visual glitch that doesn't matter. Why should I spend time and efforts training my team and enter each match when nothing (bonuses, skills, stats) matters here any more.

And just to finish this topic let's see one more interesting example from this season. The opponent is 1 level and 40% weaker than me. No mutants but he was present during the game. So judging by the overall difference I was sure I would beat him easily. Somehow the game started with his 2 goals and I was losing 0-2. I would say this is a troll.

But during the last 10 minutes without any changes of the formation I was able to score twice making it a draw. And now let's see the team ratings

My average team rating is 6.1 and the opponent's is 7.6. Before the 80th (when I scored my first goal) minute my average was 5.4. The striker who scored both goals was 5.2. So in this case I think it's the opponent who must moan about trolls and the stolen victory.

Anyway, this is just one more perfect example that undorunately this game became empty and there is nothing behind these numbers which are just a visual feature
