The Mystery of Player & Club Form

[anduincolfer]

Since the start of this season, I've noticed I can't win any of my league matches against top clubs.
My players just suck every time they play big matches.

And in terms of quality, I'm at least 5-15% better than my league's top clubs.
In the champions league and cup, my results are more predictable and players form is much better.

Last season, I experienced the same thing but in an opposite way.
League form -> Terrific
Cup/Champions League -> Suck; got knocked out by a club 35% worse than me.

So my question is anyone experiencing this?
I mean I understand this happens in real life but this is a game.
This feeling of the whole game being "rigged", e.g. like as if the game has predetermined who will be the league winner is really frustrating.
Especially when I (we) spend money buying tokens to get scout players.
