what Sasha m said might be right. I started to use bonuses only recently and so far, it does make a different.
I don't know maybe it's us for some of us it works.

i'm having the same mindset like sasha m
when im ahead by 2-3 goals i use Possesion bonus and so far, like i said it works.
will see how in the upcoming matches as i believe it won't work for at least a match or two.
