Hector, you're absolutely right. i've said the same thing like an year ago, complaining on those matches that you can't do anything no matter how many changes you make. in those 2 mins before the match starts, the game engine is calculating the result based on all those craps IF the managers are not online. and whenever a manager or a supporter is entering the match he gets that possesion bonus. anyway, it's a fact, some matches are pre-fixed with nothing you can do to avoid the defeat. just one of the many examples: a few seasons ago, semi-final of the cup, i won first round 6-1 (only me present) and second round i lost 5-0 (both present). he goes to the final after i got 2 red cards and got humiliated just because the server wanted that way. what could i do???
