The Top eleven team has said that there is randomness in the game. I qoute this from the in-game help feature under the question I lost a game but my team was stronger. Why?: "In every good career there are ups and downs. Even the best football managers cannot always lead their team to success, no matter how good the players in their squad are." This pretty much says that, "There is randomness in the game since even when you are the best you won't always win". And another thing, I've had this game for over five years now, not the best at it, but love the game and I completely understand when you say that it can give a lot of emotions and butterflies in your stomach. I've had, I've felt those emotions.
