If that message ( "They were favourites for the match" ) remain in t11 2019 ( i hope not ) , i think they need to explain it to us
First : They need to say why that message pop up,i can understand "it just wsn't to be" or "they were lucky" but this one sound like something already fixed and i really don't like that (and i think not only me )
Second: Based on what ? form( for example : a weak team lost so many matches and the game decide to give him at least a "win ", just hypothesis )? or a combination of team condition/morale?
Third: I also heard about what @nikolgiorgos said , about a penalization to mutants ( i also heard some friends that have that problem ), maybe this is the confirmation that grey skills matter ? the only thing that i noticed is that this kind of matches are more frequent for managers that have this kind of teams
I hope that the new game( and the Devs of course ) will be more clear about this, lot of cases are in the forum , so much that they made a long thread about it
