I do think the frequency of the trolls is problematic. When I get a troll result, like the unexpected tie against a team 15-20% weaker, if I play against another team with similar quality right afterwards, I am almost always right in predicting I will lose that match too. Also, it is always strange when you see a game you dominated and they scored 3 goals against you with a 100% accuracy rate. Meanwhile, you are stuck at a 12% accuracy rate.
Going back to the fixed games, there are certain things I believe you should expect and certain situations that are unreasonable. If you play defensive, you expect to get scored against on long shots, not take 3 goals on counters where your entire team, for some reason, is at the midfield point.
