    I've been matched against what was pretty poor opposition on Friday that turned out to be 10%+ better than me on Saturday (bl**dy Tankers) several times - and still got 4/6 points from both matches.

    It appears that only the Association matchup is done on the average Quality of the best players in teams over the week, the individual matches still seem to be on the Starting XI when the draw is made.

    Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

    Something is fishy for sure because 98% versus 130%, 116% versus 129%... and I also noticed something that you said, they had lower quality players set as first 11.
