    Sometimes I get the feeling that the game engine has decided what the optimum formation, tactics and orders are the 'best' for you for that match and you have to guess what they are - once you have found them you get a really good performance and result.

    For instance, recently in a match I was much better Quality than the opponent, but they were leading 2-0 and I was in for a right old Trolling. I noticed that the two opposition wide defenders had high match ratings, so switched to attacking through the centre exclusively, instead of mixed - into a 3DC-DMC central defence, which in normal circumstances was a complete no-no. I won 4-2...
    Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

    So, it could be that whatever were selected to be the optimal orders were random rather than based on the opponent, that is, the engine just choose randomly what will be the best orders rather than logical.

    For those matches where the play bears no resemblance to 'normal' play in that the tactics that you know would be suitable for the opponent's Quality, formation and possible tactics and orders is patently having no reasonable effect, it seems that a certain random element to the options for countering what the opponent is actually playing like has been introduced.

    When it gets to about the 55-60th minute in matches like this that I try to throw in a random change myself to see what the effect is - the 'desperate times call for desperate measures' moment - sometimes it comes off. I'm still trying to get my head round the theory myself. If I get any more insights I'll let y'all know.
