I think that sums it up nicely:

You can't really be competitive (i.e. be a trophy hunter) because winning trophies depends in large part on luck (i.e. not getting a troll - i've been trolled 6 times in finals).
You can only play casually (i.e. put maybe 10 min a day) because otherwise, you will be disappointed when the engine makes you lose.

Unfortunately I am both. I want a game I can outsmart the opposition and think tactically, not hope the match engine works properly.

Time to return to Football Manager!
