Why dont I believe in it ? this is a game of chance really , a randomly selected number pattern determines the match results and all improving your team does is improve your chances of generating a higher random number pattern more often. All teams are capable of generating their own high number roll at some point although lower rated teams high roll may not be as high as higher rated teams. At some point your team will roll its low numbers and if this coincides with a lower rated teams high number pattern then you are a chance of losing the match or at the very least struggling to beat them. This number pattern generation has no association with the day of the week.
don't agree with this theory. If that had been the case, my team which was nearly the 9th 10th seed last league (I had 140 130 rated opponents while I started at 106) could not have ultimately gotten the better of so many 115s and. 112s and virtually get loads of troll results, (1 I specifically remember was against the guy who came 2nd, I didn't even see the match and had just kept it hard defensive counters on with a weird 3 2(dmc) 2 2(aml amr) 1 st formation against a 4 3 2 1 with 160+ wingers and st, and I ended up trolling him 4 2) and reach the 4th spot. (Yeah I know its laughable, but it was a far bigger achievement than any league win to me, given there were real active people, with doubles and trebles all pitted in the same league).

The same team this season with literally the same players lost to a 92% with 3W- 2 dmc - 2 (ml mr) 1 amr 2 striker this season, a very weird formation.. But a formation nonetheless. I lost 4 2. I was 115%. The same team lost to the exact copy of my formation 7 1 in the next match. I mean. 7 1. The same 4 2 3 1. And he used the same formation. The guy who got him 7 1 lost 5 0 to me and he's some 105, while seeing the match..

A lot of results lack meaning. Unlike football manager where your brainwork does pay, here its more of a hogwash. If it has to work, it will. If it doesn't. It wont.

I mean, I lost 5 finals. And my best player with 250 goals in 211 matches always goes missing in the finals. Max too agreed with me, and I have used his technique, not seeing semi finals and finals yield better results.

Zeki fc, a 111% team playing 4 1 2 3 got rampaged 7 3 by my 117% squad without me seeing in the cup semis. And poor guy must have been thinking the orders. I have my own fair share of getting trolled too.

This season, weekends have been bad. My players will again do better after the 1st asso game tomorrow. I have a league game in 3 hours. Somehow salvaging a point would see me coast through the rest of the league. Have done away the 2 other league competitors, the last one remains, while I sit on a 3 point advantage and 16 goal difference better than 2nd
