It's good to attend the games.
After two changes in game engine (one before about two years when they reduced the super domination scores vs abandoned or illegal formation teams
and another one before one year when the reduced the effect of the mutants) , any result is possible vs a weaker or abandoned or with absent manager team that has some descent formation if playing in auto.
What matters is that you must "read" the game and the stats, use bonus, make a sub, change the f-k/c-k takers if need, switch orders so to reverse a bad upcoming result.
If it wasn't to be, you have earned one green
