I'm aware of the fact that the game isn't that complicated and is thus based on random probability (I know, it doesn't even make sense, but neither does TE), which is the whole reason for my animosity towards it.
Scenario variables, and, not precisely lots of factors, the reality is that very "few selected factors"affect a particular game scenario. Somewhere I did a resume about this, too in the spanish subforum mentioning the many existing factors and why there can't be more factors liek weight, foot etc... because we have a good list now and each scenario is so particular cause the few factors selected as determinant.

Scenario lecture and knowledge about the own team internal programming is the key here. Then once you do this right, you have the chances. And once you understand how the engine thinks, and interprets the settings, that isn't in a 1vs1 way or logical way, then you finally earned the supreme knowledge to play this game and turn every single scenario you face.
