Season 140 - Are you ready?

The troll quality range is at least up to 60%, so a ‘well-trained team plus attendance bonus’ could still cause such an upset even when the chance is very, very low.

Players having poor conditions level would perform worse than usual. Maybe try training all those 1% players to close to 30% conditions just before match starts, and also force the team to play hard pressing & man-on-man to further deplete their remaining conditions? Such a team ‘should’ concede many goals in the last 30 mins in any match.

I would mate but sadly I can't have those 1 percent guys trained up too much as I am only tanking for this season. Will need to revert to my previous playing style for next. I play low press and zonal because high press and man to man gives a boost and I do not want that. My tactical set up is screwed up as well. Short pass, hard defending, no counters and playing offside trap. Basically everything is set up wrong.

You are right that its possible but it is happening too often to me this season that's why I posted. Wanted to find out what's the cause so I can react. Will be using my first team for training bonuses going forward. Hopefully not too late

You have tried everything possible already, so there’s not much more you could have done to throw away a match.

1% player could be trained with role or SA, hence stats remain low (need them to solve the role & SA special sponsor tasks); and formation-wise you could try to play only 2 defenders, with DC at DR/DMC corner and DL at ML region close to touchline, with a 2-1-5-2 formation with DMC pushed up and AMC pulled back with arrows the opposite way as it should be. Tanking formation can still spread around players but 8 midfielders with wrong arrows should be even worse.

It looks like tpb aint the issue and the team bonus is the one that gives the biggest boost so my idea to train bonuses with main team isn't gonna work. I use a straight line through the middle formation as I need the yellow exclamation mark for 'very low' preparation. Having any players on the wings gives the team a huge boost as well as it removes the yellow exclamation mark for formation. Can't place everyone at the wings either as that causes a red exclamation mark which means I can't save the formation and it automatically reverts to last formation.

I place players at positions based on their lowest whites so most attackers are at defence and defenders at attack. Midfielders get slotted at GK and ST mostly. Wingers play DC and wingbacks play AMCs. Those with good heading like DC and ST fill the MC positions.

Yep my 1 percent players all have SA and 3 positions so can't prevent quality gains. Thanks for the arrow idea though. Will add them now!
