Answer

I dont know if you will believe me but it isnt a fix. Its just random chance. My arsenal starting 11 gave an average rating or 96, but cant go a season unbeaten, or even be definite title winners. For all the work you put in with a team, the great tactical play, the clever player purchases, there is always an element of random chance. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont. Maybe earlier in the season you got some wins that were unlikely - now you have to expect the flip side where you lose games you dont expect to. A stronger squad, like the man u side you talk about, have a better chance simply because they will have better players. My burton albion side are probably in a similar position to your stevenage, they keep swapping the top spot with man city, but it aint over until its over. Getting a stevenage side to second spot in a top division isnt easy, dont beat yourself up about it. Its more rewarding to do well with a small team than to have it laid on a platter for you with the riches of man u or barca.

I have won the league with no players rated above 93, and I have lost with an average starting 11 rating of 95. Luck always plays its part, its built into the game engine.

And for the record, it definitely isnt a reward for gold managers. Im a gold manager, and the game works just the same for me as for you.
