What would you like to ask? Is there something else at work here ?

Additional Details

So I win Div 3, 2, then 1. Last season I win div 1,and am runner up in cup. I am a geek, who keeps a record of all the tactics of every match my team has played.
The new season starts, and I have played 3 games. I reviewed the team selection of the opposition, and the oppositions team was basically the same as when I beat them last season. My players are all 100%. They are all 92+ and my players far, far better than my opponents.

So why, oh why have I lost all 3 opening games..........and not 1-0, or 2-1, but 4-0, 3-0, and 3-1 ?

I should be hammering these teams. Is there some other software addition that SMFA put in, to ensure a successful team has a real bad season the following one ? Yes, I expected to lose a few games - don't we all.......but losing my opening 3 games, against weaker, much weaker opposition makes me want to throw the towel in, and unsubscribe.

    There are many other factors besides simply fitness condition and ratings of the players that is taken into account in the SM algorithm for results. There are many other factors such as tactics and formations.

    For example, you may have better fitness and ratings then your opponent, but if you play a 3-2-2-2-1 against a 3-3-4 formation, it might be easier for the 3-3-4 to score more goals on you. Again, I am just speculating and it is just for example's sake.

    My point is that there are many other factors. Many of which SM does not disclose, rightfully so, because then everyone would know how to win if they knew every factor. But, if you are implying that there is some sort of bug within the results system, then simply click on the 'Report Bug' link in the left-hand sidebar of this screen.
