Shame as pick up and play potential is amazing

Started off really liking this. But results are too random. No matter what team, what formation, strength of opposition. Nothing is taking into account, the results are pure luck. I went an entire season as Chelsea without a single win. At the end it said I could pay to go to next season so that had me questioning the intent of the developers. Real shame tho as it looks and feels great with a real nod to great players. Although redknapp name is spelt wrong
