Fun but random results? – Soccer Tycoon: Football Game Review

I am using an Italian side that was in the fifth division. I now have the second most valuable club in the world behind only Barcelona. I’ve never made a champions league, or a Europa league, or even won a serie A title. In fact, never even finished higher than 7th in the league. Juventus wins every year (like real life) and I usually finish 30+ points behind them every year. I compared the two teams and I have a much better squad at every position than Juve but I can’t even challenge them. Juve’s top Gk is a 64 and mine is 77. Juve’s defense is 83, 78, 69, 68, 62, and mine is 79,78, 77, 68. Their midfield is 78, 75, 63, 59, 47 and ours is 83, 79, 78, 76, 76. Their forwards are 85, 72, 67, 65 and mine are 79, 77, 74, 73, 69. I feel top to bottom, I have higher rated players than Juve but I can’t even get close to them. That is frustrating and makes me wonder how results are decided. Seems that they’re random or more than likely, heavily skewed towards certain clubs. I rarely beat Roma, Napoli, or Inter, even though I have far better players than all those clubs.
