I don't know what it is, dmin, but it feels like there are numbers "behind the scenes" that determine whether you're gonna go on a good or bad run. I was on a terrific run and *almost* made it to Div 4... and then, like you, dropped down to Div 8. It's quite odd. Keep battling, dude!
I'm in Online Division 7 at the moment and, man....
so much Liverpool! I think folk have cottoned on to how (unrealistically) sharp and quick they are following the last update and four of my past five matches have been against them
.
I've just had a light amongst the gloom, though. Playing as Villarreal against Liverpool, my opponent was a class act; loads of skill, quick movement and he knew all the tricks. He quickly went 2-0 up but then it became apparant he had another facet; that of being a total knob. He was passing the ball around endlessly to his keeper and back; and I couldn't get my players near enough to pinch the ball.
But then... I got a toe on the ball, stole it from his keeper and scored. And, right from the kick-off, he scored an incredible own goal, battering it over his own keeper from about 45 yards. He had been trying to get it back so that he could sit on the ball again... but cocked it up and it was now 2-2!
Of course, at this point he decided to play attacking football again, turning on all the skills and creating chances. But I was absolutely determined that he wasn't gonna score; it was real "backs to the wall" stuff! I fought like a dog and held out for the 2-2 draw.
Against such a knob, it felt like a victory
.
Tl;dr I got a respectable draw against a good-but-flash git
