This may be common knowledge but whenever I set the match to ‘key moments’ and the opposition have possession they’ll probably score.

However, if the ball goes out for their throw-in/corner, if use the ‘shout’ feature or make a sub before they take the set piece, the game will jump back to fast-sim and I no longer concede, am I taking advantage of this unfairly or is this just how the game works?

Is it factoring in that ‘oh he’s made a change, this does affect the gameplay, the team no longer score here’? Seems to work in my favour too often for it not to be essentially an unfair advantage.

In my current save I'm roleplaying that the football Gods do exist. They're favouring me slightly at the moment, I reckon it's because I'm new to FM and they're watching over me.

If a manager of a club i've loaned a player to doesn't give the player I've loaned them the pre-agreed game time despite warnings, the football Gods make sure that all of his players that start ahead of my player will have their contracts terminated (only if their club is outside the league I'm in, so not to influence my league so much).

I had a moment where I wasn't using a player I received on loan, so the football Gods terminated my players contract that was playing ahead of the loaned player.

Man City are back where they belong in League Two.

The Saudi League teams are all in massive amounts of debt.

If I wish a player of mine the "best of luck" after he decides to leave to join another club, but he takes offence to my parting words, the Gods will have all of his mental stats ruined for being a prong and now he's very injury prone, with his determination through the floor. I'll monitor his downfall weekly.

Any player having a really good season that I'm thinking of signing in the next couple seasons gets red hair, so I can keep a close eye on them in my games.

I support Roma, just so happens the football Gods do too, so any member of staff or player that joins my club suddenly becomes the biggest Roma fan and can suddenly speak fluent Italian, which will save Roma time and money funding their language courses which will become relevant when I make it out the Swedish second division and become a top club. Every club will be like a dog on hot chips trying to buy my Swedish, Italian speaking, Roma-loving wonderkids when we start dominating in 3-5 years, but they'll all go to Roma for dirt cheap, to help them win the UCL they deserve.
