Default Is it possible to win EVERY game?

Just wondering about the possibility of winning every game in FM and never ever losing. Let's say you're a tactical genius, Mr Motivator and a brilliant trainer who can also spot a brilliant player a mile off. Would it be theoretically possible to win every single game you play and never get defeated?

Obviously that's not realistic, but is it actually technically possible in FM?

If not, what factors come into play to stop this from happening and keep the realism in the game?

Of course it's possible, the human brain isn't as limited as FM's AI. Once you know how to counter act anything the AI dishes up it's probably harder to lose.
That's tactically, but overall with selections, morale and form etc.etc. taken into account, it should be pretty much impossible to go more than say 2 years undefeated.
IMO, anyone who has gone 3 seasons or so undefeated is either a liar or autistic.

From a mathematical perspective, of course its possible - the same way that its possible for a coin to flip "heads" 100 times in a row .. but I'm not going to sit around waiting for that chance, either.

In FM, factors such as declining motivation, fatigue, injury, and simple bad luck (red card, injury after 3rd sub, etc) would all tend to combine to bring winning streaks - and losing streaks luckily! - to an eventual end.

I haven't personally been in any danger of completing an unbeaten season, but I remember a poster who was complaining about FM'06 or FM'07, whose basic point was "Two seasons in a row I've clinched the title early, while unbeaten .. and my team have immediately lost the next league match. They should have the motivation to finish that rare unbeaten season, not lose motivation because they've won the title!"

So that's apparently another factor.

...

Note that the game is "easier" on a smaller database - if you run a Small DB with only England active, you can eventually reach a point where you have the 15 or 20 best players in the entire game on your team, and the whole thing becomes a bit too easy ..

If you play a Large database with England, Italy, Spain, and Germany active, the crop of "best" players will be too large for you to monopolize, so there will always be a couple of other good teams in your league, plus of course, in the Champions League.

Yes it's possible, but not without a massive amount of luck.

If you edited a team with all its players having 20 stats in everything then it would definitly be possible. You'd need to come up with a ok tactic and you should beat everyone easily.

no because no matter how good you are at some point the AI will make your players dumb as a 10 years old kid... my team for example was scoring 3 goals each game, then my 2 main strikers got dumb and didnt score even though they were able to get 15+ shots on target, so i started to use my other 2 strikers, 1 month later still wiinning because the 2 new strikers were scoring then those 2 also got dumb and so i had 4 world class dumb strikers...

I went on a 14-1-1 start with Spurs, notched up last minute wins by pure luck despite playing poorly. Example, Keane shoots from 35yards at 92nd mins, HE SCORED!! Yeah, luck is big. I guess it was a lucky couple of days as i played all those matches in a couple of days.

BUT... now I'm on a 8 match winless streak, despite playing well and dominating. What goes around comes around?

I swear I won't stop playing once I get a lucky win. :cool:

I have a issue with my team loosing for no reason. I will be in the cup play the best team that i have and play some crap team from l2 and lose 2-0 yet the next match i beat man utd etc.

Big teams lose i get that but thats normally because they bang out the under 18 team half the time
