Spend spend spend

I was a player fighting for promotion to Div 4 but every promotion game I would lose then lose a load of games and end up in a relegation battle to Div 5. So got sick of game and decided not to spend as much money on the game. Since I made that choice have now gone from getting to Div 4 promotion games to 1 game away from being relegated to Division 7. But yet Community Managers will come say EA don’t script or influence games with out really showing any evidence. But since I’ve stopped splashing the cash I’ve dropped so far in this game. My game play hasn’t changed I’ve added better players that I’ve managed to get. The only thing that has changed is the amount I spend on the game.
