I don't know whether or not they are supposed to be just as good, but it sure doesn't seem like they are. At least in my division I look forward to games when I play a bot team so I can play "take it easy". In my opinion they have one maybe two key players and are predicable...obviously. It seems like just about the only time a bot team wins is when they play another bot team.

I understand, 2 points though:

- if the team is still managed by a human who has not logged in for a very long time, how come it can still win games? I though that if you did not set up your tactics you would be in big trouble.

- concerning bots hopefully I don;t have any right now in my division but the reason I think they should be easy to beat is just for the morale of new managers. If they start playing and are in a division with only computer-managed teams and they cannot beat them they might get disappointed and leave the game!

How can you tell if you are playing a bot team?

When you go to another teams overview page it says in the time right. It will say "Manager: (user name)" for a human controlled team or "Manager: This team is controlled by a computerized player" for a bot.

I suppose that maybe a user has set his orders for the matches of the next month and don't have to log in every day to do it. But again, if this is happening, he must have all the luck not to get any injuries...

If an inactive player sets a default lineup and no players are missing or injured from the lineup then it is possible they will still win.
