Is it normal to lose 0-5 at half time by using Arsenal against a League 1 team?

I got my FM16 yesterday and chose Arsenal to manage. As I only wanted to have a quick look at the match engine, I skipped every preparation and started the very first warm-up match. Arsenal had already lost 0-5 in half time with NO shoot on target against a League1 team (I can't even remember it's name) ...Before starting the match, I got no training, no team talks, all players are auto-assigned, and no tactics are created.

It is very hard to believe one of the top teams can be so dominated by a weak team like that... Would somebody tell me if it is normal?

It's not normal mate, just one of them strange things FM does from time to time I guess. I would say just forget it and play a few more games see if things improve.

The only other thing is the game might be designed to make a team that has been completely ignored in every aspect (Tactics, Instructions, Training ... ), play like a bunch of morons! If you just select a team and send them out on the pitch doing nothing else there's always going to be issues. 5-0 at HT to a League 1 side is extreme though...

I have been noticing some elements of the game which I find odd - that sort of result is certainly bizarre.

I get the feeling that morale is heavily over-weighted in this game. I'm noticing that one loss often results in a frankly ridiculous losing run.

I've found that with every FM, once you get on a run bad enough to kill the morale it's so tough to break it, i've always thought morale has too much impact on the games.

is it normal to wank over Janet street porter? I did once. she looked very alluring in a mag. did I regret it? no. I moved on.

sometimes as human beings, we are weak and we make very bad decisions....

It's an important test of imagination to find the blandest program on TV during study leave and try and crack one out over it. Countdown was always a good entry point because it had Vorderman in her tight, high-waisted trousers.

Thank you for all the advice!!!
I found out the major factor afftecting performance is `fitness & Sharpness` . I tried to put players with good condition in the next friendly game against Chelsea, though it lost 4-3, performance improved drastically!
