A lower-ranked player in good form can sometimes outperform a higher-ranked player.Randomness: The game encapsulates some realities of the real sport, including its unpredictability.Human-controlled Variables: Player qualities like timing, positioning, and decision-making play a considerable role, which are human-controlled variables. 

The Final Verdict  

To conclude, if you ever find yourself frustrated, questioning whether your player's stats are misleading, remember the 'Beyond Statistics Factor'. The game encapsulates the realities of the sport as closely as a simulation can. In other words, FC Ultimate Team statistics don't lie, but they do require a deeper understanding of the game's intricacies.
