I have done a few more tests recently, and found a few things, one of which was that Fa doesn't seem to affect the seasonal outcomes a whole lot. The way I did the test was play a season 3 times with given league ratings, than for one team changed Fa of every player to 9, played a season 3 times.
Then, changed Fa of every player on that team to 6 and played the season 3 times. There was no significant difference in the results.
I did test without streaks and slumps. At some point in the first or second season, I spoke to Trevor and he mentioned that a player with low Fa goes into a slump when played on top lines. I noticed something like that too, but on Eagles all players would slump with no discrimination on Fa rating, so it was hard to prove or disprove this.
