Yes, but it is deliberately rare. A tier-one club with a strong squad, smart rotation and a bit of luck can do it. Underdogs essentially need a miracle run.
Team strength comes from XI ratings, formation, style, momentum, fatigue and home advantage, then seeded randomness decides the score. Everything is deterministic per seed.

Use today's shared seed, then compare final positions and scores. Daily seed runs start from identical randomness.
