I have had other players over the years who go hot or cold at the start of the season and are predictable enough to catch my attention. I do play all my games so I do tend to notice how players are doing.

We'll never know for sure unless Markus decides to share which I doubt.
That's not how random works. If you flip a coin 10,000 times there will be a lot of times where the same pattern happens in eight straight trials. It's entirely possible that there's no hot/cold coding, it's 100% random, and you have a player who is always cold early in the year.
