I don't get how that other team tops the league with such low quality.

Analysis part 1 - my league
"Final destination" is a serial of movies, thriller, where a guy has a premonition and doesn't take the airplane (which after while crashes ). There are also few other people with him. So, he cheats death. But after few days, one by one, all those guys, one after the other dying by weird accidents.
So nobody can cheat death
Well, that's a prologue
It's like the way I feel this season. I cheat the league draw, having 14 players, 6 of them with very low quality, had that draw, in this weak league, but I don't know yet if I can't win it

So, it's my team, 5 teams with low q players but in the right positions and descent formations and the rest 8 teams are totally abandoned.


the third team, Soppy AC, no7 in the table, as all the others bellow, have similar roster
In all of my games, there wasn't any oppo manager.
I was trying to challenge Truko (my main oppo), by watching 3-4 of his games and supporting his opponents but didn't have any reaction, retaliation or what


It was remarkable that he didn't have any troll/bad result (only one draw so far).
But today, finally had a second draw, so I have the chance to be first in my league.





Still have to play and win of course
if not, then maybe I 'll start to believe that I 'm in a Twilight Zone episode.

* here I want to say that I 've read in the forum, a couple of times, that leagues (or some leagues) are already set up (the winner, blah blah) after the draw. Hard to believe that.

** some maybe would say that if drop quality and play in a league with low quality teams, there is no challenge or you don't enjoy so much if won the championship.
Well, in a part, I can agree, but I can say that this season league, has more agony for me than previous season league for my main team. This team (Artemis) is my 2nd team. Last season, my main team, NIK F.C. played in a very competitive league, with 12 teams to have same quality as mine, but it was more easy to me to won that league
(you can see it in my team show case, http://forum.topeleven.com/team-show...-greece-6.html post #60).
Another challenge for me it to brake some record, having over 208 (league) goals.
That's difficult but I 'll try next season too.

Another experiment for me is to go for the treble and this time only with a 5* team .


Those players are
9 young fast trainers from previous season
5 players, 5* veterans, which I bought with low prices
1 free agent for sellng
6 low quality players from previous seasons


I didn't power-train my players


Here I had a little accident
by mistake (don't know, my finger slept on the screen, couldn't see well, I push "auto -assign" button for one of my players


anyway, we still on target , playing with a tough team in CH.L. final and with a weaker team for the Cup
but who knows

Those invalid pictures again

[nikolgiorgos]

ok, fix them
and this is how my season went
Won the league -
we had order again and I won in the second game Truko

with a very good final score, 209 goals
At the beginning I thought that I brake the record of goals for the league
but after checking carefully, I saw that it was 212 goals and 208 goals was the goal difference

Then I played my Cup - I won


and then I played my CH.L. final
where I lost 2-1
Here I want to say that the other team had a little better quality with few more 6* players
so I tempted to use my gathered skill points and have also some 6* players (and better chances) but
I would spoil my challenge to won the treble with a 5* team


it was so close

Not so new for me.. Been like this since level 2.
Same old criteria still apply.
As being the strongest team among your friends on day 2 & 23hours as that's when they make the league.

once worked for me ... before and after NEVER once when i tried really hard finding tems i had 40 weak(er) and mediocre teams in my friendlist... guess what amount have i got? ZERO

Well, it started at season 67-68 - at least then I noticed that in my server. The draw was putting almost all the teams with same quality in the league. After that first post here, nordeus made an official announcement. At season 69 it was about the same, except that the program was add also friends in the league because before that, if you had a friend with different quality, you played in separate leagues. This season, 70, seems that things were more loose, having also some not so strong teams in every league.
* and still friendship is a strong factor to play in the same league again (as before).

Unfortunately this season my team Artemis was strike by a double misfortune.
First was a draw in CH.L. where half of the teams in our group where from a level above (with strong teams and active managers)



After that I had no hope for CH.L so decided to stay in the same level
Then I had another strike, my fb account was disabled because of "wrong" name.
So they want to send some ID documents.
So, Artemis career ended here

This season, for my team NIK FC, it was the opposite.
I 'm in a CH.L. were half of the teams are lv15 ( I 'm lv16).
In my league, all the teams had 5* players in the beginning of the season. Now the have also 6* players.
this is the league, day 11


This is the first stage of CH.L.
NIK and another team, finished only with victories


This is the other team, HAPOEL and this is the last team of my league, Robby ( I lost from him )


How realistic is that
