How to deal with inactive/abandoned teams and illegal formations?

[FC Barcelona]

Hi guys!

This subject has been discussed many times on different threads, referring to our findings and feedbacks, so i guess it's time to turn this into a formal request to Nordeus. We, active players would like to have more fair-play.

1/ Inactive/abandoned teams and illegal formations have to lose their matches 3-0 against active players.

2/ Nordeus have to stop promoting small/very small teams when they facing a better opponent. We would like a fair, true, logical LIVE simulation, and not pre-determined scores based on irl football facts. Active people have to be rewarded for their efforts.

Yes, agree, although when you get to the higher levels of the game this isn't too much of a problem due to most teams being active, but when facing illegal formations inparticular, you should win by default, inactive sides playing regular formations should begin to struggle after a while after players lose morale but because they play normal formations they can sometimes get a result against 10-15 quality teams better but this is uncommon, I've often seen the worst abandoned teams struggle in the league all season not picking up that many points, There was 3 seasons I played, I think it was L10,L11 & L12 where the bottom abandoned team all finished with 0-0-26 with 0 points and conceded well over 100 goals each.

The problem is with abandoned teams is that after a few seasons players contracts expire and the system generates old 3* replacement players for the squad.

definitely YES!

So like a walkover? Does that mean the opponent, the active team, will not get any skill progress, ticket and merchandise income, nor boosters and the MOM skill point?

They will, like a real simulated match!

So everything will be like normal, but the scoreline is set at 3-0? How do you determine whether a team is inactive/abandoned or not?

Illegal formations might be a problem because an active manager might accidentally save an illegal formation, and then not have time to change it before the match starts.

Double post, not sure how that happened.

Well..

Your team might look like that to others at the very beginning of the season as well. That happens because the players' contracts ran out and were not renewed. I don't trust the system to judge all this.

I actually had a CL match when i won by default by 0-3. But every other time i faced an abandoned, i had to play the match. Might it be that the 0-3 is set for abandoned with under 11 peeps available?
