The Raiders 35T team (Explained)

The Opposition

As the season starts The Cup is the first competition you will play home & away over 2 days as 128 teams battle it out for a place into the next round. Depending how full your server is the 128 teams will consist of active managers & Bot Robots.

What are BOT Robots? "They are like fly's you can swat them but they keep coming back"



Bot Robots are Nordeus generated teams that fill up the spaces in the server, this allows the game to run due to the lack of active players. The teams are generally set up to play a set formation for the course of the season so should be easy to work out the best formation to beat them, BUT as you begin to play you will find that nothing is that simple.

Day 3 is the start of the League. Nordeus will try to keep any Facebook friend that you have also playing Top 11 & starting at the same time on your server so they should be in your league & may also be in the cup. Friends are very useful for playing friendly matches in your first season as you will have some days where you only have 1 match due to the obvious omission of the Champions League, this you have to earn by finishing in the top 4 of the league at season end.

A good tip is to check out all the opposition in the league & look for the following:

1. Rating.... are they better rated than you?
2. Formation.... Starting formations are a good thing to know because if they are non-active players the formation & the rating will stay the same.
3. Have they got a full squad, generally the teams with a full squad are the ones that change to suit each match.

These three things will give you a better idea as to what formation your team will mostly play during the first season.
