Season 5 Level 5 Mid Season Update
Competitions
This season I am fairly confident in securing the league. While some might feel it is easier with 1 league competitor, I think it might be easier with a few more. Rather than wait for a troll that might never happen against your only competitor. A league with a few competitors means a higher probability of them losing points against each other which benefited me this season.
I remain in both Cup and CL this season but my competition is more interesting this season. CL quality is generally lower with mostly 4 star teams as of today and Cup opponents are all lower band 5 star teams.
Record
My only draw took place in the cup against an unlikely opponent. Rating of 60 plus vs my 6 star team and almost ended my undefeated streak. I was trailing almost the entire match until I equalised during the 78th min. I made my 2nd and 3rd sub in the 73rd min and he made his 3rd sub in the 76th min. I believe one of those actions triggered my equaliser. Or maybe he altered his orders which might have put him at a disadvantage.
Associations
So this is my 2nd month playing the associations tournament and I am quite pleased. It is really quite fun if one were to play among active friends. It also allows communication within the game which has its pros and cons. Best of all, we get to win tokens!
For myself, I found association matches tougher to win than my regular tournaments. Probably due to draw manipulation and being in a Gold 1 association. I feel it’s a good testing ground and a confidence booster as you learn to handle higher level more experienced players.
