The bottom line is that unless you want to comply with the direction Top Eleven want you to go in, (ie, have a bunch of Top Eleven pals) you will need a far superior team to win. Why is this BS so important to Top Eleven? And why the hell should people who aren't interested in BS bromances bother? They won't. You just promoted a bunch of cliques, and waved goodbye to a lot more people that have already endured this nonsense of a ridiculously unfair handicap. A spectacularly idiotic, and discriminatory move.
Hi Aden,

Thank you for your feedback.

This was one of the most demanded features in all Top Eleven history, and we have worked hard to make it possible. It has many benefits, not only supporting your friends (and let them support you) but also allowing you to watch these matches, so you can be closer to your friends and follow how are they doing in their competitions. This feature has been consistently showing up in the feedback we're receiving from our managers, and it makes sense, as a lot of users play this game with their friends, so why not allow them to be able to track their teams? It's exciting to watch your friend's Champions League final in your phone!

On the other hand, I wouldn't say Facebook users have now an advantage, because this feature also works for ingame friends. And you don't need to be connected to Facebook to add (or receive) ingame friend requests, and to have ingame friends. Of course it's up to every manager to have more or less friends, but that's definitely not an unfair advantage, because all users can do it and again, you don't need Facebook for that. It's like if you don't like the auction system and refuse to bid on any auction, or you don't like to upgrade your facilities so you don't do it. It's your choice, but you can't blame the system because the others are using a feature you don't like and don't want to use. It's up to you. It would only be unfair if you were not allowed to use this feature and get the benefit, but this can be used by everyone in Top Eleven.

On any case, remember that the total bonus is limited to 15%, so even if your rival has 30 friends supporting him, the possession bonus will never go above +15%.
