Jumpers

[herdo]

But when you tank a season, your players all age a year and slow down in their skill gains. So when in the following season you do (hopefully) win promotion, you're already on the back foot. No?

Hence why i bought only 18 year olds, have read on here that they dont slow down every year but more like in 3 year jumps? ill also have tokens saved up from the tanked season, the seasons that my team competes and when i need to buy more players ill have 2 or 3 seasons worth of tokens to play with

Haha it also gives the token buyer someone to hate on, makes a change from it being the other way around

I'm telling you on my server... It's madness to see a rubbish average 5*/6* team go up against that tanked or missed promotion not by purpose go against our team thats invested in hours on power training, If any token buyers didn't power train and only filled their team up with scouts, there is chances that they won't automatically win the league due to tankers and other teams that had failed to promote.

Whats a jumper, some might ask?
Others may have a different name for it, but I call them jumpers. In short, a jumper is someone who deliberately stay on the same level. The jumper benefit from this the season to come, giving them two seasons to upgrade thier squad.

There is nothing illegal nor unethnical about it. In fact is very common. It has become a money saving tactic that givs the player twice the time to improve the squad.

Of cause jumping is not something new. I and everybody else has been awhere about this tactics from early levels. Not very pleasant to spot jumpers in the league in the beginning of the season, but some thing you just have to deal with.

At higher levels (12 and above) this becoms more like the rule than the exception, and this of cause makes things more difficult. Right now I play at level 17 and in my league I have 7 newly jumped teams. Yes, not one, two or three, but SEVEN!!! Of cause my chances of winning the league this season is, if not impossible, rather slim. So I have to decide am I accepting the situation and just move on with slim chance winning any more leagues, or will I jump?

It is not the players (jumpers) that is the problem, they are only adapting to the rules, it is the system.

I believe Nordeus has to figure some thing out in this matter to make "Top eleven" survive and keep beeing a fun game after season 12. This is not the only problem higher level players will face. Other problems are lack of good players in the transfer list.

So, should I jump or should I go?!?

He is a "jumper" from the movie -Jumper-

How to spot a jumper...
A lot of people asks how you spot a jumper.
First of all it is easiest to do in the beginning of the season. Generally "jumpers" start the campaign with a very good team most scouts and even world class.
Then you look at the following seasons result (this you do by clicking on the players team). With a scout team (6 stars, 5 yellow and 1 red) it is fair to say you should finish among top 7, right? If the team didnt make the 7th spot they deliberately avoided advancing. At least competent players with 15 or more seasons of experience.
You can find out a lot of things about other teams, like which date they where created and the trophies.

Go hunt!

I thought about tanking next season. Why? because my team wasn't that good, and, as a non buyer, i'm having problems replacing my players. Next season will be even worst, as several of my players will go down to 2 stars, and a bunch of them just reached 3 stars atm, meaning, they won't be able to get another star soon W/O power training. So i'll have to change 1/3 of the team, at least, and i can barelly buy a decent youngster ATM, for lack of money. I've been holding thanks to a good CL campaign, allowing me to buy a few decent players, but no fast trainers, so even these i just bought won't last me long.

That said, i always thought i'd be having problems this season, and so far i'm doing quite well, so i might reconsider, depending on these last days.

tanking has never occured to me... but i stopped buying tokens 2 seasons ago so as i reach the higher levels it may become a tempting option. so how would u do this? is is just a matter of simply playing an illegal formation for the entire season?

Yeh like put a striker in goals and the rest in the forward positions. dont watch your games either and if your still struggling to be ****e max your ticket prices, empty stadium no possession bonus

Illgal formation is a perfect way to tank. But remember you just have to finish 8 or below, so in the middle of the season it might be a good idea to start winning some matches and also start tanking boxes for upcomming season.
