Jumpers

[Peter Pirsten]

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?!?

Kick they're buts and win!

[flatthg]

btw. I would call them Bunkers not Jumpers ;-)

[Peter Pirsten]

Maybe that is more correct!

i dont understand it at all. the only thing i can think is that they want to win a league at every level which is a bit pointless. unless there is a 'premier league' and i mean, the top, top level, there is no point. the aim of this game imo, is to achieve promotion, league titles are just a bonus. i would consider the cups more important than league titles, with promotion the most important thing. but i guess other people have different goals, upto them.

if someone could explain their reasons?

If you are a non token buyer it becomes difficult to replace 7-8 players in a single go on a new season. It is way easier to do so tanking as whatever moment you spot a good youngster you can freely take him in and train, without worrying about him losing a star in few days. Even on day 28/28 a good young is still the best you'll find also next season. It works awesomeley when you're able to build a team of 18-19 yo fast trainers. My friend Baku storm stopped buying tokens and tanked one season with an average age of 19.2 years. The following season he had a full scout team with no expenses nor PT, this one hald of his team is high end 5* and the rest regained the scout levele. 3 seasons without buying a token, with 2 titles and 2 CLs.

how can you tell it's deliberate? Watched them tank? i am just wondering if maybe some genuinely just missed promotion?
i agree though it seems a weird thing to do

I think the thing is, grew up young Players from Academy, and save money for another season to buyout a lot of scout players and win the cup and cl easy. That's the only point in not take the next league.

no, to win the cup, better try to buy nothing one season and get promoted, sell all your player and buy 3* player---> buy scout, you can improve your first 11 about 10 Quality (15 if you buy scout) just the 1st day of season, and now your chance in the cup is gigatic as you are better than even token buyer at least 5 Q
