    2-0 at halftime after a 5-1 first leg so looks like Trinity are through to the quarter finals. We've also picked up another bargain with the winter transfer window due to slam shut in a couple of days.

    I knew that lol, Just theres no windows on this game, we will all be buying and selling players most of the time on here, I usually have most my transfer deals done on day 1, Its unlikely I buy anything afterwards, sometimes I buy a new player during a season and sometimes a may sell a player during the same season, but normally keep a base squad through a season.

    You seemed to take me seriously lol. I usually do the same as you, transfers early in the season, but I found two great bargains this season in the last few days, I've paid about 50M less than their combined market values for them. If I were to sell them on now, I'd be making about that much, but they've got tremendous training speed, worth 80M and 94.4M and my previous highest valued player was not even 70M. I'll sell them at the start of next season, their value will drop a little but I'll still make a profit, not to mention the others I signed on day 1 and 2, about 10 at least are worth over 50M and I paid maximum mid-40s, also paid 30M+ for players worth over 40M.

    Back on topic, though, it's a top of the table clash for me in about 10 hours, if I win at home, I'll leapfrog this double account player and be 2 points ahead in first place. Any last minute advice? He plays a pretty defensive narrow 4-1-3-2. I have players to play everywhere except wingbacks. Probably will continue with asymmetrical formations to focus on a certain section of his defence.

    Looking like a 3-5V-2 formation may be the answer, a narrow 4-1-3-2 sounds like you need to play on the wings. I know you like your 3 at the back, so its nothing new for you.

    I like your way of management on a low number of tokens proving people out there you can compete and win trophies against the best managers out there, obviously no scout players in your team is the only draw back, I'm not sure how you would do against me if we were in the same league. once this "power training" wears off my playing squad, my team would have a similar quality rating to your team because your 1 level higher than me, my 6* players look like 5* on your game. If i'd started top eleven a month earlier or you a month later, we would be the same level, Just imagine if in your Level 15 League you had a manager with a squad average quality of 99.1, thats where I would be.

    I played the game mostly without donating myself until start of last season, then I decided I want to see what its like to have a "power squad", I had lots of scouts before because of all the videos i could watch, sometimes 400+ tokens/season

    I have never played on a 35 tokens/season budget though, but I'm doing that sort of thing with a second account.

    This is what I've come up with.

    Season 36-tott-clash.jpg

    His DR is the weakest of his defenders, from right to left, they are 91, 92, 92, 94, so I'd like to attack that, and I'd rather not touch his DL at all.

    3-5-2V sounds pretty good, but I'd prefer 3-6-1, ST moved back to AMC maybe. I think my formation is pretty close to a 3-6-1, but as I'm only attacking on one side, I've changed the AMR, who would have been attacking the DL, to an ML to support on the left. Left sided MC has tucked in to better mark his MCs zonally. Right sided DC has then moved out to DR so that the formation stays legal, he will still mark the left sided ST, which was his original task.

    I'm touched that you remember and take note of my style; 3 at the back, shoestring budget, etc. I can develop a few low 6*'s but I prefer not to because I believe it'll be easier to sell the player near the top of his star range rather than at the bottom of the next one, I might get some negotiations as well. I can beat a few scout teams, but you're an experienced tactician and a serious manager as well, so you'd confine me to second place for sure.

    I think I was very lucky to be placed in an old server, though. I must be some way from the higher levels of my server, so plenty of 5* players on auction, and no need to pay tens of tokens for just one player.
    God Bless!
