Do you manage two or more teams at once?
Is there more or less enjoyment, or frustration or pressure when managing more than one team at the same time, especially if fortunate to be playing league and both cups in the season?
With additional playing time, do you get a greater chance to experiment more, or do you find your teams being built and playing similar formations?
Any advice to a newbie wanting to start a second team?
I manage 4 teams... But you do find that it is a lot more demanding and you end up being stuck around the game more often than you want to be but ofc... you get more experience quickly as you can use experience to help you improve your management style for your main account.Quote:

I used to play different formations on both the id's earlier but later switched to similar formations...
If you have time in your hand and patience to manage both of your team's equally then go ahead...
It is nice to experiment for sure. I have a few teams beside my my team, I play them all a little differently. The last one I started benefited from what I have learned on the others. I have time to kill right now, when I don't have so much time it might be hard to manage so many properly. Certainly having a team to play friendlies against at will has been helpful!
Gee not enough time in my life too do that :eek:
Yeah I've no kids or adorable grandkids to take up all my time.... :D
I play with three teams, I was bored with only two so yes, it is more enjoyable for me. Four would probably be a bit of a burden. One of them I play on 35 tokens per season ( I just won a cup with that team so that was very, very enjoyable :) ) and don't take any booster offers either. With the other two I periodically farm tokens and boosters although I have slowed down drastically on those since it was becoming time consuming, just videos now..
Thanks all. I suppose it came become time consuming, the higher up you progress and the deeper you advance into the cup games.
You obviously cannot play with one core team in a squad of 22, but two teams with the odd player or 2 making up the shortfall, when playing two matches per day for, say 22days.
Add to that two other teams and the count jumps to 66 to 70 games in a season (?????), excluding friendlies and experimental games.
How deep into the opposition players and tactics do you actually delve? Or is it just the central fielded DC/MC/ST players.
This weekend I have to give up three teams and stay with two only.
All promoted to Level three ( one first, three second and one fighting for fourth. Lost two cup finals and two C L semifinals.)
HOW TO DECIDE?? draw straws.
And its just getting into spring, cool evenings, colds beer and the ipad. Perfect time for for evening natches and prep work for the next days games. AAARRRGGGGG.
I enjoy playing with my 2 teams in diferents levels, but some days is dificult to do the Daily training and shearch for good players. Sometimes also happens having 2 games at the same time.
Today i have do prepare 2 cup finals and fight for top 4 with one of them.
@ DiZZ Are you an ozzie? :p
With the alt teams if I have time I examine the opp. teams, but when not, just glance at the module & overall quality and take a guess how I want to play against. My little teams usually get knocked out of Cup pretty fast, but I have won CL with one of them. :)
I also do not have a lot of player turnover, I always try to buy guys that will last awhile in the team.
I am lucky to have more than one computer so games on at the same time bother me not.
Good luck and best wishes. Tell us what the results were.Quote:

Makes the game easier when you can pass older 2/3* players down the line and they become 5* players again.
How do I tell if they are?
One team is appears to be based in East Asia, one in South America, two Europe and the fifth is the ipad Lets Play bot robots.
I can send gifts to each other, but that option I save only if I have missing items.
The pipeline idea was the initially intention, but the effort to grow the teams is time consuming. I hate to give up the teams but have no choice.
One and a half months of this was great, but there is no way I can carry on.
if you can support them in game matches you are on the same server.

LOL... that is almost impossible, as I am busy playing the game.
The only time I am using both the PC and Ipad is ....wait for it....when I am play two games at the same time.:mad:
What you are saying ( sing here...is give peace a chance)
What you are saying is that I must be logged onto as the other user and see if the game scrolls in.
you can play 2 games at the same time with different browsers, you dont need 2 computers to do so.
I have 2 computers and have 2 teams on one with EI and Chrome, while the other computer has IE, Chrome and FFox teams.
I deleted IExploder a long time ago. Chrome I only use for one team, primarily for videos it works, as it crashes often during game play..
DiZZee You could try that though to see if your teams are on the same server.
I normally only play on iPad, only use pc and iPad whend i play a friendly between them.
Not often this season, since i have a abandoned friend Team to practice.
Dman2pt, other than the missing ave total to opposition skills being on the same page and the own player transfer clock, what else is missing, when comparing to pc.
Oh and does the left foot right foot make a difference?
I manage to conquer both cups!Quote:

Both of the cup finals were played After 1 league game with less then a hour between the games, what is always complicated, but the wins taste better.
I do miss the top scorers in the league, top assistantes and top performers.Quote:

The foots only make a diference whend to select the Best players to mark free kicks on the right or on the left, but i normaly use my MR/ML and problem solved.
U f fat b*st*rd, congr*ts.
Well done. May U have many more victories. And less injuries
Bottoms up, and all!!!
Ah ha
Do you use L foot from right and vice verse for free kicks.(have to learn from the MASTERS).
My FK takers are freeking useless!!! Could do better with a 3i, at least it keeps low and hooks:mad:
Thats my first option, but i change it to see how it works better, in my second Team i also use my 5*DC, is pretty good.
I have a FKS but is special ability does not work. For what i could see in this 3 months, SA only seems to works on 5* players or higher, unless you are playing against very weak teams.
I still have to learn a lot, but i am trying to find out what are points of quality that makes the player for some kind of SA, because player do not grow in the same way. You can give SP to defence, atack or FM but can not choose in witch of the 5 parameters to grow.
So i am trying to find out, who that happens, i started with the scout list, since they all have SA created by the system, but still did not manage to find any conclusion.
4 teams...actively play 2 and semi-active on the other 2
I play the semi-active teams as 0 token teams. I refuse to spend tokens on new players. I purchase the 0 token player from the youth academy. When the season ends, players retire and contracts aren't renewed. This forces the game to give me new players so that I have 14 players under contract. I then sign the expired contracts and release anyone I need to get to 22 players. I've only done this for 3 seasons, and both teams will be advancing to level 4 this weekend.
Also: Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Apple Safari are the four browsers for the 4 teams.
