I won the league yesterday with 4 games to go. Beat the team in second 3-0 at home to go 13 points clear. That's my 7th league title in a row. Just did a LYON. Also the semi of the champions league is all but won. I won the first leg 4-0 away from home. Don't see him coming back from that. Good luck everyone.

Will sell the players in 3 days when the market is hot. I might buy one more player if a damn AML/AMC comes up on the list.

What sucks is that I have been trying to win, but can only come close. It seems that if you get in a rut of losing, your guys will take a lot to get out of it. Both teams I am tanking are having a hard time winning when I want them to, but at this point, it is only to get that extra blue pack instead of getting nothing.
Most of the players should be up around 5* when the first day of the season rolls around.
That should give me a good cup draw and a good chance to win the league, even if a tommy shows up, since I should be able to compete a bit better with a team of 5/6*.
With all those red packs you should be fine against any amount of injuries they throw at you next season, : )
How long did it take to spare so many ??
that`s nothing i have 305 reds with 7 more arriving tomorrow :)Quote:

Better to have them than to not have them - ;)
Oh by the way, I've noticed that it's never good to heal up all of your injured players (even if you have the packs).
Keeping at least one injured player in your squad, tend to make the engine give you some sort of "immunity" against further injuries... Has any of you noticed this as well ?
My experience during the past 3 seasons has been, as soon as my last injured player is healed, I'm guaranteed to have another injury in the next 1 and/or 2, 3 matches. And every time I let at least one of them stay injured, I'm OK til the whole duration of his injury.
If I heal him up, I'm guaranteed again to get someone else brake something during the next 2 days...
It really can't be a coincidence.
711 skill points! :OQuote:

i have 1465 skill saved for next season but won`t add on till i see the league (don`t care about cup ) then i`l add where needed but if i have like last season 4/5 scout teams then i`l donk the seasonQuote:

That is an instant *! One goes from 55Q to 60Q, and the other from 56Q to 61Q. Since I am tanking, that means they go to 5* and stay there for the season. They will most likely keep their 5* the next season after that and would be easy 6* if I tanked the next season too.Quote:

That is true. But it gives you a better cup draw apparently.Quote:

The only reason I couldn't win this Cup is because I was the only lvl 3 manager in the competition against mostly lvl 5's, and this even by starting the season with 4/5* players (no scout).
I find this selection system quite messed up to be honest...
I think it is the only way to make things somewhat fair. It groups together the scout buyers and only by wasting a ton of money can you get around it. There was one idiot that sold his whole team and bought the worst players so he would be in a low cup draw, then replaced them all with scouts once the cup was drawn. What a waste of money and brains. and yes he won, which is basically cheating. I remember the goof saying that it wasnt cheating, but playing by the rules set by Nordeus. But at the end of the day, it is not playing fair and sportsman-like, so it is cheating.Quote:

If you do sell all your good players, at the end of the season, you'll have plenty of cash to spend in the next, so that bit is settled. What can still be a problem is tokens to buy those players. If however you aim for old and unwanted high Q players, mostly with no skill (since they are useless anyways) then you should be able to do this for a rather low quantity of tokens (I'm thinking 1 to 5 tokens per player max, so some 30 tokens to buy 11 players.) It's easily doable, again if you have the time and patience.
But, yes, I can understand how it could be seen as cheating...
But it really is the opposite of fair... Right now, if I train my squad during the season and get scouts out of them, I'm penalized for the next season, because I'll be facing higher level teams. But, if decide to maintain a crappy squad to avoid this, then I'm also penalized but this time in the current season...Quote:

I really don't find it fair. : (
A solution would be to simply mach up same quality AND same level teams. With all the people playing this game, I thought they wouldn't find enough teams to do this if they really wanted to.
Ok, so you have tons of in-game $$$ from the sale of your players, but you have to keep at least 14 of them and then buy and sell and buy and sell, etc. until you have a ton of 3* players, which is the minimum you can buy on the transfer list I think, depending on your server. There might be the opp to buy 2*, but I cant remember seeing any.Quote:

SO you will be spending at least $50-100 REAL cash to do buy the tokens to do this. IS winning a trophy this was so important that you will waste money like this to do it? I think its fuking stupid.
It is not seen as cheating, it IS cheating.
Of course not! And I agree, THAT would be damn stupid. The guy you mentioned, probably did it that way... But in my post above, I'm suggesting a different and much cheaper way to get a pretty close result.Quote:

my last 3 games and a two horse race level on point`s but i have a +5 on goal diff second are slight favorites as i have two teams fighting it for champions league spot where 5 teams are playing for final two spots
mine them
5th away lost 1-0 11th away drew 1-1
6th home 4th home
11th away 10th away
boom second drew meaning they are now top by 1 point, my game was at 2pm but oppo changed game time to 9-13pm the git, don`t matter as i`ll still be there, he can change to 4am if wishes i`l just set alarm lol
I find it funny that there are millions of accounts but they have a hard time putting together leagues with managers of the same level as you get higher in level.Quote:

But that is solved by freezing rosters. But of course, Nordeus makes their money off of the constant changing of rosters with tokens, so that will never happen.
You will have to just suck it up and accept that this is the best way they can make the cup. Regardless of level, quality is the only way to group teams.
dam lost 1-0 again dominated even one of their player`s was out of position and then i get injury yet again while subbing they score with only shot of game so that means i`m 1 point behind leaders with two game leftQuote:
