Don't buy scouts before Day 3

[Raykco]

Just a warning for anyone considering buying scout players before the season gets under way. It is better to wait until day 3 when the league set ups are announced. Never assume you will be playing in your own manager level league, and therefore buying scouts too early can be a waste of game money, and tokens.

For example. Say you are manager level 8. It is so easy to think "I'll buy a couple of scouts to boost my team before the cup starts". Great. But then what happens on Day 3 when you find that you've been put in a level 9 league? Those scouts you bought won't be good enough. Remember, if you are in a league above your managerial status, your scout list will then contain 7* players instead of the normal 6*.

So my advice is: wait a couple of days to see what league you're in before parting with money and tokens on scouts.

^^ Thanks for this! I've been wondering this for a number of seasons now. This pretty much confirms that the best day of the season to buy scouts is DAY 3.

Excellent advise

Is it possible to be a manager promoted from 7 to 9directly?

No. You can't be promoted 2 managerial levels, but you CAN be put in a league that is higher than your own (similar to the cup).

So I was in level 17 manager in a 17 league last season. I placed 5th and so was promoted to level 18. Today (first day of season), none of my players lost a star, and the scout list of 6*s are the same quality points (105-109) as my last season.

This seems to imply that I've already been placed in a level 17 league (as an 18 manager)

There were 3 level 18 managers in my 17 league last season, who also got promoted. So my league this season is probably going to be those 3 19s with a bunch of 18s (several 18 managers last season failed to promote) in a 17 league.

Is there never a sever balance? It seems to be getting pretty thin at the top.

when they have more than 64 team at level 18+, a new league 18 will be generated
