i am not a very experienced top eleven manager (only level 5) but i am playing constantly for the past 20 years various football manager games (the first i ever played was in 1992 a primitive game with the title ''one - nil) so i consider myself an expert. without question the tactical part of top eleven is a crap. i read in this forum about formations, counter tactics etc and in my opinion it's a waste of time. by trying to find the best formation etc is like giving credit to ''nerdeus'' that they don't deserve. i dont believe that there are many things that we can do in order to change the final outcome. the best team with the best eleven players in the end is going to win the titles. sometimes if the quality difference isn't big it's possible for the second or the third strongest team to win a title but thats it. no room for ''Bradfords'' here. it's possible for a level 5 team to win a level 8 team once but its impossible to win the cup. i believe that nobody would like a game that a weak team could lift a trophy. i also believe that token buy players are facing a little more difficulties (unlucky results, injuries etc) in order to spend more money but in the end these players have the strong teams and these players win the titles.
