    Dizzee, I don't need smooth sailing, but I can do without the frustration of maintaining a high Q team without excessive spending or wasting precious time farming. The key for me is, managing my expectations so a low Q team gives me many times more enjoyment. Also, with a strong squad, you can really only get dissappointed. I'ld rather win with a LQ team vs "stronger" opponents then just scraping by, troll after troll with a HQ team.

    This is 1 team at start of this season.

    This team is still competing for the treble, with some upgrades during the season. The upgrades were 3* free agents and 1 or 2 3 star fast trainers. I find you have way more options to play this way, as you don't have to engage in a rat race for much needed quality. (and Tokens) It easily outperforms my high Q team at the same lvl, just looking at results. This is purely because of pairing.

    I do agree with you on the matchperformance vs playerquality though.

    So play to a level of maximum enjoyment without outlandish expectations or overextending yourself, after all this is a recreational pastime!

    This part I do not agree to.
    You still have a good chance to decrease losses, same as you have to increase wins.
    Maybe my expectation is too low as this stage.

    sorry, getting trolled as often as I have been is not a recreational pastime.

    what more has to be proven to you for you to wake up and smell the coffee?

    we have shown that formations, morale, condition and tactics have little or no effect at all on results.

    the only thing left that will possibly sway you is for the owner of T11 himself to come out and say its a scam. sheesh!

I got there on lvl 3 and even more so at lvl 4. If I want(ed) to win anything this season, or the League last season, I'ld have to buy a few scouts for 50T each. I donĀ“t think so!!

    I think most players get to that point where they either spend even more on the game (repeat next season), or tank a season. IME downgrading qualitywise works too as you'll get easier draws.
    I agree. It seems to me also that everything in this game is about balancing in all aspects

    You do need scouts in your team so if like me you dont buy tokens then you will have to save them up, you should be looking to get at least 1 scout per season.

    You are right on that but i was refering in what Fugazi said about team pairing, as i see it, I think the logic of the game is the balance among opponents which is accomplished with varius ways including the rate of a team's improvement and in some point the custom access in available players to buy etc.in At the end this is reducing the outcome of all kind of efforts that a manager does, which i believe is the deep cause for the majority of complains. So what FugazI said is that he is competing in a lower Quality environment.

    I know why your losing to weaker teams....because the game is garbage, there is no reflection of anything in the actual matches....none of the stats or morale, condition, orders, etc....make any difference. I'm only in my 3 rd season and bored crapless already, what's the point of spending time working formations and tactics when it make no difference to the outcome. I walked the league in the first 2 seasons, losing 1 game and then won CL in 2nd season, playing a 4-1-3-2, so much for counter formations, the ones that are meant to counter my 4-1-3-2....got humped....the game is a waste of time, a money making machine for nordeus....
