Season 51

[kynan]

Not the best start to the season for me. Got a more than good enough team, yet the results aren't coming. Two wins, a defeat and a draw from my first four games of the league put me in 4th at the moment. Not confident in the game engine to not troll me out as the season grows so I'm reluctant to use any Tokens to improve my team as I still believe it to be more than good enough to finish in the top 7 and get promotion.

Trolled in the first Cup game of the season, held to a 1-1 draw against a team playing an illegal formation with players out of position, before beating him 4-0 in the return leg after he played a legal formation with players in the right position. Go figure. Then drew 1-1 away and 2-2 at home in the next round to go out on away goals, his goals coming in the 85th and 87th min.

Two for two so far in the Champions League even though I've rotated my squad for that one.

I've one player who is mid 8 star quality, two that are 6 star quality, nine that are 5 star, with the rest at high 4 star quality after going all out about 4 seasons ago blowing all my farmed Token budget to make a super team. While I hold little confidence in the game engine I'm just going to patch up my team for the following few seasons, replacing players when they get to 3 star quality with 5 star players. I feel this will be more than adequate to keep my team promoted for successive seasons, while costing me very little in Tokens to maintain.

Dropping in and out of having time to farm Tokens, but I'm hoping to take as much advantage as I can to farm a huge pile so that I have a nice Arsenal to fall back on when the time comes. I currently sit with 4,400 Tokens in my account so I am pretty content that if the farming dries up soon I have more than enough to keep me strong for the foreseeable future. My main aim at the moment is to just keep taking advantage of the Token farming and putting myself in a better position for later seasons. Hopefully by then the game engine will have been worked on for a better smoother game.
