Simple - don't do it.
Decided to take the win bonus off in a CL group match as I needed some extra funds, and the opponent's team were 3 stars lower in every position.
This is what happened.

I don't know wether to be mad or just annoyed. ;)
Lesson learnt - Win bonus to max or don't bother :P
Whats your teams Q and the other teams Q? ;p just doing some research
My team were all 6/7 stars, his were 3/4 stars.
Started off with a 4-4-2 Hex playing his 4-4-2 Flat, swapped out to a 4-1-2-1-2 ND when I went 1-0 down.
I don't know wether the result is because of OP 4-4-2, or the win bonus - either way, I got trolled there :')
see, that the real problem :P nordeus change something to give low Q team advantage, i dont know why. check the other threads, people everywhere getting it.
I know, I've always got troll results every now and then, but I think this proves how crucial it is to use win bonuses, it seems to give a massive bonus if one team has it and the other doesn't, as I assume he had his set to max.Quote:

I must have a team of scout mercenaries who only play for the money ;)Quote:

Stats say I had a ton of corners - the commentary didn't list a single one either.
Can't afford to finish 2nd in my group as there's quite a few token buyers in my CL who I expect will finish 1st, so I need to pray I don't get hit by another troll result like this.
Dont have them turned on full stop! only in the LG, this explains why I never win it lol.
Haha...once you offer a player a win bonus, he'll refuse to play unless he gets it every game - that explains it!Quote:

I've never bothered, as it's all part and parcel of the game.Quote:

Just have to get over it and move on, but I'm glad I've learnt something from this match, and Glen Johnson can spend some time on the bench for his sins; getting ripped to shreds by a 3 star ML, pffffft.
In my opinion you didnt lost because of the winning bonus. Just a ocasional troll result.
I only used that once, and i lost the game.
Last season won LEAGUE and CL, both undefeated without win bonus, and i wasent the stronguest team in any of those competitions.
I wouldnt either if I was getting say 10K to win a match then all of a sudden it stopped id be like screw you lol!. I sort of guessed it was something like that!, anyway the settings for bonuses is crap! it jumps to high! you need to be able to set it to whatever amount you see fit!.Quote:

sorry hun no offense just type before I think !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think once you use it you have to continue !!!!!
Guess I am lucky that I won all my games so far without a bonus. Had it on last season in the later stages. Will turn it on again right away :)
never used win bonus, seem to be doing just fine :)
3 seasons ago i played around 10 matches with bonus for win, i won only 1 game...
in last season all games played without bonus, i won league and cup, in cup i had 11 wins and 2 draws
also few seasons ago i had bonus but never more bonus for win, this not works
It was just a troll result. Nothing to do with winning bonus. I haven't noticed ANY difference in team performance while playing either with zero or with max bonuses.
Because we won the league so comfortably last time, I rewarded my players by increasing the win bonus for this season. Now, with the higher amount, we are 12th in the league with 1 point from three games. And overall, we have had 1 win from 7 in all competitions.
Whenever I paused the win bonus flow, I have payed it the nasty result way :P
lol can't believe that some people think win bonus matters
dont know about that, I won my league level 10 last year with no win bonus. I have no win bonus on any of my leagues but have a minor win bonus on cup and CL and came in 3rd in cup past 2 seasons with same account.Quote:

Never turned on win bonuses for Go Leo. I did try twice when I was up against one of my main rivals and didn't do much difference, in fact, team played poorly. So I can safely declare that my team is not a bunch of mercenaries :p
I keep them on at a minimum for CL & Cup, but I don't see the effect
My bonus is stuck at Level 2 prices for Cups. 7 levels later I look at the new minimum rate, laugh and carry on as is. No bonus for League matches and always in top 4. The randomness and inconsistency in matches makes the bonus scheme a farce
You get people used to bribery. they won't work without it! Such mercenaries :D
I totally agreeQuote:

Win bonus is useless I guess...
On my GF's team, because I knew she couldn't qualify for the finals in CL, I turned off the win bonus...
2nd last game, 1st half was losing 2-0...
Then I changed the formation and... wtf won 2-3!
Playing against the first of the group and in an away match!
Today I played agaist a friend, who before the match did a friendly agaist me so he could counter my formation..I won the friendly 4-2..
But in the league, lost 3-2, obviously he changed his formation since the friendly... My win bonus was set to 600K.. Lost the game and the
league lead.
So win bonus is useless.. Countering formations and strategies is what it matters...
It will probably be a coincident, but since I turned on the win bonus in the Cup and Cl in last/current round I am loosing all my matches in the league; where I never use winbonus, dropping from 1st to 5th. I've turned it off again, as I always thought it was useless.
Oh, btw, I did get through to the next rounds in the Cup/CL.
That's interesting...
Maybe in my GF's case, by turning win bonus off, the players thought "****, if we don't play well, no more benefits!"
and they played their lives out of it lol
I usually turn on win bonuses for away matches in the cup and CL...
I'm still 2nd in the league and I will turn off win bonus to see what happens... But more and more, I believe formation and orders is key in this game.
