Same here! :) My method:
-sniping young and expensive player in "morning"
-If he is worthy boost him near (with green packs and some red :rolleyes: ) to 7*
that's it :)

Dear Gods of Nordeus, can you stop hating my midfield centrals please? I offered enough red packs already to keep you satisfied. I attend the matches and I post on the forum so why oh why do you hate my MC's?
FC Knudde recieved 1 injury and 5 yellow cards for his MC's in the last 5 days (leading to 3 red cards aka 1 game suspensions). These yellow cards result in 2 suspended MC's and 1 injured. Seriously? What are the odds? One MC is now healed again but I am missing out on MC's.
FC Killroy got 6 injuries on the midfield and a red card in the last 6 days. The 2 MC's injured in one game had to be replaced by an AMC and a ST.
I hope I can please the gods somehow because it is getting ridiculous. :p
As I may only obtain several extra green packs for the whole season, it is too difficult for me to make 7 star player.
I do not power train players after they reached 6 star. So the quality of the best quality player I ever have at end of season is x2 or x7.
The players of my L25 teams are generally slow training even though the average age is 21.7. Just forget them.
The players of my L17 teams (average age 19.9) is not the best in these years on training, but almost all of them are still fast trainers before advancing to 6 star player. However, I just have about 70 green packs at present. I may not even make 1 7 star player with these stock.
1 green pack = 15% condition i.e. normal sketching for 5 times. To gain 1 sp, average progress of normal sketching should be at least 20%. I rarely have 5 star player achieving this in average in whole season. This is impossible for my 6 star players. So 1 green pack < 1 sp. 75 green packs are required to increase 1 star of a player. So I cannot even make 1 highest 5 star player to 7 star with about 70 green packs.
I feel your pain - and have suffered it myself...

Typical Top Eleven; suddenly two average defenders became super players.

Based on the the previous performances (ratings) of those 2 players. The average rating as described by Nordeus is 6.5 (can be considered as 7).

For this case, the players are rated 4 and 5 stars. So, you can be influenced by the displayed quality. But there have been cases where 2-3 star rated players suddenly acting like super players. One has been posted by SteppenWolf. The point here is when the game has decided against your team, there is nothing much you can do. Some players of the opposing team will suddenly become super players, irrespective of there quality, while your players (despite having having a good record) will suddenly 'forget' (as described by Steppen Wolf) how to play or will appear to be ineffective.
It seems that you are new here. With time, your views will change. Do you see the number and length of the vent threads; that says a lot.
Half off:
Real life vs TE
Did you get yesterday Europa League results??? As a Bilbao "fan"*** i'am heavily depressed the fact dat Zilina (yea dat was ex-hungarian city but now they got only 0.1% hungarian ppl) won at home against my fav team... And this time i'm thinking about my whining in this topic...
*** I don't support "foreign" teams but Bilbao policy is VERY likeable for me... therefore yea call me Bilbao fan :)
Arghhhhh, my league is frustrating. I finally get to first place and what happens next, 3 ties in a row. The last one is ridiculous. 2-2 where I had 23 shots with 5 on target and he had 10 shots with 3 on target. Now I have to hope I will become second. Bad ending of the season with the last 7 games against the numbers 2-7. Well at least I didn't loose those games, just 5 ties and 2 wins. Zzzz.
L25 Team, in last 7 days:
14 players injured, out for total 53 days
4 players suspended for total 5 league matches.
Tomorrow, I could not attend the matches. I will not arrange substitution myself. Less players are required. I decided not to heal the 4 players injured today and exclude all of them out of starting lineup. Unluckily, my team is still competing league champion with 2 teams which tied with my team at the top of league table.
I compare playing him to banging ones' head against a wall, painful and pointless.
I have played a lot of matches against him; my team never scored a goal against his team despite him having a striker as GK for some matches. In some matches, the ST behaved like a star GK, making a lot of saves and got good ratings. The best result I had against him is 0-0.
Many of these so called troll results that users complained about could have been fixed just the way the matches against Jose Mourinho FC have been fixed.

Suddenly, the team at first place went through a series of draws and losses. This same team was like 10-15 points clear on top about a week ago. Typical Top Eleven.
By the way, there is something that I have noticed. Teams from certain countries appear to have hidden advantages, especially for knock-out rounds. One such country is Turkey. This does not make much sense and could be a coincidence, but if ever you have noticed or will notice the same thing, it will be more likely that it is not a coincidence. For sure there are hidden advantages and disadvantages set in this game though.
I'm actually feeling pretty good. Just replying to remove Tactician from the 'most recent reply' box on the forum list. You are welcome :)
Well, that's silly. :) But okay.. this thread has no actual topic.
Up to now, three more players of my only team at Level 26 were injured today. In last 7 days, players injured for 13 times and out of action for total 50 days. There is no sign that the injury storm will slow down.
For most injuries, the players are out of action for 4 days. So they may not be able to play in 4 days, and realistically, 6 days as they need almost two full days to recover from these injuries.
My injury storm start from second half of last season. This should be longest ever I encountered. Since my team just need to play 1 official match per day for most of this period, I only heal those players who are important. My red pack balance dropped for about 100 from last season beginning. I cannot imagine how I can use so many red as I always alert myself to use them carefully.
I begin to wonder that if I do not use any red packs, even my full squad team cannot survive under such injury storm.
Occasionally I tell forum members to be patient to handle injuries. I treated injury storm as challenge in the past when my red pack balance dropped to zero. But this is the moment that I feel most uncomfortable about injuries since I play T11.
I will continue to monitor injury storm. Probably I will pull out the game soon. In this season, I have already given up my beloved young level 18 team to save my time and energy.
2 games 4 injuries with one the injuries having his shirt pulled ( again ) and two player`s sent off, this is a JOKE
General rant: I think the auction system is flawed. As the current high bidder, if you get to the knockout rounds and the runner-up places a bid with less than 1 second, there is physically not enough time to react. I think if this occurs an additional second or two should be added to the clock, or something. The only other solution as the high bidder to avoid this is to place a second bid while you are still the lead bidder, and that is incredibly wasteful.
Pretty much everyone hates getting sniped. As you say, the only way to avoid, if someone else bid, is to place a bid in the current round. Yes, it kind of sucks... but is not likely to change.
I tend to not even bid if someone has already, and wait til the last few minutes place first bid, and hope no one bid after. Also too.. I tend not to even try the TL in the first couple weeks of the season unless I am in dire need, the chances for bidding war are too high.
It's a bad old world in the TM at the moment - I bid on a player and sat watching, thinking 'I can't believe that nobody else wants this player', then with 2 seconds to go, about 4 snipers piled in - 'Whoa! I'm getting out of here...'
Having favourited the player, I could see what he finally went for - about 30% markup on his Market Value, Round 15...
The fixture schedule for league was just released. I am glad that the schedule for my level 26 team is looked okay. Not all start times of Cup/CL matches are close to those of league matches.
But this problem is switched to my semi-abandoned level 18 team. Its fixture list is shown below. Time between CL/Cup and league matches are within 5 hours. Comparing with the schedule for my level 25 team in last season, it is better because the last CL group stage match is held 4 hours 58 minutes after the league match on same day. There is high chance that my players can recover condition for twice. I really don't want this team to participate CL in this season so that I need to handle these situations.
BTW, it is weird that I still cannot watch the league table on day 3 in this season. (Edit: it was okay now )

In an auction, I had one competitor bidding. I've not seen this before, maybe I'm too new to the game, but he basically "cloned" me - changed his name, picture and team logo to mine. It got pretty confusing about who had bid in which round. I eventually bowed out of the bidding war after a few round, but this "clone" strategy was unnerving.
1. Please give PC the live match option!
2. Please give the option to make live match last the entire match.
3. Please reward League, CL, and Cup top 3 with prizes for putting in hours of hard work. a couple tokens maybe?
4. Speed up the player subs in/out commands. Five minutes of game time is way too long.
5. Please keep stats saved from prior seasons. I've got three kids and I never get the chance to screenshot everything before the change of the season.
6. At the end of the season for the top scorers/passers/rated please give a small reward. Perhaps 5 skill points?
7. Fix the reward videos so you actually receive your awards.
8. Please offer a chat option during matches. Even it's only a list of pregenerated comments like...."Change your formation to defensive" or "Sub in a DC for current player with poor rating" etc.
9. Please give the option to retire a player and keep a plaque to them in your trophy shop as a memorial. Or something similar to this.
10. Less injuries!
Nordeus, you are getting ridiculous. Seriously! I can't believe your hate towards MC's. What is this BS? Two games today. First game a red card for my MC. Second game I couldn't attend and just checked the score. My both MC and a ST injured????? Seriously? So that is 3 MC's out of the game in 1 day? Of course I can heal the MC's, thank god for that, but for the love of god, stop hating my players. This is so frustrating.
And due to the new stamina rules my player is now down to 58% after already receiving a green pack today. Tomorrow at 10 is the next game so that is a recovery of 25%. Good starting at 83% tomorrow and after the second match propably down to what, 40%? Nice rules. I will need 200 extra green packs this season apparantly or a lot of replacement players.
General Rant: Perhaps it is just down in the lower divisions, but has anybody else observed a glaring lack of DRs in the auctions? I've been looking since the last day of the previous season (so basically about 4 days) and there are so few options at DR it is kind of scary! Conversely, I'm guessing one could field a starting eleven of all DCs pretty easily :-p
To combine my last two rantings into a coherent thought stream, I just won an auction for a DR. I freely admit that I spent too many tokens, but I was testing two ideas at once, and I was willing to replace them for "science". I ignored the value the game told me for this DR because IMO his value was far, far greater given the scarcity of other options.
Here is what I did: I sniped in to be top bidder at the end of the list time, which meant I was the top bidder in the 1st knockout round. Not wanting to risk getting sniped, I immediately bid as the 1st knockout round began. My competitor bid, and we moved to round 2 with him as the top bidder. I sniped him at the end of round 2 but he had JUST enough time to get in a counter-bid. He then copied my strategy in round 3, and we actually carried this on for ten rounds! I finally wore him down and won the player, but it was nice to see that my strategy for avoiding being sniped is 100% viable and 100% recommended.
In short: if you are committed to winning an auction, are the top bidder in the knockout rounds, and want to avoid getting sniped, every new round you begin as the top bidder, place a new bid immediately. Yes, when you finally win you will have paid 1 extra token, but consider that a cost of doing business.
Got 5 more CL Group matches and 2 Cup games coming up in the next week or so.
Every single one of them is scheduled for bang on 3 hours either before or after my league games on the same day.
Totally stupid and feels very deliberate on Nordeus' part to try and get me to move some of my kick off times.
Even more annoyingly I have 3 days where I am away for both games, so can't move them at all!
I am very reluctant to give into Noredus' tactics and pay 2 Tokens to move the games. Instead I'm going to rotate, playing my best team for the harder game each day - apart from the cup which I wont be attending anyway due to its troll nature of selecting your opponents.
From my experience, some positions are harder to fill than others.
Harder: ML, MR, AML, AMC, AMR, DL, DR
Easy: GK, DC, DMC, MC, ST
If I am determined to win an auction against you, I bid once per round and keep qualifying for the next round. As cute as your plan is, being the "top bidder" doesn't make a difference. I have to quit bidding for you to win.
I don't care about snipers anymore. I decide whether I really want a player or not. If I say "yes", I dig in. I got 6 players to overhaul my bench today - I'm keeping my starters - and none of the auctions went past knockout round 6.
