Guidance seeking newbie

The way I play to great success is to have a full 22 man squad, play my best team in the league and my seond 11 in the CL and cup, My second 11 is an identicle team to my first just less quality.I have never got passed the 1st round of the cup but I always make the group stages of the CL and that is finr with me!, this keeps my second team playing plenty games, my first squad is free to win the league, as soon as the new season starts my winning league team becomes my second team!, my original second team is sold and a new strong squad for quality becomes my first team!, this ensures I keep in the running for the title every season, as my team is a fully scout team I am usually way ahead of any other manager in my league!, nearlly all my players are bought on the first day of the season and so I have the hole season to forget about transfers till the start of the next season.

Fair enough. My token farming isn't quite at your level (Carousel hasn't been working for me for a week or so ), though I usually manage 5 or 6 farmed tokens a day, which means I'm budgeting on buying 2 scouts next season. Getting put in such an easy league this season means I can afford to put my 2nd XI out each game (my overall squad currently has 1 world class, 3 scouts, 14 5*s and 4 4*s so not too shabby). And the extra cash from the knockouts means that next season I'll be better able to afford Nordgens when they come up at auction.

Afraid I have to disagree with all of you...it's my personal opinion that you should have 2 teams, but that you should assess which of the games requires the stronger/weaker team depending on the quality of opposition/situation.

I find you can play the entire group stage of the CL with a second team and still qualify, but will play a first team if my league opposition is weak that day.

I almost always play a first team in the cup, as the rewards are significantly higher than the league. Unless it's a top-of-the-table clash.
I'm always in a league with 4/5 of my friends, so it's always very competitive. I realise others don't always have that.

Lol I don't quite think you realise my 2nd team is probably good enough to win the league aswell lol, it to is a team with 10 previous scouts from the year before! So all but one of the players has a special ability!, the downside is I get drawn against teams 3-4 levels highet in the prelims of the cup as my team is so strong.
