How can I lost???

[Jimmy Carter]

Hi guys... Currently I'm level 5 and playing my 5th season. I have just lost 1-0 to a opponent who has about 10 quality points lesser than me!! Really can't understand that!!
My quality points is 39.5 and my opponent is 27.4. How does he beat me?? I really don't understand..
I really don't understand how Nordeus determine who win a match!!
Do you guys face similar situation before? How do you guys cope with it?

I have 2-3 star players in my team who starts matches and is still performing consistently. Number of stars does not equal to guaranteed performance.

Then what does guarantee performance?
How do we identify that the players we want to buy can have good performance?

This is the point. Nothing can guarantee a good performance. There are no guarantees. My little 3* referral team is sweeping all before it in leagues and cups and my 'properly managed' team is up n down like the proverbial knickers. So maybe the guarantee to a good performance is keep me away from the team?

I know a person who bought a coffee machine for Nordeus, and is not winning a treble every season.

How about u post pics of the formations u both used? Maybe we can have a better understanding of how and why u lost..
And, it happens that weaker teams beat stronger, what would the game be if it was only about quality...

Welcome to TE Yen N Yik! You are lucky to have had your first troll in Season 5
My record is currently loosing to team 15 qualities below me 2-0 on 99% morale and condition.

From experience, player with higher quality doesn't always mean they will perform better; I have scout players who are constantly on 4-5 rating no matter which position they play within their radius.
And you might be surprise to see some 3*/4* are out-performing scouts and having 8-9 ratings every game. So this is probably why some still keep their old player.

I generally sell off all players with lower ratings (except scouts, can't find the courage to sell them), and I try to check their rating before bidding for the player.

Back to your match, i do find some counter formations works some times, and backfires at times. And if you are referring to July Forth's Counter Chart, that is probably slightly outdated.
If I have the time, what I do is check the historical matches of that opponent, to see what formation had he lost to.
And he had changed his formation, then I will check the all historical matches (league, CL, Cup) to see if the formation he used was beaten by another formation, checking that opponents stats as well.
If all fails (some counter formation won and lost at different games), then i will post it in the forum to seek help.

Hope this helps.

Great info. Thanks for the encouragement.
I see. I will start seeing the player's ratings before I buy them. But most of the time, the ratings column of the players in the market are 0. Means the team they are with now does not play them. So, I think that's probably the reason their team want to sell them. Then I will not know how they perform. What do you think about this matter?
And for reality, some players does not do well in A team but after they transfer, they can do well in B team. Does that apply to top eleven too?
