    How Great Managers Should Be Really Judged...

    Let's face it anyone can buy/farm lots of tokens each and every season to make their team very strong and then become too strong for mediocre teams and more often than not win all the trophies...

    July Fourth and many other teams have bought and farmed their way to success over 30 seasons and this proves no thing whatsoever. There is no real satisfaction in winning when your team is usually expected to win the League/CL/Cup each season.

    But what about playing through each and every season just on the TV rights budget and never farming any extra booster packs, A lot of managers here already do this because they cannot farm due to regional restrictions and they will refuse or not choose to buy any tokens.

    There would be only 2 ways to find out what you can do by playing on the strict TV rights budget with no booster farming.

    1. A solo play through from Level 1 by creating a new team and playing each match to win and only tank in hugely undesirable and poor seasons or never tank at all.

    2. Joining the http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...rs-league.html and playing with other active forum members at the same time.

    What do you think is the best way to judge a managers success. Should it only be based on limited resources?

    I feel even 35T league is not the correct parameter to judge a manager.

    There are too many loop holes in this game which can be easily exploited to win trophies. So there is no way to judge a manager.

    There is no way to know whether a player will perform good or bad. Suppose 2 manager have only 1 token both buy a Striker of age 18 ( who have played o games )and one performs like a Boss while the other is a Dud...One is injury prone while the other never gets injured...etc etc etc...

    So is there was anything the manager how bought the Dud Striker can do...The answer is a big NO......

    That means a lot of luck will also be involved in 35T a season too, like getting favourable league/cl/cup draws. Injuries, Troll Results, Auctions and bidding wars etc... It's how you deal with it as best as you can.

    If you buy/farm hundreds and thousands of tokens it makes everything a whole lot easier for you. You can power train your team, Buy scouts and heal injured players often, on 35T a season... These things are not really available or are very, very limited.

    What about the amount of time dedicated to the game...Its also a very big factor...

    If your constantly visiting the transfer market you can find good players and can recruit them with less tokens...While who cannot dedicate much time to game they will tend to bid for players even if there no good options available.

    Like me I am always online visiting transfer market regularly which helps me in recruiting good players with less tokens. Just like today I recruited a Nordeus Generated for only 2 tokens...

    Yeah... You would have to be more active in building your squad and looking at the transfer market and also watching all your games live... Of course some can only play this game casually or they have real life commitments they must put first.

    Yeah its absolutely the truth that its not difficult to be successful with lots of tokens.
    But thats how this game works and in real life its pretty much the same. (unfortunately).

    So you think token buyers should be given credit when they win everything every season?
