Hi,
I am little bit disappointed with the strategy of the game that is based on buying the players almost every season ... Anyway, I am level 3 and last season I bought some of quite expensive players but now when the star went away, I am considering selling him or keeping.
For example, last season I bought a player for 900 thousand $. He was 5* but now 4* . Would you sell him and buy another 5* player for 1 mil or keep him as substitute?
You are on level 3 so you don't need full squad of 5-6 stars. Keep them if you don't buy tokens.
When do you need a full 5* 6* squad? In higher levels ? I've just have terrible bidding , I won in 20. round ,,, I guess in higher leagues it is even more .... it seems to be the higher league the more money you need to invest if you want to be competitive
In early levels u can win league with 5* or 4* players. But id keep in mind when bringing in new signings to buy young, fast trainers and they will see you good few fews seasons with the right training.some teams have managed to keep players their whole careers.
That's why managers try to people fast trainers ending in there 4, 9 at the start of the season...:)...
If you are not a toke buyer- do NOT waste your tokens on going 20 rounds (hell, even if you ARE a token buyer don't do it). The higher up you go, I have found, the LESS tokens I need to spend for the better players. It's all about getting the young, fast trainers that are near a new skill point. If you find good ones, they can last you for many seasons (I have a player that is now 26, bought when 18 and is still the best in the league).
Don't spend that much tokens per auction. I have bought 9 five stars players this season for 13 tokens :DQuote:

I don't understand how can a player be good for more than 2 seasons. Or how much did he cost , 3 mil ? Because I had some good 4* that got 5* until the end of the season, but now he is 4* again and it will take maybe 24 days to be 5* , but how can he be competitive in the early season against 5* ?
But how do you know whether the opponent will fight or not , I know I can look at his budget and overall strength of the team , but I don't know how much tokens he is going to use
As t11_fan says, always check the skills as well. Try to get a defender whose defending skills are +10 his star rating and a midfielder and attacker who is +10 attacking skills above his ratings. Most of these will perform well.
Hi,I'm level a 16 level manager for this season (season 18).
I passed my first 4 levels (4 seasons) with my initial team,but I passed level 4 only at 5 place.
I tanked level 5 for 2 season (10 and 9 place,behind only to bot-robot teams),because my team was getting retired and players had no more motivation.So i started changing my team structure, and I obtained a 3 place,a 2 place and 9 first places in my last 11 seasons (11 promotions in row).
Quality level gap is not so clear from level 1 to 3,some problems might occur in level 4,from level 5 you should care if the decrease of stars for a player is followed by a decrease of performance in the new season...
yes but how do I know how much tokens can I risk per a player :)
@Felix11sk If Opponent has players with 6 stars and special ability at the start of season then he buys tokens.
Look on opponents archievements and trophys tab, if he has lot of them, then he is active player for sure.
Take care of your team, don't think too much about opponents, you'll have time for every one.
Last season my team played against opponent that had lot of good players, but his squad completly lacked dm, am and wm.
He was forced to play 4-3-3 so i used 4-1-4-1 and crushed him 5-0 away in first match, 3-1 in second.
I had used many formations last season, played against strong teams and won cup, 3rd in CL and 2nd in liga.
Variety of good players for every position is key, then you will be able to prepare for every opponents position and counter it.

You'll learn to judge that form experience. On auction you can't know how much tokens someone have.
Buying good player helps saving tokens.
My LB plays his 3rd season at the club, although he used to be first 11 player, he's now reserve, but has 5 stars so for me is still useful.
Young GK which I have bought at beginning of the last season now has 68 rating (5*), 77 def. and i plan to use him for next 2-3 seasons.
Ideally you want your core players (GK DM MC ST) to be fast trainers so you can throw whatever green packs you earn or generate at them for extra training and even on a 35T Team you can get several seasons out of them, play them every match you can to keep them earning SP. :D
When you buy Gk and CB, look for one with strong defensive stats (5+), for AM and ST look at attacking stats. That is important for older players because they have slow growth. Other positions need all stats equally strong or with small differences (under 5)
i total new but if your player still preform good then quality don't matter i have two ST of 35Q and 21Q cant say who is the best as both are score and assist as the same
If you can find a player that you can train fast enough that they increase one star per season, that player will stay at the same number of stars for your team until the their training rate decreases.Quote:

Buy fast trainer gk, cb and st. You can easier train them to be useful few seasons, because you train only needed skills; for gk-def skills, cb-def and physical, st-att and physical. When you train them completly, your st should have 15-20 higher attack and physical rating than defensive.
Buy mildfielders which are strong, but not expensive and young, they need all skills so its harder to train them to be useful for few seasons
