On my level that buys 3 players with a little change leftover.Originally Posted by ADHisham
If there wasn't enough of the same level managers for the draw to be even, managers from the level below in 8th spot are added. In higher levels this happens more often but it can happen whenever there isn't enough to make the last League of a level (and can even be lower placed if high q team)
Cup started well for BvB:

Good start for us in CUP, 4-0, hopefully tomorrow we will score more goals!
Ready,well I learned even after 3 treble in a row it's possible get kicked ass in 3d cup round but as I won all league n cl games I was alright with it,cup to win is nice but after 3 treble before it's no Must anymore,but ofc nice
Team still 7 star quality with 3 player 9 star,both striker and goalie,so the double is a must,would be no good season if not,doesn't have to be all games to win like last season butyea double should be.
Budget nothing to mention this season about 50T but a 7 star average team doesn't need any improvement.
Let's go n see
Good luck to all
Lvl 18 I'm ready

I've had to do friendlies lol as my cup game is 19:49 gmt.
What have you learned from last season?
* If I want to keep detail records of competitions, I must remind myself to capture screens before season end.
* The competition prizes of L10 team and L18 teams are very close. But the wage cost difference is huge.
Update on 14-2-2015
Some further recent observations through L19 team:
* In these seasons, wages & match bonuses increase quickly while competition prizes, sponsorship, and even player values increase slowly. Now it is silly to train players solely aiming at selling him with a better price.
* While it's not easy to save little money on buying players or maximize revenue on selling players, money can be easily spent on win bonuses. A winning team may be sooner to face financial crisis.
* I finally realize that ticket income is not unimportant. If stadium is not upgraded when the team is still financially healthy, a team will probably bankrupt earlier (unless there is investment).
* Average ratings no longer clearly indicate competitiveness of teams. Average rating ratio for a 5* to a 4* L19 team, say 114:109, is not large. Moreover, many teams have strong starting lineup but average rating is lowered because of some low star back up players.
Where did you place last season?
L10 Team - 2nd in league
L18 Team - 3rd in league
Both teams were knocked out early in CL & Cup
What's your current level?
Promoted to L11 & L19.
What's your budget for this season?
L11 Team - About 100M
L19 Team - About 160M (It's very low, just enough for about 1.5 maximum value 5* players but I have 4 to 5 vacant spots)
About 15 tokens for each team.
Who do you want to replace?
L11 Team - MR, DL, ST
L19 Team - 3 defenders, MR, ML
What are your goals for this season?
L11 Team - win league and CL.
L19 Team - this team will not be strong and I will spend less time on it in this season. If initial results are good, I will spend some time to keep it in top 3 with a weak team. If initial results are bad, I will try to keep pride of the team while keeping it below 7th in league. In any situation, the team will try to maintain breakeven as far as possible especially on CL & Cup.
Update on Day 10
After 3 busy days, My L11 team signed 14 players and sold 9 players, including several free agents signed and then sold. Sorry for those who need these free agents and are in my server. Thanks to the manager who offered 18 tokens for my striker. I love that striker but 18 tokens is more than half the tokens I normally received in a season. For a long period today, my team had 10 signed defenders. Now it is back to normal 8. I am still considering a 0 token negotiation offer for a defender and another defender has already waited for 2 days for official signing.
My L19 team is less busy. The competition in auction market is keen. I avoid involving in bidding war to save tokens. Only 1 defender was signed, and a striker who is free agent signing in previous season, pretty good in training, but only 2*, was sold. I originally planed to keep him for some time to increase his value and use a backup player. Finally I decide to keep sufficient cash in order to keep the team ready to sign players capable to start.
BTW, I received much more negotiation offers in past week for the players who are 1 skill point away from next level. Probably, much less players are now in negotiation or scout list because most mobile users can no longer hold skill points for their players.
The results of first few matches of my both teams are fine. But it's still very early but is a good beginning. My L19 Team lacks both cash & tokens to upgrade or enlarge roster. The available players are quite insufficient to handle 3 competitions without using some green packs. I have not handle this situation for a long time. The green packs are valuable again.
After day 6:
L19 Team: Performances are surprisingly well. It won all 4 matches in league, led in CL, and advanced to playoff in Cup. The team defense has suddenly improved. It's still a good scoring team even though it's defensive minded. Roster has been enlarged but this team still does not have adequate rotation players to handle 3 competitions. My green packs have been consuming quickly.
L11 Team - Also did as well in all competitions. Squad upgrading progress is also satisfactory. All but one remaining 4* players are 1 skill point away from 5*. In last season, my team unluckily lost both league matches to rival team even though it controlled the matches. Hope my team will defeat this much younger and better quality team in coming matches.
After Day 18 (half season):
L11 Team
League - leading, W11-D1-L1.
CL - Won 1st match in top 16, against a old league friend.
CUP - Advanced to top 8
Update:
When I arrived at 30 minute for Cup home match today, I was surprised that my team was behind 0:3. That's quite incredible as I am confident that my team is a better team. As I noticed that the opponent has a 1* Left defender, I made a minor adjustment to focus on both flanks. In response, my team quickly scored 4 goals from 32' to 70'. By the end, we won 4:3. Though we effectively just lead by half goal, I still have full confident to advance to next round but should be careful that the team can lose with no good reason.
L19 Team
League - 3rd, W11-D0-L2.
CL - Top 16, drawn in away match.
Cup - was knocked out in playoff round
Comments:
In 2nd match of a 3 hour apart consecutive matches, I rushed back home about 3 minutes before match starting. However, due to network problem at my home, I could not make urgent starting lineup change, recover players’ condition, or even attend the match. The team was eventually defeated. Other than this, the team was only defeated for once by the significant stronger league leader. The team’s performance is still far better than early season expectation.
At day 25, review against early season goals:
L11 Team
* Currently at second place in league. From 1st to 4th team, each with 2 points apart. So competition for top 4 is not yet over. My team failed to defeat but drew with the leading team at home today. In remaining league matches, my team will face the bottom 3 (Each with GA over 100 and goal difference over -80). So I have confident to at least keep 2nd place even though my goal difference is clearly with disadvantage in this season.
* For CL & Cup, my team was knocked out at top 8 and top 4 (by a team 2 level above) respectively. The result is satisfactory.
L19 Team
* My goal for league has been revised to top 3 early in the season as performance was good. After defeating the strong leading team yesterday, my team is currently at 3rd place, with 5 points difference with the leader. Performance was not stable in 2nd half of season but the recent momentum is good.
* For CL & Cup, my team was knocked out at top 8 (by leading team in my league) and playoff round respectively. The result is satisfactory. At this level, if the team cannot win the champion, I think it is better being knocked out early, especially for CUP.

At day 27, short review:
L11 Team
* The original leading team lost to No.4 today. My team took the leading position now. The difference of top 3 is only within 2 points now. Even though my team won 12-1 over the last team today, my team still have disadvantage in goal difference. So the goal of last match is simply winning over the No.13 team.
L19 Team
* After winning today, my team took over the 2nd place. The leading team need 1 more point to claim the league title. So effectively the race for championship is over. The last match is against the No.3 team at home. We just need a draw to be 1st runner up.
