Season 65

Concluding this season

After playing this game for about 1.5 years, in this season I could not ensure that I would manage at least daily. At the same time, both my teams were grouped into two of the most challenging leagues I ever played. These leagues are even the most interesting because almost all teams are active and are very similar in average qualities. In the past, the most challenging leagues I participated were mixed level leagues and my team faced clearly stronger and higher league level teams in league.

In last 2 or 3 days of this season, my teams is in borderline out of the top 7. I also know that I will have even less time in next season to manage. I consider to actively try to keep the team in same level. But at last I still decide to do my best to fight for promotion.


L21 Team

The roster of the team was often not very intact during this season. It had great difficulty in signing new players. But my team was young (probably the youngest in this league). So many players developed quite quickly. In addition, some weak players are slowly gradually replaced during the season. At season end, it developed to a mid-5* team.

My team struggled all season and placed from 5th to 11th. As I estimate, about three forth of the league team has similar average qualities with my team but have a clearly stronger starting lineup. In the final league match which just completed, my team has a good win. It finally secure promotion before all league matches completed.

My team had a good run in CL this season. It finished in Top 4 after suffering 2 big losses in semi-final. I feel regret that I could not attend both semi-final matches, and even could not manage the team in those 3 days. I could only check the roster of opposite team after the match finished and noticed that it was a very strong team. Considering the aforesaid disadvantages and both semi-final matches were included into 3-hour-apart consecutive matches, I still accept the losses and satisfy with the overall result.



L13 Team

The team is involved in a even more challenging league. Except the leading and trailing teams, I would say all teams are competitive This can be clearly reflected in the league table. Honestly, my team’s performance is disappointing in almost whole season. I loved my team as it is the youngest (age 19.3) and deepest (full roster) in this league . It has slight advantages in average quality comparing with most teams. But it was below the 7th place after about Day 9. The team's performance is bad but the worst problem is inconsistent. I feel hard to find players to rely on and so as to stabilize team performance. However, the strengths of most team are still close. My team is still not far from even 2nd placed team in all season. In final few matches, my team is effectively racing with about 7 to 9 teams for final 4 to 6 places in Top 7. In last league match, my team defeated the leading team which has outstanding performance among all teams in this season. I am happy that my team proved its strength. Now top 7 is also secured.



What did I learn in this season?

I did not pay as much time, but learned much in this season. I still need time to digest and conclude all. Generally, as opposite to some managers think, my brief on the relationship of support of the managers and friends during a match is strengthened. When my teams badly performed, my supporters also decreased quite a lot. On the other hand, now I understand that one of the major reasons that my teams could keep among the top teams in previous leagues is that most of the opponent managers were less active than me.
