Hi all,
I've found a disturbing trend in T11 of managers supporting lower teams against their closest rivals. Surely this shouldn't be allowed?
It's not like you see Arsene Wenger Cheering in the stands against Jose...

I've done it when going for a league title that was incredibly close, but most of the time, the team you are supporting is usually not strong enough to beat the person you need to lose, certainly if it is a case where both of you are going for the title.
I've also had to happen to me, but thankfully it made no difference. It's all part of the game. You take whatever advantages you can.
Agree Stevie, not cheating just part of the gameplay and perfectly legitimate. Adds to the fun and interest of the game.
Yep, it's there for a reason. It should be there, especially for players who are playing every day. It can be rewarding if it pays off.
i`v had this if a ( so called friend) keeps supporting my oppo then i`l delete BUT if we are both going for title i`l expect nothing less and what comes around goes around ;) :)
A guy on my friends list did that this week. That is an auto-unfriend for me.
Another guy did that to me a few seasons ago, and I made it a point to support all his opponents the rest of the season.
I must admit here, that I have, by misstake, clicked the wrong team. And as far as I know you can't change it once clicked :(
You should be able to at least change support?
(I felt like an arse)
Its not a disturbing trend. Its always been that way. You are given the option to support v rivals so its up to you to choose.
If it bothers you and you've not experienced it yet then wait until your rival is part of a T11 group and the massed ranks of supporters descend upon you. >.<
I have the feeling that the bonus possession afect, but only if is +8% +5%.... then have some influence in chances/options and too can have by my viewpoint the same benefit as have the correct man in corners/fouls, that sometimes means = 1 shoot = 1 goal
So... to finish my theory I will say that one have only to start been worry if the differance of possession is of 8%+ and really a little worry deeply if is 12%+.
We all've seeen that differances of possession in high mode are not decisive always so till here my theory.
LOL
Like this lot, you mean?Quote:

good the max is -15% in cases like this :rolleyes::eek:
this happens often at my level, but equal on both teams though
OMG! looks like lynch mob! :O :O :O luckily (s)he is profiting "only" +15% :O
The advantage of possession isn't big, high possession deficit can be countered with defensive and longpass style.
For me, it just require different tactics.:p
Possession is having the ball, goals come from what you do with the ball.:p
Two many cooks spoil the broth.:cool:
If a "friend" or a competitor supports your opponents :rolleyes:
well, those are two totally different things but none of them is cheating.
If a +15% supporting could affect the games, I wouldn't miss a title :p
Supporting other managers in match is a feature of this game that everyone have same right to do this. This is transparent to both sides of the match. The supporters need to pay effort (login and attend match) to exercise their influence. I don't think it is cheating.
I just notice 2 basic reasons of adding friends - First, supporting each others in matches. Second, sending gifts to each others. There may be other special reasons like gaining accesses to detail information of more managers. If 'supporting friends' is considered as cheating, I don't think 'sending gifts' is not.
I had someone cheer for a team against me. Ended up winning 7-2 and being the most goals we scored in a single game this season.
Im used to having the opponent fielding 15+ friends, that how mutch they hate me at my league :P
But had a fun season even tho i ended second :)
I've done that inadvertently too. Then prayed my friend didn't lose !Quote:

Supporting league opponents is bad karma... period.
Yeah that's pretty much how I feel too, it's bad karma..
I have done it, though only to those who persistently did it to me, and that's only been a couple crazy guys, and only when I happened to be online, I didn't set an alarm or anything (which at least one of them did since he live in Italy)
I am not too sure what the problem is with this?
I have a few contacts and would like their support but if I am playing someone and they have a supporter or 2 then so be it! Isn't support a part of the game of football? It's not cheating.
Maybe they're desperate for the true fan achievement.
I don't really see what the big issue is. If they want to support my opponent, so be it; but if I return the favor don't go crying! Plus, 2% possession really doesn't make much of a difference. So they're possession goes from 50% to 51%, if possession determines odds of victory it gives them a 2% better odds at winning. But since they're are multiple factors that determine how a team performs, a 2% possession bonus, increases their odds of victory by what, 0.5%?
When I have a friend in my league, i'll support them against teams that are abandoned or tanking but if both teams are in the race for a promotion spot, I don't support either side.
