Another Nordeus win.

I played Cup match and I was trolled.

0-0 until minute 60 where one oppo player had 2 yellow card and penalty. Ok, my best player who has 22 goals in 14 matches and never failed a penalty, do it. Failed!!!

Don't worry, now vs 10 players is possible to win the match. 30 minutes later I lost 3-0. Incredible.

Ah!!!! Like other 6 weekend matches, another injurie, 6 days? To the TM, I haven't red packs and this seasons has less days.

Thanks again Nordeus.

Was the opponent better or worse in terms of quality? I've scored three goals to stage a comeback with 10 men, to win a game 3:1....

This is one of the examples where no matter what you do, your team will not win (or will have big hidden disadvantages) because it has already been decided by the program that you will have the highest probability to lose this particular match for whatever reason(s). And you know what; there are some similarities with what happened to you and what happen to me for a particular match which was in a knock-out round too. I won the away match 2-1 against a weaker team (weaker by around 5 points) using appropriate tactics. For the return match, I used another set of appropriate tactics. During this match, I could clearly see how the game has decided against me such that everything will be against my team and how everything was set so that I will lose the match and get knocked out of the competition. A player who never missed a penalty before, a 6 star player winger, missed a penalty at a point in the match where the score was 1-1. The opponent score in the last minutes of the game, and I lost the round on penalties. My team dominated possession and had the most shots. And it is not only about that particular match; during this particular period (between a few days before and after that particular match) most of my players suffered a sudden significant drop in form where nothing could be done to change it. I 'grinded' two 1-0 wins during this period with most players acting like 3-5 stars less than their displayed quality, and I lost my first league match 1-0 after almost 3 seasons. This team that beat my team 1-0 was weaker than my team by around 7-8 quality points, and on his next home league match he drew 0-0 with a team weaker by 10 quality points - a team who used a messy formation consisting of only 1 DC and 1 side defender. This injection of bad form could be intentional as I was 10 points clear at the top in the league, and the team at 2nd place consisted mainly of players bought from the scout list (hence, most probably a significant token buyer). It is as if the game did not want the competition to seem be over yet for the 2nd and 3rd positioned teams, giving them some reason to spend more money for this season.

Similar or very close. Near to 30 and me 27 more or less.

Delayed mid season update:

Level 25 Team

Top 11 teams (I really mean 1st to 11th teams) of this league are close. Even though it is still early to conclude, I am proud that my team climbed from 12th on week 4 to the current position.

I also admire performance and competitiveness of players in CL. The team was finally ranked 3rd in group stage and was eliminated. But there were good competitions with 3 much stronger higher level teams.

Level 17 Team

League position of my team is not too bad. But the player performances were very inconsistent. Most of the defenders had match ratings 5 or even 4 in some matches in this season. I don't think my team deserve promotion in this season.

In this season, I learned that non-token/pack buyers/farmers are most difficult to compete with an average quality high 5 star or even stronger team. With such quality, teams are always drawn to play with token buyers or tankers. There is little room to improve through player buying & selling. The training progress of players also significantly slowed down after reaching 6 star.
