I would have thought Coloz would be priced at below 10/1. Are their bench players low quality?

Cup in 21 minutes. Set up with an attacking 4-5-1 v with a view to change to the 4-3-2-1 or 3-5-2 v depending on the score. Hope I get through this alive. 1-1 puts it to ET and then pens, 0-0 and I lose on away goals. 2-2 or better and any win and I'm through and of course losing means I'm out
Cup, 2nd round - FC alemanu (L8, 47.1) 2-0 Perfect Tactics (L5, 46.9) (1-1)
FC Alemanu win 3-1 on aggregate
Fabregas had a chance to put us 1-0 up in the first minute, Petersen's cross was met by the Spaniard but he couldn't divert his header into the goal. A costly miss resulted in Alemanu taking the lead after Pisha was put through on goal, squaring it to Johannson for 1-0. We were trying to find a goal but we just couldn't get past their defence. We had several corners headed clear and on occasions the goalkeeper was on hand to pluck the ball out of the air. But it was Alemanu who got the 2nd goal, Saa raced clear of the defence and passing to Johannson for his 2nd goal. It was a poor game for us and we didn't show the attacking flare that we usually play with.
Goals: Johannson (9', 65')
MOTM: Snead
Yeah... Screw this new cup, I had as much chance as the previous format. Opponent bought 5* players which I saw as 8*... My 6* players had no chance of stopping them
Just finish my 2nd leg 4-1, at least he found a goal. Now its time to catch some sleep :)
If I buy lower quality players at the end of the season, while keeping the players I want.. I can only lower it by 4-5 points. That might still be enough to put me with the level 8s and 9s when I get to level 6. Ugh...
That is.. unless the cup format changes but it won't. My average has to be very very low like 3* at the end of the season so I get teams on my level but this is impossible.
I logged in to Troll City to look at your team with the correct star ratings as Troll City are L5 as well, and its hard to see who exactly to offload from the 22 man squad to lower the quality temporary, Your 2nd GK Raouf, Trophobia DC/DMC look the obvious to be sold to get a 3*30 in for a night over maintenance, Maybe Javier Pina maybe in his last season at Perfect Tactics too. Other than that, your struggling to make room since everyone else is good enough for next season already.
I'm getting rid of Trophobia, Pina, Raouf, Affidudin, Dandaliver, Kyder, Fabregas and Law. Ig I get 30 quality players with that, my average will be about 5*43.0.. degraded to a 4*43.0 next season. I guess it could work out but it means I have to buy more players next season. Might even get rid of Nighstand and Wrist, they will be bench players at best next season...
But also, think about how many other people will be doing what we're doing. Active managers who do this will have a lot of tokens to buy extra players to lower the average... There's no getting out of it lol
If you're going to do the same, which players will be dropped for you? It's only going to be worth it if you're able to lower your average by at least 5 points
Obviously we are going to watch the transfer market on Day 27 evening and Day 28. I'd get CL final (If were in it first) before going to the tranny market to sign these horrible players for a day or 2, don't tell me we are going to get ridiculous bidding overs over these players on the last day for goodness sake, I don't mind laying out 10T to sign 3 or 4 3*85 players just to be sold again on day 1 of the new season, I have another use for these youth players I have, it helps out a lot on squad rotation when I'm playing these friendlies like I did again today, I played 5 friendlies, got no injuries this time... and these 2 youths played the full 90 of all 5 games, so it means only 9 squad players or sub players had to start and also make a sub to get the green booster in the second half.
Players I will probably offload... Killerich (decent trainer but he will slow next season as he will be 22)
Murphy 2nd GK, be easy enough to sign any 5* GK for second choice for next season. he would be 30 next season.
Vasko DC/DMC will go he is 5*97 now and not gaining because he is still out injured. 26 next season.
Crawford could go. So could even R.McNamara, P.McNamara, Rocastle and Savage.
I'd like to keep most but it seems like a lot of tokens will of been burned here.
But the definates are Killerich, Vasko and Murphy.
14th injury this season...game engine out of control

League, matchday 12
Fenerly FC 0 - 6 New Team
Another away affermation for Mad's crew, fired up for the upcoming CL matches. The curtains opens with Becker which, as the match starts, receives a pass outside the area and goes for the SS shoot, it's ready-go 0-1 (4'). Few mins of pressure, and from s left sided free kick Callaghan draws for Karimi, whose header signs the second goal (22'). Kick off and the Prince Julian Ross decides to finally exit his slumber with a powerful conclusion under the goal's seven, 0-3 (28'). Fenerly cant even break a sweat when just after a minute Lenders serves Oliver Hutton for the Ace striker's goal (29'). Before the first half break, Becker again: his diagonal find Lenders which changes the ball's course negating the keeper's attempt, 0-5 for the first half (40'). In the second half Becker, Diamond and Everett get their rest, while coach mad's orders are to keep ball possession without overdoing, sparing energies (and injuries) for the CL. A couple of occasions for new team, then Hutton receives from Karimi and scores the 0-6 dribbling defense and Goalie (77').
Statistics:
Goals: Becker, Karimi (A:Callaghan), Ross, Hutton (A:Lenders), Lenders (A:Becker), Hutton (A:Karimi).
MoM: Oliver Hutton (9), New Team.
If enough people are thinking in the same way then yes, maybe people will try to get those bargains before the end of the season and there could be 1 or 2 bidding wars.
It's a shame we have to resort to this :( I don't feel like doing it because it's not something I do but in order to win the cup, I may have to
Lost my cup competition when 3 of my player were injured during the match. Whats the poor result
Your cups will be like this until you get to around L12 or something like that, when most of the inactives are phased out and each league doesn't have a bad quality side in there anymore. most teams start a season mid tiered 4* average at the beginning of each season around L12+ since promoted teams are often 5* downgraded to 4* and teams not promoted are 4* anyways.
There is only so far that the game goes on quality. for what I know highest League Level I know is 27. Even though you could be L38, Meaning that Quality cap on a player there would be 9*174 (1) from what we found out from Darth Sidious. The highest 128 teams qualitywise on the same server must surely all play in the same Cup?
That would be a Super Royal Rumble Cup... Might even happen on my server soon, highest I've seen is level 16 from previous cups.
It will be interesting to see how Darth Sidious does in the cup next season, he'll be thrown in with level 6 and level 7 teams at level 3.
Another mixed day, started with our home league fixture against the bottom team.
Result: LONDON CITY 6-0 PERSADA FC
Goals: Morgada 1, Zola 18, Redknapp 21, Bentley 32, Redknapp 35, King 90
M.o.M: Hector Morgada (LC)
It may sound strange (or greedy), but we were really disappointed with the final outcome of this match, despite the scoreline, Once Hector Morgada had scored, straight from the kick-off, we were always in command. Goals flowed at quick intervals from Adam Zola, Marcus Bentley, and two from Larry Redknapp, to give us an interval lead of 5-0. We continued our dominance after the break, but the goals would not come, until Teddy King grabbed a sixth, right on the final whistle. We could have done with a couple more, as our league could well come down to goal difference at the end, and we are still 3 goals behind the 3rd placed team, even though we are 2nd.
We bowed out of the cup tonight, after losing the second leg at home, and thus ending 3-5 on aggregate to our level 10 opponents.
Result: LONDON CITY 2-3 FC BAHMUT
Goals: Kocabas 3, Bustillos 5, Mueller 17, Zola 76, Panichev 83
M.o.M: Kindras (BAH)
Trailing 1-2 from the away leg, we needed a good start, but the exact opposite happened. Two quick goals from Kocabas and Bustillos for our Ukrainian visitors, virtually ended the tie, before it had begun. We battled bravely on, and a Rudolph Mueller headed us back into it, from a Lukas Duran corner. In the second half, we kept plugging away, and when Adam Zola levelled on the night, we had a feint hope. But we needed two more goals with just fourteen minutes to play, to get us through. As it was, Panichev scored another for the visitors, to deny us even a share of the spoils. We also lost Justin Harold during the match with an ankle strain, which will keep him out for two days.
From tomorrow, I have to play the same team, 3 times in 9 days.
The team in qusetion are Tongfang United, who are currently in 4th position in my league. But we've been drawn together in the Champs League. So my fixtures are:
Sunday 24th (day 15), home in champs league.
Tuesday 26th (day 17), away in champs league.
Monday 1st (day 23), away in league.
I've already beaten him 4-2 at home in the league.
Reckon we'll be sick of each other by next week.
The last time I played a team 4 times in one season was when I played SINPED FC in the League/Champions League, It ended in 2 wins for me, 1 draw and a win for SINPED, but it didn't effect either teams progression from the Group that season as I won that group and he was runners-up, I'd like a 4 Games against the same team battle again in the future, I wonder how muhamed are doing?.

My CL draw. I would say that would be a sin not to win it, but i'm aware of the troll liying on the game engine waiting me for a little slip...
What is gonna be the final? Say yours :P
Attachment 3937
skipped my match, his GK was onfire, speechless...
Well I have a similar draw and quality advantage over the other 15 teams in the Champions League the last 3 seasons and in the last 3 seasons I won each of those 3 Champions Leagues, I would say if you don't win the CL looking at the draw, you would be very unlucky indeed, manage your team well and plan everything out for each game and you should be winning this Champions League.
My Guess for the Final: New Team vs C.D. TENERIFE
Speaking of that, I have Hurray FC in my Champions League tournament this season and they were in my League L15 last season, it's the first time that a WHITE text team has followed me into the next competition, the last team that did that was SINPED FC but they were a BLUE text team.
Looks like nordeus doesn't wants me to leave.
After loosing 2 days ago in the cup vs the illegal formation 0-3 i managed to win against his illegal formation 0-6 today.
The next opponent is active and spends time in this game too. I wouldn't mind if i get kicked out against him.
