Mythbusters of top eleven

[nikolgiorgos]

I just caught a weaker team in tanking formation in the Kings of Kings challenge with players mostly in front and the GK as an outfield player too, but only 5-0? Not so good engine, isn't it?

That's not a Myth, that's a fact.
It started when the fixed the game engine on purpose, to reduce the super-domination scores vs illegal/ very weak abandoned teams.

I told you I felt the troll effect but I kept fighting fighting till the end of the match. They may not be fixed matches as such, that is, the result can be overturned, but they are relatively very hard to win, and harder the closer the quality of the two teams involved, where the manager must keep working his brain to find ways to beat the opponent. Sometimes, the orders are themselves the trolls, like attacking or passing in middle or flanks when should not be (complete opposite). Lets put it this way, poor rolls of dice + unexpected orders to be used. If you watched my last match, I went through the middle with a narrow formation versus a flanked based formation with 3 MCs - something many would not have done - and in the middle of the match, I changed to another narrow but more defensive formation, and the results were better than expected.

I think I have a new case under investigation.
A new algorithm of the game engine which spot tanking formations and promotes them to win or not to loose.
I 've heard about other cases and I have mine too.

This team for example
- All the players are out of position (yellow or red triangle).
- I have set my 2* GK or all the corners, f-k, penalties and a 2* ST for GK (who was motm in that game - lol)
- All the other teams in my league are abandoned but with players in their positions.
Still I have managed to win 4 games and get 3 draws with that formation.

Yeah, I suspected that, but still there are 8-9 star teams with as low as 0 wins in the league. A big example is found in that Italian association that is currently first in ranks (if I am not mistaken). One of our association members have to face 1 of their members in the cup this season. My association mate's team is about 100% but his opponents team is more than 160% at the same cup competition level (more than 180% at association level).

Those suppose measures they took only made the task of normal users harder and also made the game engine worst.

One guess I could do is that in those cases they increase a lot the training bonus factor
You 're active right ? So you have 8% or 10% bonus from daily training.
They could fix the game engine so that this could be no1 factor for a good performance instead the formation/tactics.

[nikolgiorgos]

yes, I get the daily training bonus to 8 or 10* but I do not train those tanking players.
The others, my "good" squad, are about 80-85% quality.

But is very rare( from what i saw since now ), one manager in my league started to tank after some days and yes in some matches ( lost ) his team played very well even with a gk in the midfield

[nikolgiorgos]

not only this, do you see the ball possession ? 51-49.
No penalty for this "extreme" illegal formation ( no one was present but I had the 5% from tickets).
