Mythbusters of top eleven

[IImaestroII]

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.

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

[Tactician]

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.

[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).

I dont know if this has been suggested before .

"Fast trainers perform better "

a myth to me , but it would be nice to hear your thoughts

Yes and No
A good but free to play manager is gathering and using his sources mostly for attackers.
Wingers, AMC and ST are the players someone want to invest, not only to increase their quality and skills but to keep them for many seasons.
So it's logic to search for young fast trainers for those positions.
Those are the positions the game gives bonus at rates (as they score and giving assists) than MC, GK and defenders, so it looks like they perform better.

[EastsiderSG]

My opinion is no. Having just restarted at level 1 last season. Had some fast trainers and normal attackers around the same quality with a balance of whites and greys. They were sharing the MOMs until i powertrained.

It feels like the fast trainers perform better after we get some training in but when they are raw of the auction market. No diff.
