Lowering team qualty doesn't make any sence at higher levels (thesis)

I get some 3-star players every now and then

It helps you to get into a "weak" league in the next new season. The selection of team is based on the average quality of your team.

Very good! This is something I can comment.

Remember I mentioned a while ago that I tried to lower the quality of my team at the end of a season and then I won the cup next one? Since then I have not done that so far because to rebuild really takes resources. (I know someone has diff opinions, sorry my story is big different because my top 14 are always very very very good, so to make the average low I really have to sell some really good ones and rebuild)

Then I tried a different way: what if I make my top 14-16 super strong and keep them as long as I can? This was what I have done in the past 2-3 seasons. I won all the leagues, 2 CL and 1 cup. Especially in the last season I almost made treble by doing this. I lost the cup final to a team 1 level higher than me although our team qualities are similar, he managed the match better than me so I lost.

But what tells us from my cases? Think about this, when you try to lower your quality, the purpose is to meet lower level teams, right? So your team is actually a "fake" bad team because you actively want to win cup and other competitions. But at lower levels, who will have the "pleasure" to meet you? Well, those good teams with active managers! They are good not only with good qualities but also their managers are good. So if you meet them you really cannot guarantee you can win; let alone you meet the same or higher level teams.

On the other hand, some teams that are actually with inactive managers so they are "real" bad teams; they are bad not because their manager made them bad but due to the fact that their managers are bad or even not active at all. So if you are strong and very possible you will meet this type higher level teams, if so is it a good thing? Of course yes! This was what exactly happened to me in the past couple of seasons, when I could reach to cup finals.

So instead of making the team bad, I made them strong, especially I spent packs to upgrade them at the beginning of the season. I told myself this: well, if you meet strong higher level teams in cup, you loose but actually you have nothing to loose; but if you face to lower level teams with really good managers, and you loose, you would feel sad and guilty.

In summary, I am playing this game in a stupid way. I know it and I am still doing it because I feel that this is fun. I certainly can easily make my team bad and spend some tokens to rebuild, but this is not the story we are talking about here.

At last but not the least, everything is possible; by doing this you can still meet strong teams at the same or higher level, if so then just take it easy. Like I said above, just do it because you have nothing to loose.

Good luck and you have my best wishes!
