ManUtd and Chelsea are so bad that everyone can beat them so those aren't troll results anymore :D :p
But t11_fan Bournemouth's record prior to those 2 games was w2, d4, l8 and were in the bottom 3. Manure were in top 4 and Chelski have so much money and 'tokens' they expect to win every time. That is the point I was trying to make. Tokens and spending money does not guarantee success. The game is not fixed but just trying to reflect what is happening in some leagues. Personally I am bored with La Liga and the Bundesliga and many other leagues that only have 1 or 2 teams that can win. In effect T11 are producing a more exciting and competitive competition and I salute them for doing it, although I do not agree with everything they do or how they arrange the leagues. But I live with it and adapt my strategy to suit and do not complain when an occassional result or season does not go in my favour.
@Staggy Stagg
I agree with you. That is why BPL is so popular and more entertaining to watch than Bundesliga for example. We know at the season start that Bayern has very big chances to win it and hardly some could move them from the throne. However, in BPL it isn't easy to predict winner because there are many strong teams without such big advantage in quallity as Bayern has and BPL is specific league where match outcomes are uncertain and often unpredictable. Leicester is leader in december, Chelsea near relegation zone, West Ham beats much stronger teams but loses against weak ones, Crystal Palace has 8W and 6th position... No one could have predicted that.
I think TE tried to copy this system and they succeded to do that although TE managers aren't happy with this system. TE leagues are now unpredictable and there are many trolls, but that is why TE is more exciting (for some managers :D for others frustrating). I'll repeat again, I agree with you, I don't like all parts of this current system how leagues are created (too much same Q teams for my taste, I'd like some diversity).
I was 4-0 up today in the last game of the season. 14 minutes to go, I was cruising it with better possession, more shots etc and with no opponent manager watching his team proceed to score 4 goals in the next 9 minutes and the game ends 4-4.
Nothing you can do when 'the game' wants to play like that! :D
EPL (English Premier League) please - The Scots have their own League and would not appreciate being lumped in with the rest of Britain's football...Quote:

The new league structure is my main frustration. My main team is at level 39 team and has now been promoted in 5th place to level 40 without spending tokens. This team was a 3* team in a 3* league and next season will be a 2* team and will be put in a 2* league. If I do nothing I will have a chance of another promotion. Over the last 18 seasons I have accumulated over 800 tokens and $3b without spending my own money. I am now tempted to buy a new team of scouts on day 3 and hopefully thrash everyone in the league and doing the double with the cup. This is dependant on getting through the first round of the cup though. Over the past few seasons the cup has not been kind to me.
That Is why we play in CL group stage against teams (sometimes inactive or even bot teams) which have average quallity 2-3 stars and they get kicked out of CL easly. Last season my half-scout team Dnipro had such opponents in CL group so I've easly kicked them with 6 wins and 28-0 goal difference in the group stage. Later we won the CL. It is unfair that many strong teams are now out of CL due league draws based on quallity.Quote:

I didn't mean British, but Barclays Premier League. :) I know for SPL (Scottish Premier League) so I wouldn't mistake those two :)Quote:

Agree t11_fan. If I get promoted I would expect 7 teams (the ones who did not get promoted) to be better than me and 7 teams to be around my level. So. if I want to do well I would have to spend to improve my team (just like Watford and Bournemouth) who both bought heavilly in the pre-season. But under the new rules I am placed with teams of equal ability and so do not have to do much to be competitive. When I first started (over 4 years ago) the season start was the challenge to get a team that could be competitive but not now. Also you could build a team up throughout the season to be competitive the next season. Again not now, if you build your teamup (even on day 1 and 2 of new season) you will still be put into a league of evenly matched teams.
It seems we all will have to adapt on lower avQ strategy through seasons in order to avoid strong teams in our competitions.
For example, team who won the cup where my Celtic was 3rd, is 3 levels above me (he is 17, my team 14)
On his level he has (after selling few players) average quallity 3* with lineup:
1x 9*
1x 8*
6x 7*
1x 3*
5x 1*
On my level his team is alike 8x 9*, 1x 5* and 5x 1* (those players have very low quallity, kept in team for seasons) and he has same average quallity as me!
I know he sold few players (because I saw his team few days ago), he won the league (21W-2D-3L, 101-31GD) and the Cup, maybe he won the CL too.
double post...
Sadly there are always people that will use the rules to their own advantage, it's all part of the game. If I get bad draws then I just let the season run and build up my tokens and money and hope for a better draw next season. Boring season I know but I refuse to spend money on the game, I give Nordeus enough by watching videos that they must get paid on a pay per click process.

I've rotated team a lot, used various setups, but still my players aren't OP compared to the competition. My scouts are 1x Q92, 8x 91 and 7* Q90
