Anyone know if there is a guide on bringing quality down for new season? I have about 3 7 stars and 4 6 stars i want to keep.
That'll leave 6 star GK, 5 star DL 6 star CB 6 star DMC can go but I want to keep a balance to compete in cup and CL but lower quality down at the same time.

Never let go of academy players...

Never let go of academy players...

I'll keep that in mind thank you. I used to play with depth but I think I'll cut down on quality.

I'll keep that in mind thank you. I used to play with depth but I think I'll cut down on quality.

This is where multi-position players come handy — I tend to have a "base formation" (currently 4-5-1V) and build my squad around it. You only need 17-18 players — a goalkeeper, 6 defenders, 1 DMC, 3 MCs, 4 wingers and 2/3 strikers (for 4-5-1v). The wingers can be AML/ML, AMR/MR, AML/AMC, AMR/AMC. The defenders can be 2 DL/DC, 2 DC/DR, 2 DC/DMC. You can keep 3-4 reserves to reduce quality. These can be academy players. You can train them a SA or roles, this helps when you sell them later or even in negos. Best of luck for next season

And as you play hexagon more, keep a keeper, 6 defenders, 3/4 MCs, 4 wingers, 3 STs - 18 men should be enough. If you want a full 22 man rotation then go for it — each style has its own pros and cons. I don't want anyone to strictly do what someone says as each manager's play style is different — if you're Mou then you can form a squad with 11 men but if you're Wenger then even 33 guys won't be enough, half of them with season tickets to the medical center

Atlético Kolkata Day 27 Report

Cries of joy and tears of happiness came from the bench as Sergio Portillo once again netted the winner of a final as Atlético Kolkata won their first ever Champions League trophy, 3-2 (aet). Arif got a brace as he scored in the 35' and 74' (assisted by John). But in the 83' and 89' the troll engine of Top Eleven equalised to take it to extra time — an extremely rare occurrence for our knockout ties (only the second time it happened.) And just before the close of the first half, a through ball by John saw Portillo score (who was the deputy of suspended Baert.) The boys won when it mattered the most (we lost to Ubuntu FC 0-4 and drew 1-1). This trophy would be memorable since it came from a dismal start. The unexpected silver trophy:

But the business wasn't over — we won 5-0 away later this day. John opened the proceedings by Anis' corner. In the 43' the defenders told hey, we also wanna score. So I gave them the freedom as Ahizi assisted Guerro. A foul in the box on Anis gave us a penalty, and the penalty stopper failed to protect the goal. Once again he striked from a free kick in 65'. And a minute before all this ended, John assisted Moore to get the 3rd blue. The troll pays visit to al fathir FC as they lost to a 10-man team. Now it's a wild-wild-wild title shootout — if he wins, then I'll have to win by 17+goals. If he doesn't win, then I'll have to win to clinch a surprise league title. The odds highly against me. Oh troll, please come now!

PS: I got an offer for a slow, young goalie. Smart guy, 1T was enough, I didn't wanna bother him more (guess he paid 10T):

ok, this game is just stupid!

Looks like that wasn't the only Troll result today, judging from the red boxes in the top half of the table...
