Manipulation

Amen you great one

Bow to me you peasant!

I'm kidding. Look, having 300-400 tokens is useful. But is more than you need. If you want to be successful try buying 3 or 4 high value and wage under 21 year olds. Don't forget to look at their previous form. You might find a hidden gem. If he has form like 8-9-8-6-8 chances are he'll have similar form for you. Some players play better than others.

What I do is I find some young fast trainers, I make sure they perform and when I can I use green packs to train them. 180 greens will add a star and a special ability. These are the kind of players that last seasons and seasons.

Good answer from you but honest I was a bit upset by your "experience" response. What I was saying (in this thread and others) is that I suspect a deliberate action made by Nordeus to force people like me (who spend lots of tokens - but not BUY in my case at least) to spend even more. What I said is that starting from 2 seasons ago, I go through the same "valley of despair" thing where I can hardly win a game. And, suddenly, I become unstoppable without changing a thing. Both periods are stupid I think. I rekkon a 7 star team should beat a 3-4 star one 99 % of the times. Not 50%. Specially when there is no manager there.
I read the forum, I know the counter tactics. And when I don't, I play like my opponent, which should give the best team the edge. But seeing my in-game tactic just not doing anything make me mad. The other day I started defensive: after 30 minutes, I had 70% ball possession, 12 shots to 8 and was 0-2 down. Switched to normal, then attacking with pressing and off-side on. Result: 22 shots to 12 and 1-4 !! So not only the shot pattern remained the same, but I was destroyed in both configurations.
By the way you said you'd laugh with 400 tokens but what would you do that I don't ? That should be interesting.

I never intended to offend anyone only share my experience. And when I say inexperience I mean having a 7 star team with bad tactics isn't going to win you games. I am Level 26 so I'm not the most experience, I'm still learning new things everyday. I have noticed having a bad start and making changes is a lot harder to come back from. Also making too many changes can disrupt your team. Do you want advice for a base tactic and orders?

With 300-400 tokens, I'd do the same thing I do now. Buy fast trainers and train them. I might buy one or two scouts who look very useful.

I don't buy tokens, but the same thing happens to me. One day I'm struggling, the next I'm soaring. So it could be Nordeus' way to make you spend more, but it doesn't affect only those of us who spend money on this game.

I don't really believe it though. If anything, I'd say they wanted to make the game more realistic, with teams having good and bad periods. It's just that the balance seems to be a little off...

I think you have a point there. At the moment it just feels too random. Having a strong team and using the right tactics doesn't seem to be as important as the current form of your team as a whole. Again, I'd say it's a question of balance.

On the other hand, I think it's still the most dedicated managers who spend the most time (and/or money) on building their team and tactics who perform best and win the most prizes. So it's not all about form.


One other thing is that I have been looking for an AML/ML since the start of this season and haven't found one yet. They're just pretty hard to come by (and no, I'm not going to buy a single token to get one ).

True. That's the most important thing; I've said that time and again. Nothing can beat the pleasure of winning a trophy after putting so much time and effort.
