Season 78 - Are you ready?

[Tactician]

It feels as if we're FBI agents.

Anyway, my CL draw DOES feel fishy — 3 teams below 60% and one team above 90% in each of the group. I even saw a 2%, and they QUALIFIED FOR THE KNOCKOUTS! Anyway, only the group winners have survived for the quarter finals.

And yes — there's been a surge in injuries. A new signing injured for 7 days (healed), a second string MC for 5(naturally recovered), and my regular starting fullbacks for 4 days each (1 was healed, other naturally). But what I do (for <5 days injury on important players) is I don't heal them the day they're injured — I do it the next day, saves on reds.

They are fishy. I suspect that it is the League and CL batches and draws that gives an indication of how your team will perform in relation to the quality that you have. If you have been put in a batch consisting of low quality teams, the percentage efficiency of your team has already been reduced (hidden, but this may not activate or be apparent immediately). It could be to compensate for the big difference. You must be careful when facing those significantly weaker teams. While you may get a lot of large wins, especially at the start, you might struggle against a weaker team in the later stages despite having much higher visual quality displayed for your team. And if you have not used the best tactics, you will be knocked-out. Sometimes, even with the best tactics, you may get knocked-out. This is where I suspect match fixing.

Take into consideration that the above have not been proved 100%, but many indications are there. Sometimes, just by looking at the batch you have been put in, you can already say how efficient your team will be in terms of quality throughout the season. What is displayed, that is what you see is not always what actually there is. A 5 star team is actually a 3 star team if it is set to 60% efficiency. This is a very significant effect.

By the way talisman, there are indications that 4-3N-2W-1 has been underpowered this season. I have tested it once only though, but so far, it seems to be weaker than expected. You may concede more goals than expected when using this formation. 4-2-2-2 Hexagon seems to be the reverse this season, that is overpowered and conceding less goals.

Those effects goes against the logic of football tactics though. Normally, 4-3N-2W-1 should be stronger defensively and also appear to dominate matches more as compared to 4-2-2-2 Hexagon. There is even a team using 4-2-2-2 Hexagon that has not lost in it's league (14W, 0D, 0L, 65GF, 7GA); those statistics are anomalous for a team using such a formation.

So, this adds to the fishy things going on in this game this season.

Who can add me on the friend's lists and send me some packs for the next few days? My team is currently in poor condition and I have no more money in the credit card account to buy tokens to get packs. One serious user will be enough. My account is on server 34.

1.Hard training yes, all were in deep red very disturbing, not positive at all.
2. yeah because the defense was horrific

I love a good troll result. Just lost a game with my second team. 2-0. Overall possession 60% for me. Equal shots and shots on target, equal saves but I had 9 corners and more free kicks. My whole team scored an average of 7,4! That is normally very high. Especially if the advisary is scoring a 7,0 on average. I still have a comfortable lead but it is declining with only 5 points ahead now. The tension is building.

I have the impression that the game engine deliberately causes this. One reason is likely to make you think your squad is still not good enough, and also to make other possible title challengers think that they still have a chance and hence convince them to invest more in their teams. This is a business ploy.

It's funny, then, that this always happens to you, and not other teams. The leader in Palace Casuals' League is ten points ahead and the gap grows every day. I don't see them having a bad result just to make the rest of us think we have a chance...

I never said what you just said: 'that this always happens to you'. You have misunderstood me. This has not happened to me in this season so far nor last season, but I have observed such things in the past where a leading team (and not my team) suddenly starts to suffer losses to lower quality teams in the league. The explanations I gave are possibilities (not confirmed). This can also be said to be based on form. By the way, I have clearly said: 'I have the the impression that'. Why do people have impressions of something? There must be some indications.

Assuming that the tactics he used were ok and his team had a superior quality, what will be your explanation to this? 'Troll' ? Why 'trolls' occur? This is the important question.

P.S: Based on some users reaction, I have the impression that they are thinking negatively on me or on what I posted. Let me be clear: I have no bad intentions against any of you. So, you are misunderstanding me. I just say things on this game based on what I have observed in the past. What you have observed or experienced does not necessarily mean that another user will observe or experience the same. You must respect that. There is no need to behave negatively.

So you want server friends... Anyway how do we check our server?

No need too, but some users prefer server friends as they want you to support their team. I don't support any team, and don't expect anyone to come and support mine. Nik already added me. Thanks to him by the way. I really need packs at the moment. You can add me if you want to. Just send your profile link via P.M.
