Well, nordeus outdid themselves this time in my Champions League Draw.

25 League champions (all level 24)
1 2nd place team (level 24) - he's seeded as the 1st place team slot.
1 2nd place team (level 25)
1 3rd place team (level 25)
4 4th place team (level 25)

Amongst the level 25 teams are a pair of traditionally strong teams, whom finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the CL last season. Combined those two have 26 CL semi-final appearances and 10 titles. One is in Group D and the other Group E so i'll be watching the group stages to see if I can strategically find a path to the final that doesn't require going through them.

League quality doesn't matter either in creating the groups. I won the double last season and got seeded in the spot of a 4th place team. The team seeded in the 1st place slot, won a league with 2 coiners in it. Worse scenario is group E, as 1st, 2nd and 4th place seeds, all had 5* teams in tough leagues last season, and they have a quality level 25 grouped in with them.

You should thank God Nordeus you have 25 leagues at your manager level, cause I only got 2 at my level 40 and play the same opponents for like a year now

Not a bad start with a 2-2 result away, my AMC Guerrero was MOM with 2 goals scored. My New GK had a bad rating, lets see If he improves.
Both teams are very similar in quality, so anything can happen.

Meanwhile i sold my reserve MR, only 1 star at this moment, and my free academy player, that i got in the last days of last season.
So i am schearching for a MR, but since i have a player with AMR position, and 3 players with ML position, i am good for now.

Day 2 - Palace Casuals Cup report.

Don't know why the Management stayed at the match after the first minute, as he could predict the eventual outcome after that... Aggregate 1-5.

sarted my season with a win 5-0 (H) in cup competition , Sounds a very good start especially that we are equal quality

I have a question about Scout players,,do they really worth these Tokens? I need a player with multi positions and I only find him at Scout and Negotiations .

Should I buy him from scout or wait until I find same in market? and are they fast trainers in Scout?

Won the first cup match yesterday 7-0 Neymar scored a hat trick already,with the age 28 I'm surprised he is still doing well, early to say. The cup draw was OK and CHL a bit complicated as I get some old rivals that made my team life harder before, will be some good challenges. Waiting for league draw to start buy players.

The season started good and bad. My main team lost his away match with 2-0 in the cup against an equal team. Yikes. I just brought out the green packs and now have 5 scout players again. Lets hope it helps. My second team won his home match with 4-1 but that away goal is always scary with Nordeus

Only bought two players so far. Lost one bidding for a good striker after 15 rounds and a hickup in the internet, grmblll. But also bought a good defender on the transfer list. Finally my first buy on the transfer list. Woohoo. Do I loose the tokens that you have to pay upfront (10 tokens)?

The answer is NO
Don't buy any players from scout list
They are slow trainers and usually perform badly 'not always' and they are very expensive

Go for recommendation if you want to spend tokens
Transfer market and negotiations are also good but I prefer transfer market

Generally, the players on the scout's are inferior, not in terms of how do they look in terms of quality but in terms of what special abilities they have, what positions they have and how well do they perform relative to their displayed qualities. About the speed of training, they are slow and very slow trainers. Also, some perform well in the first season, but perform badly in the next season. What if you buy one and he turns out to be a poor performer despite the very good looking stars and special ability? This is the risk. I have bought 3 players from the scouts' list in the past, an AML/AMC/AMR (24 years old, corner specialist, 54T), an ST (22 years old, one-on-one scorer) and a GK (23 years old, one-on-one stopper). The AML/AMC/AMR was good, the ST was decent and the GK was bad (in fact, very bad relative to his displayed quality). So, lets say the probability of getting a good performing player from the scout's list is 35-60%. The range is large, isn't it? So, that is a big risk.


Suppose that the player turns out to be a good player, is it worth the cost? This is subjective. If you can afford a lot of tokens or you can farm a lot of tokens, then why not? But if you have a limited budget, don't use the scout's list. You can buy a lot of players from the auction market with 39-69T; you can build a whole team (22 players) of 5 star players with that amount of tokens provided that you have the required amount of virtual money. The key is to avoid bidding wars and also to find the appropriate times to bid in the auction market.

Best is to wait some more, but say after one week or so, if you can't find the player you want, then use the scout's list, recommendations' list or negociations' list. The top recommended player, according to some feedback received here has been very good (except for the case of GKs). Also, recommended players don't cost you the market value of the player. I bought the AML/AMC/AMR from the scout's list due to shortage of appropriate wingers in the auction market at that time. It turned out to be a good player, and is surely among the best players I ever had so far.

All that being said, suppose that I have 100 tokens right now, will I buy a player from the scout's list. No, and not even if I desperately need a player having particular positions, unless maybe in the case where I have a very important match in say 10 minutes and I have no GK for use. With 100T I can build at least 1 (or even 2) good team(s) of 22 players capable of challenging for the League, the C.L and even the Cup.
