My team luckily won today. The opponent may think this is a troll result.

My team only have 13 players available to play today because 7 players are out of contract and 2 are still injured. So 2 of my 3 defenders are 1 star player and they very badly performed.

Opponent has a higher quality team. They use a reasonable 3n-5-2 formation. All players are in natural position except their central DC. No player has match rating lower than 6.

My team is really lucky to win in this situation.

This is my team when the match was simulated.
Attachment 68983


What have you learned from last season?
Injury storm can be more serious than I expect. It continues even if I accumulate several injury players and do not heal them.

The longest injury storm continues after new season began. In last 7 days, 1, 3 & 2 players are out of action because of injury for 7, 6 & 5 days respectively (as I remember, 8 days ago, there was one more 6 day injury).

Where did you place last season?
Both my teams were 4th in league. They were in bad form late in last season, and were slightly affected by serious injury storm in this period.
League positions are not bad. But I am disappointed that my L28 team was eliminated 1/16 in CL.


Are you participating in the new Association's Cup ?
No. New version of game is not acceptable for playing to me.

What are your achievements ?

What's your current level?
L29 & L35

What's your budget for this season?
Who do you want to replace?
What are your goals for this season?


I have many experience of handling injury storm. But I am really tired of this. Both my teams will not be active from in coming season. I will keep these teams because I will be able to immediately participate meaningful competition if I return someday.


What's your training level?
N/A

What have you learned from last season?
1.) Luck sucks, troll results are everywhere -> worst season I ever played.
2.) L and CL with friends are so nice, but maybe too much/too hard. :p
3.) FA can be really funny and thrilling, but also frustrating and annoying.

Where did you place last season?
CL and L Winner, Cup: First Round.

What's your current level?

What's your budget for this season?
74T + 31M

Who do you want to replace?
Bought new wingers (maybe they are only subs, depends on the current wingers performance) and one Defender this morning. That's it.

What are your goals for this season?
Win as much as possible - up to the Triple.
FA: 4 times first. ;)

I'm ready for season 81, but something strange happened and I'm confused as well...

I was promoted to Level 34 even though I finished in 8th place in the league... :confused:


Anyone had something like this before?

yes, that's almost a rule, specially for you, at lv34 (or higher levels).
If you want to stay, must go for 9th position (maybe more in lvs above 40).
As you 're old member of the forum, weird that you didn't read that so far.
Almost every new season, the is a thread about that (in Bugs section too)

you can go in "advanced search" and as a key word you can put that angry face

joking of course
- yes, I know, it's very frustrating

*** the"key" word is tanking.
In threads where someone is talking about this or asks advice, there is a post/answer saying to avoid 8th position.

I have not encountered this before. As I remember, when my team was 8th in league at level 32 or 33 (i.e. below 34), it was not allowed to promote.

If league mainly groups teams with similar quality, I prefer promotion rather than staying in same level. No matter my team promote or not, the qualities of opponents are similar. But qualities of 5 star players in market are higher if my club level is higher. As I only use auction market to buy new players, if my team fail to promote, my team hardly improve or even hardly keep qualities through replacing players.

Quick question does annyone know why my team peforms much better at away matches and plays poorly at home?

Hi ,

My new club GOLGHOT FC

To be very carefuly last week of the season especialy if you have a Champion's league final only a few minutes after your association match within you play with loaned players in your eleven start with results having some 2 and 3 stars and players in false postions/roles at the beginning of your CL final ...

Just a reinforcement of 'fight to the very end of the season - you never know what might happen'...

Palace Casuals: League Champions (see above); Champions League, dnq; Cup, Play-off Round.
Palace Terriers: League, 4th; Champions League, 'Top-16' Round; Cup, Play-off Round.

What are your achievements ?
Both teams are in Associations - Casuals had a Win and a 4th place; Terriers two 2nds and a 3rd. Both Associations achieved sufficient points to promote to Bronze 2 level.

Palace Casuals - Level 33 in their 37th season.
Palace Terriers - Level 14 in their 14th season.

Palace Terriers need a new multi-role AM player, MC, GK and ST.

Day 1 - Palace Casuals pre-season summary and Cup report.

Palace Casuals start their 37th season at Level 33, fresh from their unexpected League Championship last season.

The Transfer Market at higher levels can be either a desert or a teeming metropolis, no suitable players, or some and lots of competition for them. Thus the playing squad (below, with Casuals career record) at the start of this season bears a striking resemblance to that of last season, with four additions and three departures.

Attachment 69007

The Casuals Management immediately set about improving the Squad, as suitable players became available in the market, but the first new recruit was picked straight from the Scout list, being the well-rated DMC (plus DML/DMR) that a true proponent of 4-5-1V needs.

Attachment 69008

The next purchase came from the TM (4T).

Attachment 69009

As a result, Cristian Urtazun and Samuel Guidiala departed for clubs anew.

Casuals played their Cup Preliminary Round 1st Leg at home against a Level 32 team, and the new signings were given a debut, both performing satisfactorily. The opposition put up a stiff resistance to Casuals forward thrusts, and the home side defended likewise, so it no surprise that a goal-less draw ensued.

Attachment 69011

After the match, the Management went shopping again in response to a good Negotiation offer for Mihai Campean, who was on the release list anyway. Another 9T went, and a bid was made for a similarly-rated MC, but the Management was relieved they ducked out early on that one as it went to Round 39...

Attachment 69010

With a suitable uprated replacement secured, the offer for Campean was accepted.

Having qualified for the Champions League for the first time in three seasons, the Management has had a look at the Group opposition and potential further opposition and is dismayed again to find that he is in a higher-level competition. One saving grace is that one of the Group opponents is an abandoned team.

This is what happens when people bid with me on the market lol. 42 bids before I got him, level 12Attachment 69021

Day 1 - Palace Terriers start-of-season summary and Cup report.

Palace Terriers start their 14th season at Level 14, having promoted in every one of their previous seasons. Last season they finished 4th in a League packed with high-Quality sides, breaking a nine season sequence of finishing in the top two.

One of the reasons for the previous success has been a stable and relatively unchanged squad, but last season there were quite a few changes as lower-Quality players were replaced to keep pace with the Quality of the League competition. As a result, there were 9 new players recruited, and 8 players were released. The current squad is listed below, with their Terriers career record.

Attachment 69024

The Terriers Management spent a while on the Transfer Market today, and spent 6T on two players.

Attachment 69025
Attachment 69026

Kazuya Takao is a replacement for Shotaro Ishi, who retired at the end of last season, and Niklas Schlaudraff was released as Pierre Torres Nilo moved in to replace him.

Both new recruits were in the squad for the home Cup Preliminary Round 1st Leg, but their good work was overshadowed by the left-winger on fire, Esneider Gil, who scored all four goals in a 4-0 thumping of a Level 15 team.

Attachment 69027

After the Cup match, the Management decided to lighten the playing squad a bit to make space for future recruitment, so veteran AM Nikolay Radev and midfielder Michele Tempesta were offered to the market. The 32yo Radev was a bit of a punt, as it was unlikely that anyone would want such an old 2*/72Q triple-role AM with Penalty kick SA, but no, he went second attempt.

Terriers' Champions League is a more conventional one that their senior teams', and the squad are looking forwards to a good competition.

Attachment 69028

That's how you start the season with a goal in minute 1 in the first game :D

First cup match was away. Equal opponent with 114% against me at 113%.

no, it's tonight.
i can confirm it because I organized last year a league between friends and some teams were created on Monday and still the game set us in the same league (when being with friends was the 1st priority).
Also Khris with OMA league (another league of friends) can confirm that.
We did our groups (last details) on Sunday and Monday.
Your question-point is very right although.
I suppose the system promotes a number of teams that must make a suitable number of 14 teams leagues (but not the draws yet).

Meanwhile, 1 change in my squad sold one of last season free academy players and took the free one i received today.
The token one was a GK and i dont need one this moment.

Day 2 - Palace teams Cup report.

Palace Casuals got their Assistant Manager recommendations this morning, and chose a replacement for their first ever recommendation purchase, Andre Faisca.

Attachment 69071

Attachment 69072

Palace Terriers played away in their 2nd Leg match and really had a game of two halves. The first half was a very cagy affair, with neither side getting anywhere or giving any quarter, but Terriers suffered their first injury of the season when Peter Jorgensen, playing DMC, left the pitch, to be replaced by Abdou Ewagnignon. Ronaldo Pigatto Baratto broke the deadlock 6 minutes after the break, but the home side equalised a quarter-hour later. Pigatto Baratto put the visitors ahead again, but the hosts hit back with two goals in a minute to take the lead themselves. Esneider Gil provided an equaliser for the Terriers, but the home side had a sting in the tale with the winning goal a minute later. Terriers progress to the next round 7-4 on aggregate.

Attachment 69067

Palace Casuals played away after a goal-less draw in the 1st Leg, so it was all to play for. The home side lost their ST to injury in the second minute, and Casuals had an injury of their own in a frantic last 8 minutes of the first half. Makoto Taketa lasted only 37 minutes on his debut, leaving the field and being replaced by Gary Millar. Jack Auger put the Casuals ahead and midfielder Charly Ducourneau scored his debut goal in the stroke of half-time. The home side pulled a goal back just before the hour mark, but the Terriers defence held firm to put them through 2-1 on aggregate.

Attachment 69068

The Terriers Management went shopping again and picked up an MC and GK to finish their current squad restructuring.
