What kind of ridiculous opponents we face in Associations?

[Buffs Mad]

Associations can be a tankers paradise.

Remember games attract experienced gamers. They look at a system and identify opportunities for advantage including WITHOUT CHEATING. The two key areas in top 11 are quality and the draw system.

I'm top Q in my association and I frequently get higher Q opposition. If you look at what the draw produces you can then look at what advantages there may be. One I've seem is a single lower Q member (doesn't need to be huge) with balanced others. The low Q guy gets 1 higher opponent, the higher more equal guys get slightly less. The lower Q guy then gets boosted with loans and bonuses. Thats one way, there are many. Think tactically.

PS. I'm sure there will come a day when I will sacrifice my 2 matches (hoping to snatch a point) and boost others by loaning my best players to increse their chances. Throw away 2 games to increase chance of success in up to 10 others.

The "problem" with top eleven is evrybody who uses the forum will eventually catch up with this tricks or nordeus will try minimize them.

Im not saying people should not share as im benefitting also, only that people shared with nobodyelse but me haha

Great trick, thanks

hmmm, I 'm not sure about it.
Two teams I have in FA groups were tanking and they have about seven-eight 7* players.
NIK is in OMA group with other members of the forum, some of them also with high q players so we had draws vs 7* (some of our oppo teams had plenty of 10* players but they were from Germany, Switzerland and US so we didn't make any report ).
Of course the reason I was tanking wasn't asc. games (just to avoid the same strong opponents I had in CH.L. draws and get some of my players stronger and go for the treble).

But the main purpose is the three official competitions of my team.
I can't see the reason why keep tanking to have a strong team for FA groups.
The only worthy prize is to be among the 7-8 top positions of the world.
but I think is too optimistic to make a plan (tanking included) for finishing in top10.
hey, this is TE

Yeah valid points Nik but my main point was not that tanking is a valid strategy but as an explanation for Q (on topic). You can 'promote' in Associations while tanking. Some ppl might like the idea now that they can ignore everything else and play 4 games on a weekend for what they think is/will be an OP experience.

Ofc it doesn't mean they are good, just high Q.

My days of alt teams are behind me but it might be an enjoyable use for 1 - not caring much during the week then 4 games and chatting with friends on a weekend.

I know what you mean but I wasn't sharing my secrets, I don't have any I just thought that giving some theoretical thinking might help folks get their juices flowing and get a better understanding of what they are seeing.

I don't think, that tanking is a valid strategy... especially for WorldTop100, because that means, they can't get the triple (easily). ;p If you take a look at most of the WorldTop100 FAs, you see, that most managers have up to 11 1* players for the draw-exploiting of the three competition.

What does the world top 100 ranking have to do with treble???? Answer: Nothing! They are both different competitions. Seriously, what logic were you even implying? The 1* players are for favorable cup draws, except even that stopped working as it used to. And Association world top 100 ranking is all about association cups and association wins and draws, all for a tally of points. But league, cup, and CL games and cups have nothing to do with that point total.

So where does the triple (treble) factor in all of this? Nowhere....

what does tanking will do to associations?>

say 4-5 members are 85-90% and they get promoted each season. 1 member tanking up to 120%. Will next season this association always meet other high level assocation?

With associations, you'll face associations with roughly the same quality as yours regardless of your association level.

What will happen if you have a tanking member is, the average quality of your opponents will be higher than the average quality during the previous season. That said, if its your strongest member that is tanking, it shouldn't hurt you, because that player will be able to offset his quality boost with loans. If it's one of your 3 or 4 weakest teams that is tanking, there is no advantage to tanking, and actually it will hurt your association, since the higher an associations's average quality, the higher the odds of playing against an association with 6 actives.

Hello Top Eleven managers, can someone plz tell me what to do about my low stadium turnout despite having a decent stadium capacity of 43k I have never had 20k fans on a match day my fans are always below 20k which is worrisome to me and I have car parking lot of about 2k. Please what can I do to bring more fans to my stadium.

Decrease the ticket prize till the stadium gets full.

And of course keep upgrading all your facilities.
