I barely scraped promotion last season and now have a 1* team, just under 2*.
League draw today there is one 2* team, two high 4* teams and ten 5* teams in with me!!!
This is the third season in a row where the gulf between my squad and the others is huge, are the doing the draw using only active players now rather than average quality?
Last year I woulda been in with a bunch of 2 and 3 * teams with maybe one or two up in the 5* range.
Level 29 by the way.
Then sir, you're very lucky because you've managed to avoid strong leagues for seasons...
I think it has been over year when they had started to draw leagues based on average quallity of teams.
My team Celtic played ALL 5* teams league for over 10 seasons in a row. Last 2 ones where a bit weaker.
I wouldn't mind if I had a 5* team, that's the point, I don't and it used to be that I would be in with teams roughly the same as me, not any more.Quote:

Yes, the league draw has changed the last seasons.
Now it's the third seson like this.
It's like the old times (one year before), with friends in priority and some low quality/ semi-abandoned teams.
Not the same quality teams anymore.

Maybe at a lower level there are more newly abandoned teams to make up the leagues with then.Quote:

my three teams have exactly the same draw style.
Did you have any friend among those teams ?
Because if you have a friend and he also have some other of those teams also friends, then he pulled you in his league.
Now, as the old time, friendship is important criterion so be careful.
It is not very difficult to get even a 4* team. In the old system, it was unfair where good 5* teams would not be promoted because they were matched with a ton of good teams, while 2* teams would get promoted because their leagues were terrible. This system is much more fair to everyone.
As for advice to you, I advise going for more players on transfer market. Go for 4* players and low-rated 5* players. You can usually get some of these players for 1 or 2 tokens.
Buy 5 star players. What's the problem?Quote:

i am at LV15... and I saw those same team since LV13.... i think... the top 7 promoted team stick together to the next LV?? cause all top 7 team in LV13 was in my last season.... and all top 7 in the last season are present in this season.....
i dont know bt i m assuming it got to do with your training level. i m at 19 and training level 38 that is why i think i m group with bunch of anandon and low quality team.
worse my market i dont get any nordgen since first day of the season. (i know the timing and try every 2hr no nordgen).
This is similar to the league draw systems in my very old days playing T11.Quote:

In the past, my team played with same set of teams for many seasons. But suddenly all of us separated in a season. I believe that this was manually manipulated by administrator.
can i know everyone level and training level? mine 19 training level 38 and how is your league draw.
I'm level 29 with training level of 48, not sure if you can infer anything from that.Quote:

So, even with random drawing, most teams will be about 4 or 5 stars. It's hard to maintain a 1 or 2 star team like yours.
now that we 're in the 4th day of the league, I took a quick look to the leagues of some friends I have from higher levels.Quote:

One at lv30 has 4 abandoned teams and another lv33 has 5 abandoned teams in his league.
So it's not 5* players or more to those leagues.
Probably you got attracted by some friend.
