Super League competition for first time

First season of the new competition, the Super League and let’s take a look how it’s going.
Using also the old version.

The team
This season I ‘m participating with a reserve team I have, ManU which finished 7th in a lv6 league.
It ‘s a team that I made for experimental reason, doing some test, playing for fan without really coaching, saving some sources and the plans were to start again from lv1 after take over but this option stopped suddenly before have the chance to do it.
ManU also took place in this contest of Khris some seasons ago

The roster
This is the roster the 1st day and then I bought some new players. I don’t want to have a big roster as I ‘m gonna stay again in the same level so the target was to find and have players in multiple positions. From previous season I started participating in a very good FA group.
Attachment 72677

Attachment 72678

Group games
Usually I ‘m playing T11 from my pc so I use the old version as I have also two other active teams and three browsers open at the same time.
So it’s interesting to examine how things look with the old version (for my friend cookizz too).
The games of S.L. have orange color . We must be careful with that as in previous seasons this was the color of the friendly games. Same with our friends who also playing S.L. (I usually don’t support in friendly games).

Attachment 72679

Opponents
Let’s see my group opponents
This is Rookie, finished 6th
Attachment 72680

This season he is in my league (just to remind, I ‘m staying in the same lv as I don’t have the time to play with a third team)
Attachment 72681

The second is Bayern, a very weak team.
- For sure he lost some seasons but now he is 3rd in his league.
- This is a league with very weak teams. I thought that those “weak” leagues with semi-abandoned teams was stopped.

Attachment 72682

Attachment 72683

Attachment 72684

This is the third and the weaker team Dayvis. The mystery here is why he hasn’t in his profile the position of previous season league ? and why he is playing in a Lv6 league ?
- His profile (in the new version too) it’s empty like never promote to the next level but then how is he playing in Super League ? When I asked if teams promoted from 9th position (as before some teams promoted from 8th position in next level) will also participate in the next S.L. the answer were no.

- Taking a look at his profile, also reminds me a bot team (weak players, few money and stadium seats) but “Dayvis” it’s not a bot name (nordeus generated teams).
Probably an abandoned team which used to complete our group of 4 ?

Attachment 72706

Attachment 72707

CH.L.

Some more things to say (about the old version).

I cannot see the S.L. competition but now if I ‘ll go to CH.L. competition, it’s not empty (saying the usual – you ‘re not participating this season in CH.L.) but it shows a CH.L. competition (the groups so far), unknown to me. I don’t recognize any of those teams except 1-2 who are also in my Cup.
Maybe it’s the “connected” CH.L. from where the 3rd position teams will fill my S.L. draw ?
Don’t know, we ‘ll see later.

Attachment 72686


Stats
In old version, doesn’t show in my players stats the goals they scored in S.L. . It’s empty but when I go to the stats of the team, I can see that those goals counting there.

Attachment 72687

Much better stats
Attachment 72688

Finance
Those are the prizes of the competitions. In down right corner, it,s the money from the CH.L. I can see.
According to that announcement , the prices for the winners were increased from this season.
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...increases.html

If we see the old prizes from this very useful thread of J4, the prize for the Lv7 CH.L. winner was 1.22 M’ and now is 5.27 M’. If the money from the final (4.06 M’) included, then it’s the same. Maybe because it’s from the old version. If someone is playing in a lv7 CH.L., could give some info here.
According also from J4 thread, I ‘m playing in a Lv9 Cup.
The prize for the winner was 1.74 M’ and now is 7.5 M’ – 5.78 M’ (of the final) = 1.72 M’.
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...onsorship.html

So, are those winner prizes are extra ?
Don’t know. I hope that I ‘ll win some title and examine I further.

- S.L. has one more round (and extra money) from CH.L.
- Now the Cup has one less round as there are 64 teams instead of 128


Attachment 72689

The group
So, I past easily from the groups
Attachment 72690


K.O. rounds
And that’s the draw
Attachment 72691

Other teams
My other active teams, NIK lv26 and RINOKEROS lv13 won the league last season and this one they ‘re playing in a +1 lv CH.L.
Well, that’s not new …
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...aw-system.html

So I decided to go for the Super League as there are many strong teams +1 level and few chances to win the cup. Also it would be nice to add this new cup in my trophy room. It’s little complicated as some results are unpredictable.
Let’s see if I ‘ll manage to finish in 3rd position and whatever comes later.

Attachment 72692

Attachment 72693

I ‘ll update this thread with some news. If you want to ask or add anything , don’t reply all the post, just copy/paste the relative phrase.

Thanks a lot for your information. Before reading this, I don't know anything about design of SL except that it starts on season day1 and CL group stage 3rd placed team will join SL at one point.

I guess the weak team FC BayernMunchen might rank 8th in last season. Nordeus does not create a new picture of trophy of 8th placed team in old T11. So 8th place trophy of previous season could not be shown in manager profile. This team might rank 7th place in the latest season that it promoted before last season. And this is the last one shown in his trophy room.

Are all friendly (Association and ordinary) matches shown in silver/grey/white color instead of yellow in this season?

In this season, I no longer put much effort to manage my teams and don't care about their positions. But I still login to keep them existing. One of my teams still has a chance to rank 3rd in CL group stage and to be moved to SL. Probably I will experience participating a competition that even if I will win, I don't even know before the start of next season.

Yes, the winner's prize is extra. You will win 4.06M for the final and 5.27M for winning the lvl7 CH.L (9.33M in total).

I just notice that even my team which failed to promote in last season connects to a CL that it does not participate. So it may not a simple connection between one SL to one CL.

yes you 're right about Bayern , in the new version has the 8th ranking but you know I messed up a little the part about the my opponents :p
As I was doing some other jobs too, something went wrong in copy/paste - lol
I was talking about the last team of the group, Dayvis, there it's the mystery.
I edited the 1st post and now you can see what I 'm talking about.

Ok, thanks for clarifying but still I miss something :confused:

According to those calculations about CH.L., we have (games X money) :
Groups (6X1.42=8.7) + qf16 (2X1.85=3.7) + qf8 (2X2.4=4.8) +semi finals (2X3.12=6.24) + final partic. 4.06 = 27.5 M’
>>> total money till the final - it's the same so far
Old winner’s prize 1.22 +27.5= 28.72 , new prize 5.27 + 27.5=32.77

In the thread/ announcement saying

Quote:

---

So, teams winning the Champions League, the Super League, or the Cup will get 75% more cash than they are currently getting,

---

But that’s not +75%, it’s about 15% in total
and if we talk about the last game only, then it's + 330% :confused:

Under the current Topeleven 2016 version (new version), do all teams can view progress of 1 league, 1 CL, 1 SL, and 1 Cup?

My Level 33 team just secured 3rd place in CL group phase and will enter SL. So I will soon know how user will play SL with old version.

But I don't know the fixture schedule of SL. As I cannot manage my teams in next 2 season day, probably my team have already been eliminated when I will see it again.

BTW, I think the last matches of group stage of CL since this season may be more interesting. Almost all teams can still find a reason to compete. Some teams want to move up to top 2 or secured top 2 positions to play CL knockout phase. Some teams want to move up to 3rd place to play SL. Some teams want to move down to 3rd place to play SL instead of SL. You may not know the opponent want to win or lose.

Unlike T11 CL, in real life European Champion League, I don't think any team want to move down to 3rd place to play Europa League.

I guess you are right. Did some math and the 75% increase seems to include only the final and the winner's prize. It used to be about 5.3M in our level 7 example, and now it's about 9.3M.

Still, that's enough to buy 1 more player at this level. The main idea was for the winner feel the advantage he gets from winning the tournament. Up until now, it didn't matter that much, whether you are first or second, in terms of cash. Participating in the final was enough to get 80% of what the winner took home.

In this regard I believe that the 75% calculation was made with the final as a starting point, all rewards before that being disregarded, because that's where the change comes into play.

@Jeeves
Still, the winner prizes are dull.

In my level the winning money prize are a bit useless as they are not even enough for a high profile player.
I may buy a leg or an arm of a player with that money.
Also in high levels a good managers never lacks of money.

I know tokens is out of the table, but I think some good gift of packs like in associations would be a better temptation.

All in all, winning a title just satisfies your internal need of winning.
Practically in the game is useless.

And it is really worrying that after so many years nothing effective happens on this area.

Sorry @Nik wrong thread, maybe a suggestion thread to sum up some good ideas would be better
Edit: Here it is http://forum.topeleven.com/suggestio...tml#post427086

I am anyways more than happy with the raise of price money. The cup's used to be ridiculous, it is now very good. At some point, it costed me money to win a competition. Now it's solved but I do not need money anymore !

The Bug
I (still) have a bug in asso games, where even if I remove my win bonus, the game continue to giving it to my players.
http://forum.topeleven.com/bugs-tech...on-matchs.html

The same thing is happening in S.L. games now with ManU.
It gives a win bonus even if I never set this.
Actually it's the lv1 win bonus I used before two seasons, when I played in CH.L. at level 5.
The bonus now it's 200 K' , at lv 6 it was 125 K' and at lv5 75 K'.
I was thinking to set the new bonus of 200 K' and then remove it but it's too risky because this also can stuck and have to pay in every match - even the easy ones, 200 instead of 75.
Too bad because ManU is not so rich as NIK and also in lower levels money is a problem.

The fail here is when you touch the Bonus from the old version.... that do not apply the change in the new, I noticed this when I changed hthis few days ago and theres a problem of synchronization and saving the changes made to apply these when one open the game again... or something like this xD


Nik :
This gonna be a long thread so let's use our super mod powers - lol
- So, you believe that if I 'll go to the new version, set and remove the bonus from there, I 'll get rid of the bug ?

As many people (members or guests) reading this thread, I want to make a notice.
Aiming for the third position of CH.L. is not so simple.
You can promote as 2nd but you can also stay out of any competition if you finish 4th.
The game is too unpredictable to make any plans and be prepared for anything, without complaining after that.

Give you an example :
RINOKEROS got a draw in the last game vs Nimmerland in the last game of the group. I was loosing and scored at 88’ . Till that min. I had 4 points, when Nimmerland was passing as third with 5 points.

Attachment 72814

NIK also had to be careful with the games. At some point, Dhaddhank which is a good +1 lv team, won the first of the group and I won Kasem (he is a T11 team, not fb , so I don’t talk with him).
That was a little troll there lol

Attachment 72815

Attachment 72816

This is the draw for RINOKEROS.
After having a draw in a +1 level CH.L. (lv14 teams), the same story continues in S.L. too. most of the teams are from a level above.
There aren’t lv14 league champions because probably they ‘re also playing in a +1 lv (with lv15 teams).
Also I can see some LV13 teams that finished in 5th. Maybe also this position (the first of 4 S.L. positions) also leads to a +1 level.
The lucky ones here are the teams that finished in 2-4 position of their leagues and then finished 3rd in their CH.L. group. Probably that’s the way to be top dog in S.L.


Attachment 72761

Intermediate :)

Among my oppo there is also that profile. I hope to be together in the final
Attachment 72817



A song to dedicate :o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2WzocbSd2w

Same is the draw for NIK too. Only 3 lv26 teams, the rest lv27 , without the league champs who are playing vs lv28 teams.

Attachment 72762

ManU had of course the easiest draw as finished 7th in league. Every team is from the same level except a lv6 champion. I don’t know yet if it’s coincidence but there aren’t 5th position teams.
Also the teams which came from CH.L. as third in rank, are from the CH.L. I saw (and still can see from my old version).

Attachment 72773

But it seems that teams who won last season the league, continue to be “unlucky” in S.L. too.

Attachment 72818

Attachment 72819

Old version glitch :

Ronaldo broke the record of the team with 500 goals
Attachment 72776

but as NIK is playing in S.L. now, the goals from his CH.L. disappeared :p

Attachment 72777

Players stats
Ok, how it works.
If our team now is playing in S.L., in the stats of the player there aren't any more the goals (and matches) from CH.L.
This is Maradona ( :p ) of RINOKEROS.
My team now is playing in S.L. (as third of a CH.L. group) and there aren't stats of CH.L. anymore
Attachment 72843

Maradona scored two goals today
Attachment 72844


and those goals added to his total goals.
He has the team record and those are before and after the S.L. game
Attachment 72845

So if we 're looking for a player in the market, we may miss if and how many goals he scored in CH.L. if his team now participating in S.L.
I think it would be good to add one more column for S.L. stats too.

*** I completed previous posts

Almost a fatal mistake
As I said, ManU gonna stay in the same level so in my league games, I 'm using the weaker players of my roster.
I missed (confused) with the game hour and I realized that I 'm playing athe 2nd K.O. round when I saw it in Nik's friends schedule.
I oppend the app, but could make a change because the game was starting in two minutes.
I made two quick subs to my defenders and later another one, using continual my defense extra bonus.
Lucky me, Ryan Giggs , the great, scored at 89' min and I passed to the next round so I can continue with this thread :p

Attachment 72926

Attachment 72927

Before the finals I

NIK had some good and some adventurous games
Attachment 73205

Attachment 73206


Man U almost disqualified at the semis, won 0-3 out but lost 0-2 vs a great performance of oppo GK :p
Attachment 73207


RINO had some good performances
Attachment 73208


but also was very close to disqualified from LUKIA.
Lost 2-1 away but the team woke up the last minutes and got the ticket for the final.
Attachment 73209

Before the finals II
So all my teams are playing in the finals :)
ManU has some more chances as playing with an equal lv team
but who knows, this is T11 ;)

Attachment 73210

Attachment 73211

Attachment 73212

Congrats @Nik, nice this 5-5 lol

Hope friday will be a great day for many forumers, hope in my final too I will add in ma trophy room this nice new trophy as 50th club anniversary reward :3

Mission accomplished. All my teams won the first Super League trophy :cool:

ManU playing in a same lv S.L. won easily the final 5-0. Oppo lower quality (there were many teams with higher q than him) and formation helped to that.
3 goals from Lee Sharp, 2 from F-K.
Attachment 73394

ManU gonna stay in the same level again and try for the repeat, playing in the next S.L. from the 3rd position of CH.L. groups.
Attachment 73395

RINOKEROS also had a great game and won that +1 lv Super league
Attachment 73396

This season also stayed in the same level and get stronger.
Attachment 73397

After my S.L. final, I started selling some players of the team so to lower the quality (with 9 high q players and 5 low q) so to have a more logic Cup draw. Playing again in CH.L. after I won the S.L., I can aim for the treble (and that’s an interesting but risky method ).
Attachment 73398


As there was previous conversations about morale, I want you to observe how was the moral of my players after the final. It’s a mix of poor, good, very good and superb. I stopped using morale boosters to have always at max the bar. I just use the moral as an indicator to observe condition of my players. 2-3 days ago, I gave a double booster to Batistuta, my main ST who was in a bad form period and set it in superb.
After one day, his moral dropped again and in the final he was my worst player so I had to sub him.

NIK also played in a +1 lv Super League (like the CH.L. he was) and had a tough opponent in the final.
Playing with 4-1-4-1 vs a very difficult formation, the donut (3-2-3-2), managed to win with 1-0 as oppo GK with 8 saves didn’t let us for a bigger victory.
Attachment 73399

Winning the S.L. cup (and the Cup too) and this league, I have a “double” ticket for the next CH.L. I just hope to be among same level teams so to have a chance for the original treble this time .

If you go in the old version, we can see that the S.L. cup isn’t among the trophies or the history of the team (the finals so far).
Attachment 73400

Attachment 73401

So I won’t go (by my own will) for another one as I like to get richer my trophy room. The target was just to get this historical 1st new cup and having the experience.

Let’s see about the new season.
I wish you to have a lucky draw :)

Οk, new season and I have those new NIVEA trophies and free jerseys (I hope they 'll send me some cream too as I really like to use their after save :o ).
Attachment 73484

ManU was tanking but now can play in the new CH.L. (same level teams).

RINOKEROS also was tanking and I thought I could go for the treble as I gathered some extra sources and the basic team was almost ready.
My CH.L. has teams from the same level and teams from a lv bellow (the league winners).

Unfortunately in the A there is a powerful team which I don't think I can win.
Maybe I 'll go for another S.L. from 3rd position and another tanking season. Maybe next season I 'll be more lucky.
Attachment 73485


NIK is playing in a +1 lv CH.L. . I was hopping to count me as S.L. winner and put me in a same level CH.L. but priority was the League cup I won.
There are many powerful teams there but I really can't win this team - Sadnes , who was tanking and won the CH.L. of previous season :eek:
another fail :(
Attachment 73486

Nik,
That´s Sandnes it´s the next town to me lol ;)

Can we start abbreviating it from SuperLeague to SCC- Skin Cream Cup?

Lol
