Not knowing my league opponents has a direct effect on how I "spend" during the opening 48 hours of a new season
I farm, have never spent a centimos on Top Eleven and have enjoyed 21 seasons of success. 15 leagues, 14 champions leagues and 5 cups. 3 trebles included.
So for the opening 2 days of the season I'm in no mans land. Why "spend" money and tokens to buy new players, or use rest packs to boost existing players if the league turns out to be a walkover?
The flip side of this is that if the league turns out to be competitive I will need to "spend" and use resources to compete - having missed out on any bargains or brilliant players on auction during the opening 2 days.
My thinking is perhaps Nordeus monitor managers spending patterns ( and I'm talking not only within the game of Top Eleven, but also in the "real world") to increase players desire to open their wallets.
Managers who spend real money to buy tokens during the opening 48 hours of the season would be rewarded by having a better chance to improve their squad because other managers who wait to see the league draw will have missed out on some of the better players on auction and negotiations.
This is not a moan by any means. I play the way I play. But I would not be at all surprised if the league draw is kept secret until the Tuesday to increase revenue for Nordeus. If it is, fair play to them.
