Combined with the three 8 star loans from a tanking team he's turned himself from a 1 star squad (yes, squad. Every single player was 1 star this morning.) into a 6 star team for tomorrow. Tired of it.
So with the weekend out of the way I thought I'd go and have a look at the association we faced in the semi final on Saturday. And no surprise to find that the team that bought so many players for the weekend is now back to being rated 1 star for associations. Just 4 five star players in the whole squad.
I honestly have no idea how the practice of manipulating teams for associations could be controlled or even stopped, but while these sort of unsportsmanlike tactics are unchecked associations will remain something else within the game that has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
