Next league opponent: is this real?

[Niddhoeggr]

Thank you ibangali & Killroy for your replies and your feedback!

Time for an update:

The game was a draw (2:2). I watched the game (and also another opponent manager of my league was on my side - I guess, he tried to suppress the by then strongest guy in the league. The opponent manager was absent.




I was 2:0 behind, then switched my formation to 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 (butterfly). Before that I tried it with 3N-1-3N-2W-1 (first defensive and afterwards offensive with no counter attacks). At the end I was happy to score two goals and get the draw. But I had the feeling, that there was more possible. ^^

Btw the SA of his defense suck with no aerial abilities. Penalty kick and corner kick is worthless. He has even 2 more corner kicks SA's in the team. More useless again. And he doesn't have a free kick specialist so his SA are not that much extra.

Ah thanks - I never payed so much attention to the actual SAs (or tbh I was in this case completely overwhelmed)

I took a closer look at my league opponents and gosh... this will be interesting. One guy is tanking but he has a strong team already. But because of that his stats are not appropriately displayed in the following league statistics:

Average Quality: 32,4 (78%; without the tanking manager 80%); I am on the fifth place with 35,5 (102,2%)
Average age: 24,85: me: first place with 71
Average value: 33,84: me: first place with 63,7 millions

I am tempted to think about tanking this season. But not sure right now... Does it make any sense to you to tank in my case (this is just my third season) or is it somehow anyway to late (because I made no special preparations). I already pushed my team with power training and packs and bought some replacements but I am not planning to invest more. I already spent 25 Millions and approximately 140 for new reinforcements (a few fast(er learning) trainers and one recommended player).

Thanks again and best,
Nidd
