How many tokens to go from 35.8 to 41.9?

So, I managed to beat the best manager in the cup in the quarterfinals .. great matchup, fun mind games as we each tried to outguess the other and after I won the first match 2-0, he strengthened his team through FA and gave me what for in the away leg.

Things looked good going into the semis - my hard training program had allowed me to build up a solid 1.5 - 2 point quality advantage over the remaining teams .... then, overnight my semifinal opponent goes from 35.8 quality to 40 then to 41.9 .... 10 players to world class and 1 to superstar, plus a couple scouts .. he had 4-5 scouts and 1 world class before ..

I figure he had to have dumped almost 3000 tokens to do that?

I congratulate you sir. You've never managed better than 2nd in a league, and have no CL or Cup trophies to show in 5 seasons. Now you'll likely have both a league, and a cup trophy! If you can't beat em, buy 'em! Bravo!

Whats this? Are more and more players now starting to wisen up to the great Power Training regime??? Has he decided... sod it... He will make his team as close to invinciblity?

If hes used Personal Trainer then we could be getting to Dragon Ball Z territory here... Over 9000 Tokens.

Was he the same level as you?

35.8 to 41.9 average quality is impossible to achieve thru overnight power training . So either he beef up with all scouts or personal trainer. If its personal trainer then the tokens spend will be unimaginable.

Hah, thats insane! He must be either mad or drunk for spending all that money on PT :p


"Houston, we have a problem"

He was level 6, I'm level 4 ...
As far as I can tell, he only replaced one player (at least only one player who started in the past 6 cup games), so it wasn't scout buying or even FA buying (his 5*s would be 7* to me) ... and the initial jump from 35.8 to 40 took place within an hour before our first match ... then improved to 41.9 the night before the second leg. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure it was personal trainer.

Then all hes done is bought some new players here.

he could have saved up a whole lot of skill points on his players and thought he would need them now

My team quality went up by 2.5 when I sold most of my bench players (its end of the season, guys...) and I even got some cash out of it (not much since most of them were crappy players).

Yeah I did it the same, but his not talking about the team value

maybe he just knew how to push a rigth buttons :cool:

It could have been a combination. Like you did, he could have a sold a couple of players of high 20s quality that could have brought it up by 1.5-2 points. One-two new players, power training, it doesn't necessarily mean it was thousands of tokens.

Umm ... read that again July. He only replaced ONE starter .. after the first match ... the rest of his starters all jumped 1 or 2 complete levels. Then many of them jumped another level two days later.

That's most definitely not buying new players.

At least half a dozen players jumped a second level within two days ... 75 skill points, minimum .. can you power train a player an entire level in two days? I don't think so.

So, he had to be using personal training the second time. Therefore it's a pretty logical conclusion that he did so the first time as well. At 4 tokens a skill point, he had to have dumped 2700-3000 tokens into his team.
