Top Q team in my league by 10%,looks good so far
I've had to improve my team by 10% to be marginally the best quality team(at the moment), this will be a proper season as loads, most in the league, are in the 80's and 90's % think only couple of teams in 70's. big change on all other seasons to date where mostly top 4 has been a guarantee and often a 2 team shoot out
I got a challenging league draw full of long time rivals. But it's the first time I'm seeing +2 level teams in the CL. I'm level 39 and my group has a level 40 and 2 level 41. The 41s are 20+% stronger. Looks like I won't be making it far.

The new players were eased in over the two Legs of the 1st Round of the Cup, but all are in the squad for this afternoon's Champions League Group match.

Second team Holmesdale FC (Level 8) had a tight Cup 1st Round against a side +3%Q and shaded the tie with a 1-0 home win and 1-1 away draw.
With a monster set of League opposition, third team Moon Base 1 FC (Level 6) are concentrating on the Champions League and Cup this season, their 1st Round Cup tie was a relatively easy 8-2 aggregate win over a -18%Q side.
Both the junior teams have concentrated on replacing low-Quality players with cheap (token-wise) high-4* and 5* Transfer Market buys, as their only income is from Daily awards and competition prizes.
My 69 T scout DC is turning out to be angry like Pepe. Got a red card for spitting in a secured match getting a 2 match ban and he also got booked in the first league match lol.
Another season, the same old story.
Champions League.
-12% unmanaged team, 1 level higher than me.
2-2 and I scored a penalty at 86th!
This season will be a nightmare.
OK, so perhaps the Troll is playing for us this season...

On to the next match... and I think they'll have to concentrate on the Cup this season...

With any luck they'll be able to sneak into the Super League this season - hopefully!

...can we go hibernate for the next 25 days?
gonna be a season full of ups and down, so far I've unexpectedly won 4-1 before unexpectedly losing 3-0 to the same team, thankfully that saw me through on away goals, I think the 2nd result was my fault for not preparing the best, was at work and the players started unfit and I made 3 subs at half time because of that but that weakened the team etc basically I didn't have time to watch or prepare properly, anyway, 1st league game was an amazing 6-1 win, and then a 1-0 loss in the champions league against a +1 level higher than me team

Is it possible for the game system, software algorithms and so on to be impossible to beat the same team?
I say this because last season I faced the team in question in Cup and he won me both in the first leg and in the return (and at that time we were equal team) and it turns out that today he played against the same team also in Copa, this season, and he has won me again (and this time with an average difference of quality superior to yours).
Playing very defensive with the Girona FC
winning the 1st place in the SL group stage vs a 84,9 with our 67,5

Anyone else feel like there is a programmed pattern to each season? Not sure if it's my imagine or a myth but;
1st week of season always seems to see more random results. More injuries. More cards.
Middle weekend of season seems random/troll results.
Cup final day random/troll. Cl final not so much so.
Cup and cl sfs more cards.
When I see cards and injuries appear to be triggered when people enter or exit a match it makes you question how cynical the programming really is.

First three League matches, and it looks like Moon Base 1 FC are being watched over by a benevolent spirit...

The Management managed to pick up a 9T 5* ST from the AM Recommendations this morning, so a good day so far...
Yes, but the random results usually don't come this early in the season in my experience. It's normally the 4th match of the CL group and around 2nd weekend in the league. I think nordeus wants close league races in hopes someone spends some money to try and win it.
Finals, I think it's more the case of semi-active managers getting a run of good fortune in the early rounds then deciding to make a 1-2 week detour into competing. For example, training bonuses might normally be 14% but for cup final they are @ 40%.
alex fc 0-5 Hakurei United
Decent gane against abandoned team. My Back, Trippier made it 3 assists to his name and now leads the top assists challenge
After 2 draws and a win in a league that qualtiy-wise I should be crushing, I've decided to tank out the rest of the league season with my 2nd team.
9 of my first team have 2 years remaining on their contracts so tanking this season makes sense to go for a good draw 2 months from now with a lot of finely-tuned out of contract players. My squad isn't performing in CL matches as well so I need some time to figure out where I am deficient in my planning and game tactics.
Not a good start of the season.
In last seasons my tactic and orders were fine, now it seems that they do not go well.
Every match is a war, weaker teams, even abandoned, put me in difficulty, despite bonus possession of 15%.
My players missing many occasions in every matches.
Bah.
Desert Rats' third injury this season - and it's the third of the new recruits sidelined, this time for 13 days... :mad:
