Hi managers,
each month I spend bunch of time boosting my team, improving my players, purchasing 2-4 new players, power training. I love this game, play for more than 3 years, visit every match, work with tactics, adjust formation. As a result, my team quality varies usually between 110 and 120 percent. I virtualy always win the league. I never tank because tanking is loosing on purpose which is not aligned with my feeling about the game purpose.
But as a result, the game regularly puts me against higher quality opponents, from higher levels, in both the CUP and CL. Sometimes I fight more succesfully, sometimes less. This season, I got eliminated from the cup already.
I must admint it has driven me crazy. What sense does it make to invest boosters, tokens and most importantly time and money in improving my team, when the game "rewards" me by taking opponents who did not invest anything, artifically "improving" them and making them 20 percent stronger, puting me against them a making me loose?
This situation lasts for many seasons. At the beginning of each new season I hope the miracle will happen and I will see the chance to win the trophies. But the miracles simply do not come. There is always at least one opponet extremely strong, so I spend even more resources and energy to improve my team even more (this season for example I bought the special deal striker for 369 token!) - and eventualy I loose.
I have decided to make an experiment. During next 3 seasons, I will not invest anything in my team. I will deliberately make it weaker. My estimate is that during the 3 seasons my team should drop to somewhere around 80 percent. I will se what opponents I will get and what results I will be able to achieve. I will post results here in this post if anyone is interested.
I know many of you have the same experience with the cup and cl draws. Has anyone tried similar experiment? Do you have any comments or suggestions? Do you think there is higher chance to be succesful with the lower quality team?
But I would like to conclude by saying that I regret the game makes me think this way at all. I would much rather focus on thinking how to improve my team to the best and win. The game makes me think how to decrease the quality of my team to increase my chance to win. I really dont understand why the developers think this is the way TE should work.
