    QPRFC,

    I just wanted to say, I feel for you Man. In my league I have a guy who not only bought one Token Team but "TWO" for Pete's Sake !!!

    Very unethical way to play the game and very frustrating to know you only have a shot at third when in 9 out of ten leagues I would be in first right now with my team.

    Every other day I feel like quitting, starting a new facebook account and building a team from scratch - Worst part is, it's a friend of mine that doesen't feel he is doing anything wrong

    Any Advice - please share or message me too,

    Thanks,
    FlyingV

    There is nothing wrong with buying a team. People can use their money however they want. Of course, it is not fair. I dont think Nordeus cares anyways how fair the game is as long as they get their money from Tommy-token.

    Let me put it this way, since I have not seen anyone put it this way before...

    Buying tokens is the same as using HGH/Steroids for athletes. EXACTLY the same. It enhances the performance, so to speak, and gives an unfair advantage in the competition. Nobody can argue this, as it is fact.

    So what Nordeus has done is create an unfair, free-for-all, football "simulation" website to make money. Pretty obvious right? (Spend/take) your (money/Steroids) and win against all the (free/normal) (managers/athletes). How am I doing so far?

    I know I can't compete vs Tommy-token. Best I can do is hope for a game-engine meltdown and eke out a one-of-a-kind upset or hope for a tie at best. When this competition becomes more fair(without buying tokens), I will start to care more because that will be when the real competition starts, when I will be required to really manage a team.

    Many managers have gone many seasons without buying tokens and they have won trophies, I know this has happened and will continue to happen, BUT there are more winners who buy tokens than winners who DON'T buy tokens. I would like to see Tommy-token compete WITHOUT buying tokens and see how well he does. Level the playing field and see if he is a manager or just a buyer.

    All this to say, there should be a separate website/competition where you can not buy tokens.

    No worries. I had the same situation last season where the guy had a stacked scout team with world-class players and trained to the max, but he tied 2 games and won the rest. (one of the ties was vs me..0-0 - the only team to keep him from scoring! )

    But 2 teams like this in the same league is just bad luck. I hated playing for second place, but I dont see much difference playing for third since you still get a "trophy". Nobody remembers who comes in 2nd. Great quote.

    Did you say it was the same person who owns both token teams?
