Having repeated their first Season efforts and gained a League and Cup double last Season, Nouvion FC make a foray into the heady heights of Level 3.

Player of the Season Gary Sampson set several records during his first season with the Club, 5 goals in a match, 56 goals in 41 appearances, no less than 7 hat-tricks, including a hat-trick and a 5-goal haul in the same day, and Golden Boot for the League and Champions League, and joint top of the Cup goal scoring table.

This season, Nouvion start with the following players:
Attachment 118640
They hope to go further than the Quarter-Finals in their second attempt on the Champions League, and have a fairly tricky Group to negotiate first.
Attachment 118642
But first, there was the 1st Round of the Cup to get through, and they managed this with some style.
Attachment 118644
The Management couldn't resist trying to emulate the success of his Day 4 Recommended Player purchase last season (Gary Sampson) with this offering this morning...

We'll see how he gets on...
Red Kelpie FC had a stellar last season winning their first treble which is going to be harder to do again this season.
What did we learn last season ? You need some luck to land a treble
Where did you place last season? We won everything , treble
Are you participating in the Association's Cup? Not eligible till next season
What are your achievements in your Association? N/A
What's your current level? 3
What's your budget for this season? 6.24 Million and 99 tokens
Who do you want to replace? I want to replace 2 older players if I can find the right youngsters and get some squad depth.
What are your goals for this season? Win a second treble , strengthen squad with more youngsters
What's your training level? 35
Which will be your main formation? 3-1-2- 3-1 , my players have great flexibility of position so can easily change to either more defensive or more attacking when needed
Attachment 118658Attachment 118660
After taking the time to look carefully at my draws for this season and an opening day league match defeat.
I think a treble is actually out of reach. Winning a trophy if any would be an accomplishment.
Lesgue - My current quality is 6th best at the moment and i seem to have active opponents.
Targeting top 3 finish, at least get a plate if not a trophy
Champions League - 3rd best in my group and while other groups look weaker, each still has at least 2 with around the same quality as myself.
Expecting early exit or might just go for Super league
Cup - Every tie is a 50-50
Hope luck is on our side for the only possible trophy this season unless i also go for Super Lesgue.
After a treble, do the draws usually get tougher? At early levels when i got my first 2 trebles, i didnt experience this.
On the bright side, i think i will be more excited and on edge this season lol
1. I learned that anytime you put a lot of effort into your team thta anything is possible.
I placed second in the league, third in Cup, and won the Champions League.
2. Yes, I do participate in Associations Cup. Currently my Association is stuck in Gold division 3.
3. I'm at level 8.
4. Was around $50 to $55 M
5. I don't really want to replace anyone at the moment, but I always try to bring in better defense, so I'll start by buying a new CB, RB and a GK.
6. To try and keep the Champions League for two seasons in a row. At least win the double and if possible the treble.
7. I'm at training level 58
8. 3N-3W-2N-1-1
Sure I'm, as usual, but guess what ? ANOTHER TROLL RESULT FOR THE 1ST LEAGUE MATCH OF SEASON AHAHAH
My quality team 122, opponent quality team 98. Possession 65-35. Defeat 2-1.
Cheers.
Always ended up with either lost or draw in 1st league match. As expected lost away match yesterday to weaker team. Today back to winning ways. Hopefully the only L for the whole season. Lol
champions train, losers complaint
Yes, ( for my team)
Hadn't had a treble since level 3
Top six teams in the league will either be of similar quality or slightly higher.
Cup and CL - meeting teams one level up
If unlucky or lucky - will have some tankers in the group
But should you win a trophy - it will be much sweeter than conquer all in a weak group.
Anyway good luck!
Cheers
I don't know the specifics of your game, but that doesn't look like a 'troll' result to me... not in the way I would define troll result at least. It's a lower quality team narrowly beating a higher quality team having had less possession, probably playing on the break with fast attackers. It's disappointing but surely not particularly unusual (in TE or in reality)?
First troll result of the season, in second match of the league.
Me 114%, against opponent manager (of course not present) 86%.
0-2.
Lol.
Desert Rats FC received their new league roster yesterday and have their usual once-every-5-seasons friend-fest. Some of the other teams are long-term adversaries or ex-friends so this could be an interesting season, in the Chinese sense...

After the Day 2 Youth Academy graduates turned out to be a bit of a bust, the Management has done a bit of Transfer Market/Recommendation business and picked up some new defensive fodder and a replacement left winger:

Day 3 dawned with the Management checking the day's fixtures and realising that friend teams will play a big part in the season... At the end of the day equality of Quality was reflected in the two match results.
Attachment 118784
Today saw a tough Cup match against a +5% opponent and a League match against a -18% opponent that was trickier than one would expect.
Attachment 118786
Stats from the league match - 2 goals by the opposition, 100% Efficiency FFS...
Attachment 118830
Nouvion FC have a League that is in some ways more difficult than their previous two and in others easier. The two or three low-Quality possibly abandoned teams will be easy to overcome (in the first round of matches Svucha FC won their match against Scarlett 15-0), but the higher-Quality teams have already increased their Quality over the initial ones posted, and Nouvion will have to follow suit.
Attachment 118818
The new left-winger got into the thick of it during the past two days, and his four full appearances have yielded 9 goals, including two hat-tricks.
The Management have visited the Transfer Market and recruited three new players.

Day 3 started with Nouvion yielding 6% to their Champions League visitors and ended with a visit to their +12% League opponents, but they produced two excellent performances, including an 88th minute winner in the League match after the home side had dominated large portions of the match...
Attachment 118826
Nouvion faced their home League match with some trepidation as their free-scoring opponents were +6% Quality and had trounced the lowest-Quality team in the League the previous day, but they put in a tight-passing possession performance and AML Dorizon popped up 7 minutes into the second period and netted the only goal of the match. The Cup match in the evening was a cake-walk in comparison, their -45% Quality opponents being sent away smarting from an 8-0 defeat...
Attachment 118828
Top 8 teams in my league are of similar quality
Hopefully the trolls are evenly spread to other top teams
Cup and CL - mostly +1 level up teams
So far, I have lost both CL games, am topping my league, and I gave my Cup opponent 8-1 in the first leg. The thing is all my opponents are somewhat above my quality, or quite bellow my quality. So why is the CL not favouring me? Let's blame Nordeus... hehehe
Yeah, that's right
Gonna blame Nordeus for losing to a non attendance manager and more than 20% lower in quality 10 men team 😂
But, but....
Forgotten to thank Nordeus for defeating a 30% higher in quality with 10 men. To add insult- won by 4 clear goals. Oops- will keep in mind to thank Nordeus when meeting such teams again🤣🤣🤣
Day 5, and Desert Rats FC had a good away win in the League and their second draw against an equal Quality team in the Champions League.
Attachment 118868
Nouvion FC visited the poorest team in the League, who were playing a Goalkeeper in midfield, incurring the enforced 20% Possession penalty. An away win in the Champions League keeps up their 100% record this season.
Attachment 118870
Rather than be another one of those boring "games broken ,look at this troll result ,how can this happen etc etc etc " I say damn it , we dominated but didnt take our chances while our opponent took their only chance. Yeah the better team lost but thats football.
Attachment 118876
Ok, already out of the cup, one draw and one lost against a weaker opponent (20%).
Thanks Nordeus.
Defeated a 9 men team of slightly lower in quality by 2 -1
Thank you very much Nord
I do not know why but I feel that this season your game is completely destroyed. I am always looking for a logic to this defeat.

Attachment 118942
Desert Rats FC had mixed fortunes today, producing a very good League win over a long-term friend and adversary; and then a very poor showing in the Cup, only really starting to play when 0-3 down and losing on aggregate, by then too late to do anything about it.
Attachment 118944
In contrast, Nouvion FC continue to sweep all before them, left-winger David Dorizon leading the way with his fourth hat-trick in four days.
Attachment 118946
After two defeats in the CL, the Nebuchadnezzar finally have their first victory and are confident of making it to the knockout stages.
This is what the group currently looks like now:
Attachment 118978
I just noticed that only the club on top has scored as much as I have. We needed better defending (to maintain the goals we score) so we got a new goalie and another DC. Let's see how it goes.
Yes CL group stage a lot tougher now. Been leak goals like never before, against much lower opponents. Wierd TE19
champions train, losers complaint
Drew with 10 men team
Thank you very much Nord
sorry @talisman, wrong support button :p
End of the 1st Week of the season, and Desert Rats FC are having mixed results. Second in the League, Second in their Champions League Group, and dumped out of the Cup even earlier than last season...
Today they had to grind out the results, the first to a slightly higher Quality and +1 Level Champions League opponent; in the League the 11th placed -29%Q opponent gave them a good run for their money.

Nouvion FC have started the season on a flyer, and have a 100% record at the end of the 1st Week.
Today they had a League match against one of their top of the table rivals, and the match went to plan except for the straight red card issued to midfielder Chris Wright. The evening Champions League match was all one-way traffic.

Red and yellow cards are getting more frequent even though tactics are on the normal and easy side.
Counter attacks do not always result in a goal
The new "wave" - a back pass from midfield to gk
GK kicked the ball towards centre of the field. The player then pass (long) to a winger
Winger shoot - and it's a goal!
One touch football 😁😂
I don't know about your matches, but in match view I can never see any sort of counter-attacking being done when I have Counter-Attack set to on. Turn it off, and the first attack I see is a classic block shot and counter-attack...
Another recent trend I've seen is the number of yellow (and red) cards and injuries that are given to my MCs and it's not particular players, either. One player is targetted in a match and I have to sub him when he gets his first yellow, as later on, his sub gets one too, indicating that that might have been the original players second yellow... Next match, the other MC is targetted similarly, or both MCs are booked in the first 20 minutes. I have a couple of times had the situation where both first choice MCs are out - one injured, the other suspended - only for the Assistant Manager to 'conveniently' offer a nice juicy MC to buy - and when bought he is either booked or injured in his first match...
After a week of game play, my team finally found some sort of groove and is finally on a mini winning streak.
Training has leapfrogged my quality from 6th to 3rd best in league so far and is coincidentally where i stand in standings as well.
Still surviving in cup barely clinching the first leg of the round of 16 match up earlier by a 1-0 margin, still anyone's game.
And finally clinched my first CL win yesterday and moving up from last spot to 2nd.
I noticed the winning bonus does help keep my morale up longer than usual when i win.
As to whether the win bonus helps me win the matches, i cant really tell but am using the win bonus alot this season as i am going through a reshuffle and my team is weaker than usual so am hoping to get all the help i can get.

I am facing similar card problems this season. All seem to be playing central roles like you guys mentioned.
I am sure i will miss them at a later stage at some important knockout game.
Yes yes, i am one such beneficiary. My team is 3rd best in my group.
Yesterday i was up against a player around 12-15% better and i beat him 5-0. My only win this season in CL this season so far.
He didnt attend and i managed to have more possession with supporters at max 15%. Had win bonus on and max condition.
Didnt bother with morale because i really dont mind losing and trying for super league instead. I guess engine prefers to keep things really exciting!
is there any secret formation that is best for each seascon that changes every season?
because when i see some team with low % but 1st at table I try to copy their formation
Nouvion FC continued their good work with another couple of wins yesterday...
Attachment 119090
The game engine had chosen a team to be the league champ. It's pre-determine. Top 9 teams are roughly the same quality
Think from now on until the next updates - lower quality teams will give higher in quality teams a run of their money.
Case in point - association game
me - 114% , opp 134%
Won 1 , drew 1
Can picture him with all those "flowery" rant 😂😁
It's a struggle to overcome them slightly lower in quality teams. Think I will be out of cup competition again.
