I always have good ST. My current ST scores 36 goals and has 28 assists this season without any set pieces. Just to make sure that his quality is more than qualities of AMx.

My ST has a bit more quality than my other attackers too, he did not assist by taking corners and he only took free-kicks from one side. So, maybe if some users get a good ST and train him to a good enough quality, the ST will perform better as opposed to using a 5-star striker but close to 7-star wingers in the same team.
Another thing is that my ST came with penalty kick special ability by default but people might tend to get the impression that STs with penalty kick specialist are significantly worst than those having one-on-one scorer special ability or free-kick special ability. It is more about the player itself than the special ability; the special ability is just an added bonus, and of course I would have prefered for a ST with free-kick special ability but not at the cost of him not scoring and contributing enough from open play.
I bought my ST last season (was 18 y.o) from the daily recommendation list as a suggested improvement over my what I would say a very average to crap performing 18 y.o ST that I bought that same season from the auction list. His first match was an association match and he scored 4 goals. After that, he was not that noticeable, and I will say that he was just good in the remaining of that first season, but the second season he is the player of the season so far.
The thing is that this game does (or surely did) favour attacking midfielders for goals, assists and high ratings, especially wingers, but it is not always the case that someone will have a bad performing ST or even a decent-performing one only. The two cases above are proofs itself, and Niks Inzaghi can be another one though he played him at times on the left wing as he trained him to play AML and he regularly took free-kicks in some period. But for me, those players are simply better as compared to others, that is, they have better hidden attributes. Their presence in the team are regular felt; they do not go absent for long.
Nik’s team is good, I have 6 star wingers, (high for my level) and they have scored 40 goals each or so.
And hardly any of the teams on my server could cope with them, the only team that successfully stopped them was Jaya FC, today with a shock 0-1 loss, and Rodrigo FC who were 19% weaker than us.
They beat us at home and it was our first time we lost at home in all competitions in 42 matches.
And my 36 game unbeaten streak came to a close too, I know I lost the cup final, but that was in extra time and it goes down on my club history as a draw inside 90 minutes so it counts.

the game still does favour aml and amr. Amc not so much. My amr last season at 68 q outperformed my st at 80 plus percent. And my aml who had similar q with the st was my best player. My st had more assists than goals. My amc had the best q and white skills took the fk and pk so it won’t be fair to include him. But yeah my aml and amr outperformed him as well.
My next opponent for associations matches, 149.2% versus 124.2%. :rolleyes:

Just great, no managers present. After 2:0 lead, his team managed to draw in 89'. Direct opponent for league trophy. Stats are sick.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fc65ebe01c.jpg
Yesterday, a team drew 3-3 versus mine in the second leg of the semi final of Champions League. His shot efficiency was 100%. ;)
I thought maybe the game wanted to console him given that he was going to be knocked-out. Today, I got another draw, this time in the league and nothing much was working after being 1-0 down very early in that match. Maybe the game wanted the team currently at 1st to secure title and that the team that was same pts as mine to have more belief he could end up at 2nd given that his team still had a strong opponent to face or something else but of that sort. I did not mind about that Champions League match, but the league one is annoying.
I know Fair play to him, it was so distracting, we got a free kick on the side of the pitch, we hit it over the bar, we had a counter attack that went to waste, one of my players hit it over the bar, in the 87th minute we got a corner and it went over the bar, and in the 90th minute, they got the winner, it was so frustrating, now, there is 1 point between first (me) and 3rd place, however 2nd and 3rd must play each other and on the final match day of the season.
CL Final tomorrow vs a 12% weaker team, I am considering not showing up because we have done significantly better in auto than we did when I was attending (weird)

Out of 4 CL Finals I was in, I showed up to three, we lost them all, and when I did not show up last season, we won 4-1 (we were playing a 23% weaker team though)
I am torn for my decision because the game is at a suitable time to watch.

Just the usual 100% shot efficiency nothing to see there, what was the quality difference, was the other manager attending? If so did he tactically change anything during the game that achieved this result?
I lost 0-1 today when the other manager was there, Quality Difference was 12.5%
I tried to switch to normal mentality and that probably killed us off, we missed so many chances but their team were quite decent.
The game engine let that team take their only chance and we missed all 5, the match stats did not reflect the score at all.
I know it is not a troll for me but let’s call it “frustrating”

Also Nik, I said to one of the devs last year when I was playing in the CL Semi Finals, And Lost 2-5 to a 10% weaker team so I got onto the support team and asked them what I did wrong and they said, that using a certain formation and my tactics at the time were silly.

Now I know why some people say there are no underdogs in the cup and CL finals. I expected a walkover being 30 percent stronger but experienced a brick wall. His GK was killing it and his team had alot more highlights than others I played against of similar quality. They attacked my goal over and over. It's shocking.

And we won the 9th Super League

At least won the Super Leguae....
After no change in the leguae the champion got on the first day already more then 10% ahead of all the rest like 116%
So my focus was for the SL
And wow, thats really high quality. Thanks.
I think 36 goals and 28 assist without set piece like you mentioned should be best performer or close to it. That’s not a big difference in quality so ST can perform. Just need to find the right guy. Mine was pretty similar in quality as well but no such luck for me
...and it all comes down to the last match of the season...

1st plays 2nd tomorrow, winner takes all. The season's head-to-head is one win each and a draw.

I got to the Quarter Finals this season by luck, I am in the final now but here is the story, we played a 1.5% weaker team, we were losing 2-0 by the 54th minute, we made it 2-2 then it was 3-2 to them and we got an 89th minute equaliser to take the away goal lead back to my stadium in a roller coaster game.
In the next game it was 0-0 in the game and we had our slender away goal lead and they were on the attack in the 89th minute, our defender cleared the ball, we went up the other end and scored and won the match.
Maths next 2 rounds followed with 10-1 and 6-0 aggregate victories to get us to back to back CL Finals, and we have yet to play the match.

Is it still worth it to leave 8 strong players + 4 weak players before the end of season? Or at level 70 it is not so important any more?
If you are at top level, then why would you do that if there cannot be any team from 1 level above you or why if you will be put in a mixture of levels in certain competitions even if you manipulate because of the limited amount of teams near the top? Manipulation can be done only when the advantages outweighes the disadvantages. At your level on your server, you should know better than us what is better for you. The situation is not same for all.
Of course you get penalised for such wrong decisions too, and during a period (some years back, when they introduced bonuses and assistant manager advice), users were getting punished hard for clicking the wrong bonus. Some users could click defence bonus but if that was the wrong option, they would conceed 1-2 goals almost instantly, one after the other. The effect is no longer that pronounced these days, but still there is an effect.
Great season.
Two trebles with my teams.
