I sold some players too, and the average quality of the top 14 was lowered, but not by much. I could not afford to sell the young players that I bought at a high price and that I invested greens into. Now, I find myself with +1 level teams in the CL with some of them having near same quality as my team but they have access to a higher level market and they can easily get stronger quality-wise. Despite all those complaints from users, Nordeus still do that bad practice. Well... they leave me with no choice but to start play like Nik and some others as from now if I want a much better chance at winning the CL and the Cup.
