High chances of this being true brother :p

I have worked hard plenty myself in many past seasons. Made good signings, committed to training, flexible tactics, everything. Then out of nowhere in order to win the Champions League I have to face a team that is 20-30% stronger than mine (and all other contenders for the same trophy), usually a manager who somehow added a special ability to all of his players and improved their quality drastically over night. And this is not just an isolated incident, it's a regular occurrence. Those managers seem to just snap a finger and win the treble. Now is that fair towards me and others who can't afford to invest real money or decide to keep it for far more important things than some silly game? Frankly I'd bet that putting anything above minimum amount of real money is more likely to give you a bigger advantage over others than tanking one season.
All I wanted to do was give myself a better shot for CL just for next season (for which I actually have to win the Super League this week so it's not like I can afford to just sit back and spectate this season either, if anything I have made a gamble by putting all eggs in the SL basket), nothing more than that. Because my Top Eleven ambitions are lower than most other managers - win every competition once and be done with it. I am going to be promoted in the end so there is no chance of me of gaining any advantage anyway...
I have lost a good number of games this season due to my non challant goalie. Its been long since I had those goal keepers that occasionally win MOTM. Am hunting for one now as we target the quadra next season or the season after.

Yep, got a keeper that mad 28 clean sheets in 42 matches, but he let in a bunch of goals in the games he concedes in, he conceded 4 at home yesterday to knock me out of the CL.
And yes, next season we must win the quadruple, league and cup is good but not as good as I can be. Good enough this season though.

I have been using my Youth Academy player as a GK and I am very pleased with his performance even though his quality is not that high.
I have thought about that, but that place is very expensive. As if that's not enough, you don't have control over the training, like you cannot choose which SA you want for your goalie.
But if I get a young lad from the market, I can by God's grace train him to my taste [emoji4]

It's make or break this 2 days
In a couple of hours time - an association match against a tanker
Few hours after that a league match against 2nd position team - lose that - no trophies again 😑
Later in the evening - 2nd leg of association match
Near to midnight ( my time) - CL final against a tanker
Don't think I will have any chance and only hope for a troll.
Well - till next season
Cheers
I know sometimes it sucks. The only thing that can comfort you that the association matches does not harm team's condition.
Yesterday we secured the league title with a 4-1 win and we are now 7 points in front with 2 games to go!
Today also CL final vs 162%, I'll try my best but it will be very tough.
Wow I can't believe it, we won 4-3. The troll results in finals worked for me one time. After 5 finals lost in a row we lift the Champions League!
Fortunately one of his DC was suspended and he needed to change formation to one, where I know how to counter. Still lucky.

With 1 league match to go I only draw once the rest I won...
Also won the Cup final.... That make 4 cup back to back...
But I lost the CL title and because of that no change for the Super Cup.....
Next season I will make this my goal once again win all the titles...... with no draw manipulation.....
When you manipulate you get situations like Max,,,,, win almost all league matches (only 1 lost) but maybe lose title because of there is only 1 compettor in the leguau...
By the way.....I hope Max can win the title..
You are right, but without manipulation it is also not easy. This season came very close, won CL and League but lost cup final. My team is 138% and I can beat almost any opponent on a good day, I know that, but at the end it is also luck involved.
If you don't manipulate, you can afford to lose a game or two in the league, but CL and cup you always get good competition, can't afford to slip there.
We won the final yay!! But was it a troll result in my favor? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2134fc90aa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c814ee49f.jpg

Yes, currently leading the league by 6 goal difference so my opponent must win 7-0 now to overtake me, I lost two and drew one game all season yet I have lost at least two trophies because of that.

By the way maloukees, I did not manipulate the draw, I kept all of my players. And I am did a good job I think, about 4 or 5 teams in my league were over six stars, I am nearly 7 now, and the second place guy right now is 127%, I am nearly 116%, none of this was with spending money or manipulation, I got my tokens from associations which I won’t get this season because we are condemned to relegation now, well almost certainly, we need to get a 36-0 tomorrow which won’t happen.
I have never manipulated, never did it once, I admit I tanked once but that was because I was taking a break for a while.

It’s no problem, I would never manipulate but at least I have the chance to take the title of that guy, the 2nd place guy has 1 league and 3 CL’s but he didn’t tank, he has a decent record just came runner up probably in most of his leagues, must be frustrating for him, he is a great supporter though, he has supported me in most of my league matches and in the cup and CL he has supported me, I really want to keep him on my friends list but I also want to remove him so I can avoid him next season, I don’t know what to do with him yet.

Managed to win the CL against my friend who had the same rating(3-1), 138%, quite a bitter succes, but it had to be done...The cup defeat was sour.....
Suazo with a double assists :cool:
Earlier when I used to play I always used to complain about how I can't find a decent GK.
I tried so many GK and every one turned out to be a dud.
But in my second beginning in Top Eleven Nordeus has given a godly GK for free. He is a product of the Youth Academy and is a fast trainer, not the fastest but decent enough for greens to be invested in him.
Today he made some crazy saves. He saved 1 goal from a scenario which till now I have always seen resulting in a goal.
He then proceeded to stop 2 back to back penalties in penalty shoot out. He is the reason why today we won our 2 CL trophy. I have decided that I won't sell him and have planned his retirement at our club.
And we won the 13th Super League :cool:

Is it common to have only 8 mins between league and super cup matches? Has anyone experienced this in your previous seasons? Am so frustrated with the time allocated for my Super Cup. I don’t know what i should do. I doubt i have enough time to do anything and i can’t remember if there will be 2 training sessions required before the Super Cup. It looks like i will have to go into the match with almost no preparation.
Plus i ain’t a favourite for the Super Cup. Less than 20 percent diff in quality. This is really worrying. Isn’t there some rule or a minimum time between matches?
My main league opponent spectated my game today, he will win top scorer but we are looking forward to our first league title after rebrand. Our SuperLeague final opponent is very similar in quality and will be missing their top scoring and top rated aml. They are still dangerous and will not give us consecutive trophies without a fight.
After finishing two previous seasons trophyless and hardly playing this one which was absolutely plagued with injuries, finally a positive. Performance of the season in the Super League final. I'll be back in the Champions League despite finishing 5th or 6th in the league tomorrow.

Here is hoping better days are ahead.
I've made it to the Super Cup for the first time, yet my the scheduled fixture time is 19:17. I have a league match kicking off at 19:15...how will that work?
You mean as soon as the league match is over, you have a the Super Cup Match in 8 minutes, I was thinking you meant that the Super cup match starts starts 8 minutes after your league match starts.
Anyway, it is actually sort of common, I have seen it a good few times before my league match started 15 minutes after my Super Cup Match ones, it isn’t extremely common, but it is not uncommon either.
