Maybe Nordeus just needs to remove a star every season, regardless of whether a team is promoted or not?

So what's the point of making sure your team doesn't lose a star, if it means you can't win the league and also can't play Champions League or Super League the next season? It seems a pointless way of playing.

I'm only in my 2nd season, but I'm at least playing 'properly'. I buy players from the auctions. I sell players that aren't used very much (and usually have only 3 stars), to free up space on my bench and also get a few pennies together.

It's a decent free game, but it does need some work because I see weird results now and again. Just as one member has stated and suffered, I've seen the same thing - I watch a game against a poor team, and my team wins 2-0 (both goals scored late in the game); but where I don't watch a game against a poor team, my team has won 8-0 (goals scored throughout the game). It's just bizarre. Almost seems pointless watching the game.
