The loan is for 8 days, it's got a timer. That's suits me I've got a fast trainer that I don't need to rush training now. I doubt I would of won if I didn't unlock the loan player

Congrats guys. Damn, my loan player was lower quality than all of my players. A mere 92 % and utter trash. My free player was trash as well at 104 %. None near any of my starting line up quality wise.
I'd be interested to see what players people got. I got an 18 year old striker on loan at 91% which isn't too bad cos he's young but no where near my first team with lowest striker at 120%. I got a 144% striker and AML with free kick ability at 25 years old
12fdennison, mine so far :
first loan :
ST 20 yo 91% no ability
own player :
ST/AMC 25 yo 144% free kick specialist
I did not reach the level of the second MC/AMC loan 8 star yet.
Ah nice. I haven't claimed that other loan player yet. Seems I got lucky with the first loan player as mine has 1 on 1 scorer ability too
How much does the second loan player cost to buy?
Thats ridiculous
Second loan is 20yo 140 % MC+AMC. Both loans end in 7 days, so not full season.

I got knocked out at the 8th match on penalties, I missed so many chances, at least 5 or six chances from the animations which was infuriating to say the least, but it is what it is, I was silly enough to spend the 19 tokens to re enter, which I regret as it was poor decision making, I got the 124% player and the 140% MC on loan for 8 days, there is no way I’m going to pay 627 tokens to sign him permanently.
I am happy enough with the rewards I received.
These are the two players I ended up with from the event.

If only I got the 50 rests, it would have been great.
The opposition quality seems to be determined when you entered the event. I've changed starting line up and subs/reserves, but the oppositions' quality seems to be constant.
So I'll probably play the last 2 games in the final hours. In the meantime, I'll try to prop up my DMC to 130 % (60 % now lol). Combining it with the 140 % loan player and the regular gains during a week of official games, I should be able to close the gap a couple of percentage points.
I'm at the last match now. Both loans are for 7 days. The 1st loan I got was 18years 92% (could be a fast trainer, I don't know yet, just 24tokens, 128m to keep him, that is a bargain), the 2nd loan 124% 23 years.
I am in gate 8 now.
The second loan is ....oh my god
Italian virtuoso 20 yo 140 ability, mc/amc with playmaker sa!
So demotivating that I can not even think of signing him as he costs as usual with quality loans 650 tokens .....
Anybody that has a nice tactical idea against Ajax and Monaco I am really interested as I am 10 to 15% minus against them
I have played against Ajax with a 4-1-3-1-1 and i lost by 1-0. But Ajax is 11.5% better than me, so i don't know if my strategy is the problem.
Attachment 135267 .
Now i'm thinking if i should play a 4-5-1 V, or a 4-2-3-1 and counter attack. I'm also considering playing with only three centerbacks, so 3-5-2 or 3-6-1.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Can someone help me with chelsea match ? What counter formation to use ?
It's a flank based formation. So it's all about closing them down. I'm considering 2-5-2-1. I've had success with it previously against superior teams who focus on the flanks. You could move up the AMC to ST position as well.
I find the formations very flexible. You could move up the defensive wingers to midfield or even AM positions or even as high up as ST positions so they act as second strikers.

Here's yet another iteration of it

19 * 3 = 57
That's how much I lost. I'm tucking my tail between my legs and leave. Got the 50 rest though.
Guy just play as defensive as you can. This is what my team did.

Played as defensive as I could. Formation 4-1-2-3 with backward arrows on everyone. AML/AMC/AMR were placed as deep as possible without the yellow triangle appearing on them.
Order Hard Defending, Low Tackling, Passing Mixed, Pressing low, Focus Passing obviously down both flanks.
The only changes I did was to change the position of my DL and DR according to opponents ML/MR and AML/AMR and sometimes pushed my DMC to MC to check second striker.
And the winner is .... mighty Bats from Valencia !
4-1 against Ajax
4-3 against Monaco in a tactical thriller
Both started with my 3331 bielsa style but especially in the final game I played a lot with tactics and instructions.
I did not even used the second free ticket in the end. My first ever full event completion.
Smacked Ajax 4-2 with a 4-5-1 formation with one of the DCs playing as a libero. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...de45a6c652.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3f2a5f310d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...98419e1d01.jpg
Not decided how I'll approach Monaco's 4-1-3-2 yet. If I had a third competent DC/DMC I'd probably play 3-2-4-1 or 2-3-4-1 with DML/DMR.
Lost 3-2. Not going to re-enter for 19T. In the last two games I had 4 penalties against me, 1 injury and 2 free kick goals conceded. I can't overcome such conditions. I'm happy with the 50 rest packs.
All in all it was a tour with lame rewards. Only the 50RP and 100T were worthwhile. Everything else in terms of rewards was absolutely useless.
ah damn.... mate. So frustrating to have 4 penalties against...
Well Monaco was a difficult one. Even if I usually find my way against 2ST formations no matter how difficult the opponent is , this one was tricky.
However . I think the most important thing is to find a way and win in mid. If you manage to circulate the ball better than them and have the possession at least even , with speedy counters you can get them.
Thanks mate. Well, that was my plan, hence the 5 man midfield. But it didn't help. I conceded 1 goal on kick off. Countered to 1-1 then had 1 penalty and 1 free kick against me resulting in 2 goals. I countered another one, but it was in 82'. I checked the STs as well, they didn't create anything of value. It is what it is.
Apparently in these events, white skills are secondary and overall quality is primary. The opposition has higher quality (15 % differential), but every single white skill of the opposition players' is considerably lower than my players'. In the final, Monaco's DR even had higher grey skills than white skills for several attributes. White skills were around 110-115 % on average. My ML/AML has an average attack of 185 %. My MR/AMR is even more savage, his attack is over 200 % eventhough the DL of Monaco was better than the DR. But still nowhere near even two thirds of my MR/AMR. My DR is an absolute beast all over when it comes to white skills and several of his grey skills are at 1 %. My DC averages almost 200 % in defence. But all in vain. It seems quantity trumps quality in these events.
As of lately I'm leaning towards the fact that overall quality seems more important than individual (white) skills.
