[Official] New Association Tournaments - Live Now - What's new

Asso tag: #MEP2HI
Your reply is a ‘standard’ response I have been expecting too.



And yes, because our asso has beaten the odds heavily of downing a way better-rated and a set of managers with on-paper better-trained players (at least 5 of them having multiple 220-340%+ high whites attackers. We earn the right to the final with a significant battering of a way better asso, with 4 of the matchups being significantly worse than opposition on-paper. And yet we still won very handsomely.

Just the best attacker of each of their 5 teams (only 1 team is not that well-trained), and they have a lot more than that.






Next excuse please?

Well done @HeavensAAA! I have collected 96 points (6 wins, 2 draws) against some weaker and some stronger opponents. The right tactics with the right team can do a lot!

Very well done from you there too! I would also be on the same point tally as you do if not for that 82th minute decider in the final match earlier.

We all know how tough and competitive a platinum asso matchups are. Yes, there are occasional ‘easier’ ones when opposition did not attend, but most are really hard-fought wins that involve beating a on-paper better team and overturning some matches when engine clearly favours our opposition.

Trying on 1* player team draw in asso matchup is not about getting any advantage, but just to offset whatever effects in what lots of other teams do.
Manipulation only works in the 3 competitions draws, and has nothing to do with asso matchup (if anything, only disadvantages); A low level manager could well assemble a 100% team to win quads via manipulation (that is still not a given, when he could well be drawn with other manipulators and 8-9* buying managers too), but cannot win a single match in platinum asso matchups vs higher level & experienced managers with way more resources and having built an extremely strong team over many seasons.

If someone falsely claims our association wins dirty without any proof (check back history on the instigator and accusations), then it is obviously well within my rights to quote our asso results to prove that we win by only merits. Simple as that.

This game only takes 10 mins max of preparation and save the settings for max 4 competitive fixtures (2 daily + 2 asso), 20 mins for ads, and another 4x 8 mins if we do attend all of them. At the busiest times of weekends, it takes up no more than an hour if we stay on every minute for all 4 matches, or 30 mins max if we just log on to attend the match and then log off.
(By the way, we all should be very capable of watching tv, listening to music and enjoying our meals all at the same time while with just 1 finger clicking the closing-ads ‘x’)

And obviously you would view that max 1 hour on weekends and 30+ mins on weekdays is a waste when not enjoying a game, or indeed any hobby or interest (a tv soap would easily cost the same amount of time). Probably again back to the same point of your lack of efficiency of use of time and multi-tasking for multi enjoyments.



Our asso is within the top100 by the end of 3 full weeks of results. 4 of 6 are freeloaders (2 paid for special sponsor only); none of us have mutant teams; none of us have some 3x 8-9* attackers with all the rest in 3* either; none of us is a tanker (we improve our teams via proper training and promotions, with trophies); Proper duel wins all the way and all the time. Keep learning on how to improve and prosper, or fall behind.

You honestly forget how much time you have to spend every season on the market to find fast trainers or even 3* 18y players, train their white skills as efficient as possible beside what you already mentioned above.

Hahaha! You are right there. The way to build a competitive squad for a good record definitely takes more than an hour per day. What I mean is managers could spend a lot less time to aim at winning 70%+ of matches vs a lot more time and effort to win 80%+, or even 90%+, of matches. That difference takes a lot more in huge effort in building and maintaining a winning squad. For managers who want to spend less time, 30 mins per day can do already; for managers who want to win everything available, then even 3-4 hours could not be enough when running more than 1 account.

My main level-7 account has 9 core players, and they were all trained from 18yo 90%+ FT with initial 250-280 greens each at most (because of limited greens as low level). 4 of 9 were bought in season 1 and 2 (only limited managers have enough funds to bid more than 1-2 FTs per season) and the rest in seasons 3 & 4, so they do not cost too much time (when compared with the expected next generation of 18yo 40% to be bought in 3-4 seasons later). Matchdays 1-5 of new seasons would take some 8+ hours in seasons 3&4, and not much time is needed after the 5 FTs were bought and trained. Similar with 2nd level-4 account which already bought 9 core FT players as well, when both accounts simply do not have enough resources (greens, Ts & money) to fast-track to powertrain 40% FTs (so do not need to spend time onto searching for 40% FTs yet - if they do pop up during when looking for squad players and are also affordable then great; not even a concern when there is none either).

With daily training on whites improvement, maybe I had made way, way too many mistakes in my previous AAA account, all the drill sequences with averages are all learnt so vividly that it becomes kind of automatic that I know what the next one should be. Typically cost 3-4 mins each time to drain the extras conditions with individual drills, and 2-3 times per day on top of tpb maintenance. When we understand our own style of play, hence the formation and build & combination of players needed, then the drill sequence will also sorted by itself too.

Thank you everyone for keeping this thread going and sharing your thoughts and suggestions on the new FAs!

New season has kicked off and new FA tournaments will be played not before long!

Important update: We heard your feedback - this season Managers that didn’t promote in the League in the previous two seasons will still be able to participate in FA Tournaments with the x1 FA multiplier. The disqualification rule will start applying with the following campaign.

Remember to fight your way up for the next season! Good luck!
