Same as every other season, what I know is Nordeus will ruin all of my plans by placing me in a league where I can't compete!

Absolutely correct! It's amazing, isn't it? So get this last season I was overly surprised to be able to finish in second place, it was a long time coming. Yet, arriving in the first four always places us in a league where we cannot compete that following season. Second place the joke is on me. This season this is where they put me, mind you right now my team has a max quality of 112%, the very first match is never ever against a team with which I might win, the team I will play against has a quality of 153%. So if I complain to support about this they, no doubt you know give you a song and dance of how we can actually win against any team they place you to compete against. That is an outright lie. I have seen the final of the Super League last season between two teams one at 200+ the other was 140 or so, how in the world is that even fair? This is my league this year then you tell me where I can expect to finish. OK so the first game is already lost before I even start it. the second team is 119% maybe I have a shot there, unlikely. third day against 121% potentially I could be 0-3 after three days. Fourth day finally a team where I may have a shot to win at 110% Fifth day 119%. Sixth day 119% Seventh-day 123%. Eight day 132%. Ninth day 119% Tenth day 108% Eleventh day 119% Twelvth day 119% Thirteenth day 123% so what we have here is the very real potential to finish last or in the last four, Right now my team is the third worse quality-wise. Basically, I could get the team up a few stars but so will the others so basically I could easily just skip playing all these matches except for two or three matches. it's the usual crap. First of all, we should NOT lose any quality, this is just a scam they use to make money. There is a point in reality where you arrive in the top league and you either stay there or relegate but they do not continue to advance from league to league in infinity, At some point, they need to stop this stupid system and make it as it is in reality. They always claim that they try to simulate real football, but that's a lie, they do not at all. So basically we play with teams in an eternal play never reaching the top league and playing in it with the team we have, leave it up to the managers to either better their team or to remain as they were and place us in a league that works as the association tournament works as it is in reality. At some point you are no longer promoted you can either stay or relegate. In either case, there should be no loss of quality period.

It's tragic, really. I snuck into 8th (and worked my tail off to get there) and wanted to so I could help out my Association. I dropped the 20% to 100.6% as my max value and I am by far and away the worst club in my league this year. Only two teams under 110% (108% is the closest to me) with five teams over 130%, nine over 120%, and all but two teams over 112%.

How do I compete with that? Season's lost before I start. What a waste of time.

I'm 0-3 after 3 games and in last place, so far I have played against one team 155% one at 120% and one 122% the result three defeats 8-0, 3-0 and 3-1 I'm the worse team quality wise at 112% when I am maxed at this pace I will not even win one game. I guess that will ensure that I keep my quality at the end of the season and hopefully will do better next season if they place me in an easier league, That will suck because I will not be able to get the Association rewards. This is the Nordeus punishment for not spending a lot of money to build up the team. In addition, did you see what crappy games they offer to get free tokens and how much time one must waste to get the crumbs they offer? This is shameful, I have often thought to abandon this unfair game but now that I have invested so much time and some money into it I feel like I should go on. We will see what they have in store for us with the new 2024 Tope Eleven, I bet you it's almost all going to be graphic and not technical. They need to change completely the league and even other competitions basis. The leagues should be the same way real leagues work in real football. You win and stay in that league or promote to another one but no one should lose the 20% quality. The last four relegate to the lower level. No one should lose quality. Winners should have a substantial reward pool, those between 4th and tenth place stay in the same level and fight for the next season in the same level. This would perfectly equalize everyone both promoters and those who relegate and those who stay would automatically be paired up more fairly. They will never change it to this way because this would make it fair for all and that is not their goal. making money is their goal not fairness and not our entertainment.

It's pretty atrocious. I decided to sell nearly everyone, I kept only my three youngers players who were above 100% and cut my roster to the bare minimum. See where I get placed next year. I have one win now though, right after doing all of that and fielding the worst team I could have (though still in a proper formation and positions). The other player had way higher quality, but was playing a tanking formation with everyone out of position and to one side of the pitch. So I guess I didn't go winless?

Lost first game with 2-0, second game 2-0 for us and the player who scored both goals gets injured and we end up at penalties where we win easily.
