Every single season without fail

[MARCO CAIA]

Every single new season it's the same BS. Every time first two to three games playing against the best top teams in the league, 15 plus % higher than mine and every single season I start by losing the first 2 to 3 games. I'm in the bottom standing and why? Why do I always get stuck playing the best teams and why is there always such great difference in team quality? This does nothing but demoralize. I can't start every single season in the dumps. I'm really getting pissed off now. This crap has to stop. I say it all the time them it seems like this game somehow pushes me beyond the ninth spot and I promote. I really have to tank the team there is no other way to retain quality and find easier teams to win against. This is BS, you can't start a season, every season and already know who's going to win it. This is ridiculous..Today first match lost 4-0 and this is every single season, enough now.

This happens to me now as well. Even when I reduce my team at the end of the season below 100% by selling a load of players I still end up in a league with monster teams. I don't tank so at my level I am stuck with them unless they tank but it seems the ones in my league actually try to win everything including the league.

It's so the top 3 or 4 teams can play against each other games 11,12,13 and 24,25,26.
Not all the time but I've noticed the set up leans to that a lot more than it did years ago when the league draw was totally random

[dave1311]

That's interesting. I will look at that.

So you get defeated by a +15% and think the game is unfair to you.
Do you you know it's +/- 30% .
You can defeat a + 30% and a -30% can defeat you.
You only see a favorite when the difference is 30+%

As far as getting defeated by a +15 % is
Do you even change your strats when leading/behind a goal, I guess not

I just love hearing from know-it-alls like you! Really? Do you know what I do and how I play? At 15% at minimum, there is no game at all usually. Anyway at 15% or more higher than your/my team. Please tell me honestly. how many times do you win against a team 15% higher and higher even up to 30% You say the advantages only start at 30% plus? Do you work for Nordeus? Because most managers here will agree with me, it's virtually impossible to win against a team that is 15% or higher that trains regularly and keeps up with morale and energy levels. Of course, I beat teams much higher than mine even 20% if they were tanking the team and had players with reduced morale and rest and not trained, sure. But playing against a team that is that much higher that trains and has the team at minimum at superb prep is virtually improbable if not impossible. I do not mean to be disrespectful but if you are able to win often against teams 15% higher than yours by all means teach me how to do it because I have tried everything out and inside the game as I play it live. I follow all Top Eleven training tips, counter formations, and tactics, so please tell me what's your secret? Or are you just putting forward a talking point just to be contrary? Let me know how many matches you win against teams 15% stronger and higher and let me in to the secret strategies you use. Help us out since you seem to know the answer

So, Dr Strange - why are there teams in my league (and cup) that are 200% plus whilst I am 150% ? I can't win - its impossible! Unless you'd like to share your knowledge? Marco has a point and lots of people feel the same way - trolling doesn't really help

[senicro]

Every season i have 120-200% draw, i raised my overall from 125 to 160 bc of this, it was very expensive, this tempo only few can follow, rest will quit. i still have same guy with 190% in all 3 competitions that i can't win cuz of him. Don't you have enough players so we can avoid 180+ players at least in some competitions. If i have him winning my league every season why is he is my ch.l. and cup too!? Why do i have to play at 150+ to stay in top 8? Your game is broken.

I apologize if i came off on the wrong foot.
I didn't mean it like that "oh you should be able to defeat that"
and i realize that your 15% and my 15% would have a great difference in white..... So i am sorry about that.
Also I never said the advantages only come after 30+% I only said that it shows as a favorite when 30+% .
If I working at nordeus I would have been creating those 3151 association beasts.
I am no genius about TE, also runs to CF when have to face a higher rated opponent.... Sometimes it works sometime it doesn't.
I did beat a 16+% in league and a 22+% in FA ( but after your 15 and my 15 it felt irrelevant about those) having said that .....
i get it about your frustation....these P2W throwing money at everything and ruining the game for the F2P. There is nothing we can do about that.... And nordeus obviously wouldn't give a damn about it.

Not even with the tactical scheme famous in the top 100 of the confederations you can beat a team more than 30% stronger. I took two rivals in the cup, one 55% stronger and the other 60% stronger. Am I going to keep putting my players in (who, by some absurd coincidence) tend to get injured for more than 6 days EVERY GAME, knowing that I'm going to get thrashed and I don't have a chance? I dropped the cup, I dropped the champions. The league is relatively even, some opponents 5, 10% stronger, gives game still.

But that's after about five or six seasons weakening the team (naturally, getting between 5th and 8th place) and running away from the same teams 50, 50% stronger than I faced about 5 or 6 seasons in a row.
