The first day the message of the new draw system appear I clicked on the link to the survey to see what it was like but no completed it to wait until the league starts. Then got that awful draw and tried to complete the survey but the system didn’t let me complete it because it says I’ve already completed it(but certainly I didn’t). And also it’s remarkable that I am from Argentina and every other team in my league/champions league is from Asia so it makes no sense at all.

Sooo, how about you guys? I want to know your experiences, especially teams at higher level. Hope this changes because it’s not fun to play with this kind of draw.
well, my friend you are not alone in this and this is a great cause of frustration for many managers. If you listen to some of these know-it-all in here you should have no problem beating those much greater % teams. According to them, it's your fault. It's because you are not doing things right. Now I know that's hogwash. There is little or nothing you can do to compete against those teams. These guys in here who claim that you can beat those teams are not telling it the way it is. Some have sent me screenshots of all the stronger teams they beat but sadly they are misleading. Most of the stronger teams they beat are in the FA or other special events. I have beaten stronger teams in the FA tournaments and the special events as well. However, when it comes to leagues and other official competitions 98% of the time you will always lose against 20% and stronger teams than ours. If you get these draws you cannot compete period! It matters little what you do, before or during the game in terms of tactics and formation you will almost inevitably lose. The question is by how much? You can mitigate the damage but you cannot avoid it. I have played in total without counting FA 862 games so far, I can count on one hand how many times I have beaten a team that was 20% better, above that I can remember one, that's it. So as You see, I have played 862 games out of those I won 654 out of those 654 I probably won 5 against 15% and higher to 20% stronger teams. Most likely within the 62 draws is where I faired best against 15% and higher stronger teams. It's the law of averages and the averages against those quality teams is not to our advantage, it does not matter what these nay sayers say, that you can beat them, the reality is that you cannot.
