Taking over new club

Bored of playing high level against same group of few active players? Ready for fresh start? Take over new club! Best choice is level 1 club.
You will lose your current club and clubs budget, but you will still have tokens, packs, archievements, crests and kits.
You'll need token (min. 30) and packs reserve (due weak or no infrastructure, red packs are very important)

Level 1 club:
-finances: 203K + sponsors contract 600K
-stadium: amateur stadium 1000 seats (not 200 as new players get, so you save 160K for level 1 stadium uprgade) + few already built support objects (for example low level of youth academy)
-don't forget to sign tv rights (token) contract
Finances and stadium are same, no matter which club your take (from same level)
Most important are players and their value, so look for club that has higher total players value. Difference is great between 3M and 5M on level 1.
Don't forget you don't need to increase number of seats because attendance limit at seson 1 is 800 and you'll already have 1000, but somehow you should get 5% bal possession bonus.

Your squad quallity at beginning will be around 14 (3 stars), but every other player will have same Q, that's main advantage - you won't be underpowered. However, you could be token overpowered because new players can have only 5T + 1 from tv rights contract.
If you take over lvl2+ team, you'll get 2* club, but your opponents will already have great advantage with 4-5* avg.Q.
I went through that and made even worse mistake: accidently finished 7th in first season... nightmare.

Transfer and finance strat:
You'll notice that every lvl1 club has few young players with rating around 15+/- 2 (3 stars)
Sell them! They usually have great value (min. 500K sometimes over 1M) You can buy on this level young 5 stars player for same or even less money. Keep only +18Q young player (usually with special ability)
Sign young free agents instead of them, you should be able to find FA fast trainers worth 500+K. Use them as a reserves and get 5* players for first squad. Older 5* players are worth around 200K, you should be able to get few of them for price of one 3* expensive fast trainer. If you have lot of tokens and can sell FA, then buy 5* fast trainers.
They should last 3 seasons without power training, gk, dc and st even more.
At the end of season you should sell 3* and 4* players and get same quallity FA right after new season starts to earn extra cash or stronger 5* players to improve Q.
Don't spend all money in 1st season, you can win league and cup even with Q18-19 4* players which you can buy under 150K and you don't have CL competition in 1st season so no bonuses for that.
Save money for 2nd and then start great shopping.

Competition:
Use best player for cup matches, league wont be problem. Over 90% of opponents will still have avg.3 rating by the end of season, sometimes no-one (besides you). There's no CL competition on lvl1. Watch matches and avoid hard tackling as much as possible to get red packs, fair play is very important.

Construction:
Again, don't increase nuber of seats or build new stadium until season 2! Attendance is limited at 800 for level 1. Most important upgrade is ambulance/medical (red packs), so construct all of these. Grass and training/gym (green packs) are important. Scoreboard and lights should be your last constructions before seat/stadium upgrade.

After 4 seasons your trophy archieve could look like this or even better.

Hope haven't forgot something

I agree with almost all.. except with selling off the good players immediately. Play them enough to tell which is the "gem". The highest value one is a fast trainer, and sometimes you get a couple really good ones. Yes, you can get instant $ by selling, but you could also keep them to build your Team around. (If I had done that season one, I would have sold the best player ever for my team!)

Free Agents are the best way to make $ at low levels. Buy a bunch in ssn 1 use for bench and sell ssn 2 day 1... :D

@Cat Harrisson
Unless you powertrain them, there's no reason to keep 750K worth 3* player, because you can sign same quallity and same age FA. Use sell income to get 5* young players. My friend have recently bought cb 25y.o. Q22 (5*) def. skills 26 (6*) for 400K
Fast trainer needs whole season to reach that

Second season stats:

I have taken over 1st level and 5th level clubs. I have written guide from my experience. It was hell fun :D

I think that this is a nice tutorial,but i think that the 3* player who worth 750k should be kept in the team because he is a fast trainer.Nobody is fool to buy your 750 k 3*.If you were smart you would sell him when he is 4*stars almost 5* and then sell him.From my vaste experience nobody would buy your 3* player worth a lot of money in special at LVL 1.

Are you sure about that? :D I sold few of these. There's plenty of free agents with same rating and same age. There's also young 5* players with same value, old 5* (27-30 years) cost about 200K

I play a couple 35T Teams, and though I am no way saying you're wrong, there are other ways to play. I *like* having long term players and no one can say I'm wrong either. Just preference.

He's captain, will be with the team a couple more seasons yet. That team has done ok, though the results aren't typical due to experienced Forumers comprising the first few seasons.

Strat goes like this:
Sell 3* fast trainer for 750K, buy same free agent instead of him. Use extra cash and buy young 5* (20-25Q) player or few older.
At the end of season sell 4* (15-19.9Q) rating FA that used to have 3* (U15Q). Next season buy free agents 3* (15-20Q) rating.
Spend extra cash on new 5* players (25-29.9Q)

t11_fan i think you sold the players long time ago.I had a lower lvl(lvl 1) when i tried to sell almost the same player 3*(650-750k) and nobody bought them.So this rule is available couple season ago(when the noobie players didnt knew exactly about TOP Eleven).So whoever bought your player,was certainly a noobie:cool:.

I m agreeing CAT HARRISON because at lower level,if you re a 35 TOKEN player,you need to maintain the old Formation including(18,19,20 years players with a fast training,and of course if you re lucky have a 18,19 year player with ability it would be great:D.Because you can keep him easy 3-4 season.

This team I had taken over is now lvl5 (4 months passed). My server is very active, difference is maybe there.
@Cat Harrison
I have few long term players in my squad, cant post picture (weak connection problems...)
All of them had 5* when i bought them and they now have 5*. When their fast growth stops and rating falls, i'll sell them.
These days i've seen managers buying 31years old players. I wouldn't buy one, but someone would. There's million of active players.
I couldn't sell only old 3* players on lvl1.

When I had decided to take over new club, I couldn't find any guide. However, I found few threads about 2nd club and everyone were against this idea. I though that challenge is even bigger, so I couldn't resist... :D
You have seen results in 1st post.

Nice team...Scouts means 50 TOKEN players or usually player?Because i see just 1 ability player,instead of 7...
And you re a token buyer or 35 Token player?

Fast trainers, they had rating 64 (5*) at the start of last season, at the end 66-68 (6*)
This is new season so they lost stars. Only new players have 3 years contract in my team.

My gk at the end of previous season.

I made this thread 2 months ago, I'd like to know if anyone tried to replace his club with new one? If yes, please post some stats, screenshots etc, because thread is worthless without feedback. :)

I am playing level 1 team now. In about one hour I've got the Cup-final. Well, on level 1 every new manager get 30 Tokens and 3 million so the transfer market is crazy. Players bid 3-4 times even before the knock-out round begins. Hey all new managers - there is really no need to bid more then 1 token each round! You have a notice mentioning if you are qualified or not for the next round, you do not need to be the leader.

Though, it is possible to buy free agents for as low as 1-2 tokens. Especially early in the morning Stockholm-time. Not all players show on everybodys transfer market, if you are lucky you're the only one. However, be aware that free agents tend to be average, because they are the unsigned 2* free token players from inactive managers on level 2. And there are a lot of them. Level 1 is crazy, but after level one most new managers have used all of their tokens and loose interest.

Apparently they changed starting resources, now new teams have a lot of tokens. I remember 5 seasons when I started with Celtic, I got 20 tokens and ~2M budget. I was quite suprised.

Me me me I want to play... I am going to kick all your butts!!!

also want to add that someone from lv 4 and above, can use negotiations list

and another interesting is that the treble counts as an achievement (and not only titles), so it transfers too as the other achvm.
Very glad about it :o

Hello,

Do you confirm that if I take over a new club I will keep everything except cash and players (I mean packs, titles, achievements and of course, tokens) ?
Thanks

titles no, only the treble (if you have won it).
The others yes, confirmed.
and the money (I did it yesterday), it's 200K + 600K from the contract.
That's a disadvantage vs the new players because they start with 5M' + 50T.
One good trick you can do, is to find a team (every time you refresh the page, you have new option bot teams to take over),
with a 4* young expensive ST, with an attractive sa like F-K or 1-1. You can sell him asap and get about 1 M' for buying 3-4-5 5* veteran players with that money.
Check mine ;)
Attachment 60764

thanks for the tip!

And adding something new here,
the progress in training (levels), also transfers to our new lv1 team :)

...but you have to go to play_old to do the transfer - if Nordeus ever decide to get rid of it then we're stuffed for making transfers to lower level teams...

I have the impression (without knowing anything from "inside") that they 'll not remove the old version till the "take over" and "history" will add to the new one with some way.

if i change team. will i lose my tokens?

If you read the first post in this thread, and the third line of that post, you'll find the answer to your question - sheesh!!

you were right, I was wrong
sooner than we could imagine :p

THREAD IS CLOSED :o

was negotiation feature immediately available if we took over a new club?
could we buy players through negotiation at level 1 if we chose to restart the game?

yes, correct.
The game could recognize it
(as it can recognize a lv1-3 team which was in an asso before the limit but know can join)

thanks
