bigger clubs have more advantage…i don’t think so rly. Like now we don’t have rewards and u see any difference? it’s all about the manager, buy cheap players or from free transfer and hope the grow to become a star and sell expensive. Cutting the costs of your finance. There isn’t much more to do. So smaller teams have a small chance to get big, once again, it all depends on the manager buying players and selling (or keeping the stars :P).
Just check real life, there aren’t many small team who have grown big in a small amount of time. It takes time to develp players. The only advantage bigger clubs have are a little bit more income and better players to sell. But the bigger teams also have to take yought to keep growing, why can’t a small team do that? We all have the same free transfer list, ok some have better country ranking ;) but they can’t keep all the players cause there is a limit.
I’ve sold this season only like 1 players (or maybe end prev season) and bought alot of yought for alot of money, it’s a chance i’m willing to take to make maybe 1 or 2 stars from the 6 players i bought for a total of 75mill! If they all don’t grow i’m in big shit to :)
Maybe a reward compared to there matches won/goals scored/goals against, something like this (taken genoa);
30 wins x $25.000 = $750.000
+
110 goals for x $1.000 = $110.000
= $860.000
-
31 goals against x $5.000 = $155.000
= total: $705.000 reward
Oh, and I’ve also used my friendly squad in the past in situations like the one Vaughn described in order to give my youths some experience. I didn’t care whether or not the opponent was fighting for the title or a international cup spot. I haven’t done that in a while though. Shame on me! :(
@Philipp: “It’s just “sportsmanship” that should lead everybodys actions, not just what’s written and what’s been monitored.” – very well said ;)
@amacb: I’m glad to know you feel this way
@Meninao: I think everybody understands your reasons but most users didn’t like it. I don’t think this is good for the game but as I said before I don’t feel like punishing anybody because it would be unfair not punishing other managers with the same behavior, which would require a precious amount of time to investigate
When people have friends playing the game it is inevitable they try to help each other somehow. I’ve had friends who lost games on purpose (when there was nothing else they wanted to fight for in the competition) to help me without me asking them to do so. Is this bad for fair play and competition? Yes, of course, and I discourage this behavior, even when this is done with good faith.
Hope you guys understand our situation and have the same spirit as Amac, who is now even more motivated to win the league next season ;)
Cheers!
Punishing is a big word. Think it’s better to make big dissapointment at your board which results in say like drop 50% in happyness or something like that which in the end can result in you getting fired (talked about this in an other post).
On the other hand, if i look at my own spot, i use friendly lineup every time i’m guarenteed of uefa/cl/league when i can’t be catched anymore. Should that be counted to? Say like last match..i couldn’t get #1 and i couldn’t get #3 so i used my friendly team against a rubbisch team on the bottom hoping my yought would grow abit.
I particulary prefer to play S.A. because the field is more compatible to my team. But would be great if I could win the League, so I played hard until the 36th game. On the 37th game I had no more chances to win the League, so as you guys can see, I used almost the whole reserve team (using my youths too), but unfortunately (or not) the match was in my home and against the last team in brazil (Palmeiras), so I won by 1×0.
In the final game I would use the same reserve team to help Dot ( as I helped some other teams before, like I did against CRB (my cousin’s team) before, if you guys can remember), but I would never say it to Dot. But when he offered me the money I decided to use an even worst team, to make sure that nothing wrong could happen.
What I want to make clear for everyone is that I would let he win anyway because he is my friend and I didn’t want to play L.A.
If you think that it need to be punished, I will accept. I didn’t receive the money yet, but I can be punished. But if you decide that, please guarantee to me and everyone that any other suspect result will be punished even if the manager says that he didnt receive the money. Because if I were not honest and say it in the forum, you guys would never now. And I’m pretty sure that it have happened before.
Regards
Guys as i mentioned in my first post fielding a reserve team for me is ok if you have no reason to win. But passing a chance to play in better competition for money i can not agree.
Anyway i have no hard feelings and winning now in Brazil just got better
IMO there is not much against using a reserve team. I use reserve team in national cup and a 2nd best team in league during the CL (but no youths!). But i always try to avoid to give the fight for the best spots a spin. So I line-up an equally strong formation against the top ~7-8 teams, so no one is really hurt.
.
If you wanna start rather in UEFA/CS than in CL/Lib, you should start losing points in (earlier) matches which are not so decisive for the final table of the league!
.
It’s just “sportsmanship” that should lead everybodys actions, not just what’s written and what’s been monitored.
I was sure that Vitoria would be lining up the reserve team and Gama would be benefited from that.
.
So why meninao with Gremio couldn’t? His situation was also for that. Maybe I could have just asked Meninao to use his reserves, but instead I asked him and decided to give some compensation for his kindness and previous transactions…
.
As Gabriel said, this kind of deals can’t be monitored and YES they happen in game. But Meninao was honest and told to everyone what happened.
@amacb: winning Copa do Brasil didn’t gives the team a spot in any competition. In real life it gives you a spot in Libertadores and I think in Europe winning the national cup gives you a spot in UEFA, but we didn’t want to implement that in the game to make things simpler instead of adding lots of specific rules.
@Sly: they probably made some over priced deals in the past.
Let’s put things straight, I think that using your reserves in a match is pretty common in this game in situations where you want to rest your best players for a more important match or to help a friend or whatever, but using money to do that is something I’ve never heard before in the game (I’m not saying it never happened).
I agree with those saying it’s not a good thing to do but there is no way to prevent / detect it (at least not a simple way). As soon as I read Amac’s first post I suspected that some kind of arrangement between the managers could have happened, as Meninao is a co-worker of mine and I am aware that he and Dot know each other. But what if I didn’t knew any of the involved managers and they denied it as Sly suggested? How could we prove they did something like that? A manager could simply say he was resting his players for the international match and didn’t want to qualify to Libertadores, but Sudamericana. Should we have punished them in this case as well? Should we punish all managers who use their reserves in an official match?
To be honest, I don’t know what (if something) should be done.
Alright, wrote a lot, now you guys can proceed with your comments ;)
Your loss!! i could have offered you more lol
Seriously is this a joke? By the way didnt you win Copa do Brazil which puts you in SA in turn 52 and you waited last game to tank..interesting
@Philipp: But in the doubt… XD
@Dot: “I’m sure that I could win the game (…).”
If you were sure, you wouldnt have spend 7,5M
I might be a rookie in this game compared to others who have played for 25 season, but explain me how you can owe a team money in this game?
I agree with Sly:
“Next time, don’t tell anyone you got offered money and actually accpeted it :-). That’s how they do it in real life. Just deny it :)”
XD
Think this like a Gentlemen’s deal :D
As Meninao has said, Gremio would rather win S.A than L.A and he was hurrying to win against Corinthians. So why not spare his main team like Vitoria did?
I’m sure that I could win the game because it was in my home and my team was still fresh. But as a I’ve said: a deal would fit better and I was owing Gremio some money… now is all fine :D
hahaha, even so :). It meens you took bribe money :)
.
In real life football, that’s not allowed, so why should it be allowed here?One tip for the future. Next time, don’t tell anyone you got offered money and actually accpeted it :-). That’s how they do it in real life. Just deny it :)
Meninao (Hilton), i guess i understand your point correctly, but i’m afraid i’m absolutely not with you!
It’s just not within the un/written rules.
Though you talk about it very frankly: Santo Andre bought your match, that’s illegal and should be punished IMO.
Rubysoccer money.. :)
offered money? :)
Hi.. I’m the gremio’s manager. I understand that you might be pissed with me, but I can see that Vitoria Manager did the same against you, right?
Well.. I had some reasons to use my reserve team.
The Santo Andre manager is a great friend of mine and offered me $7,5M to use the reserve team (he will buy weak player from gremio when I have one), my team is not good enought to play LA thats why Sudamericana would fit much better, and it would be good to my tired players to rest a little before the match on Sudamericana (btw, I won the match but wasn’t enought).
I hope you understand.

The Current problem with giving cash for achievements, such as wining cups or being # 1 after the season is that very few clubs will just get richer, and most of the clubs will just fall under more misery, for example here are the latest winners in the last 5 seasons for every country:
England:
Arsenal X 1
Sunderland X 1
Blackpool X 1
Scunthorpe United X 2
Fance:
Brest X 3
Monaco X 1
Paris-SG X 1
Germany:
Hertha BSC Berlin X 5
Italy:
Juventus X 1
Genoa X 1
Napoli X 3
Netherlands:
Groningen X 1
NAC X 2
Roosendaal X 2
Portugal:
Benfica X 4
Belenenses X 1
Spain:
Recreativo Huelva X 2
Getafe X 2
Atletico Madrid X 1
Argentina:
Boca Juniors X 4
Almte. Brown X 1
Brazil:
Santo André X 1
América-RN X 2
Palmeiras X 1
Paraná X 1
Paraguay: (4 seasons)
Olimpia X 1
Fernando de la Mora X 1
Libertad X 2
Uruguay: (4 seasons)
Danubio X 2
Cerro Largo X 2
If you total all the teams that has a chance to win the league in each country there are a total of 200 teams (in 1st divisions) and only 11 teams can be champions that is 11/200X100= 5.5% that means that only 5.5% of all the teams can substantially Make MORE money than the other 94.5 % and in the long run lets say 5 seasons that percentage of teams making money will be even less for example: with the exception of Paraguay and Uruguay (with 4 seasons) the other countries have 172 teams: 172 teams X 5 seasons = 860, Paraguay and Uruguay have 28 teams with 4 seasons each 28X4=112 that is 860+112=972, we actually only had 30 different league winners 30/972X100=3.08% this means that in 5 seasons only over 3% of teams have had make money from winning titles, I understand that it is important to be recognized when you win something, and money can be the biggest incentive, but I think that something else has to be done first so that this game can be a bit more balanced; and not let if fall in a monotony, with the same champions every season.
Monaco
Now the Tour de France has been through us we have players for sale at fast prices, so don’t fall off the peleton.
Go Cadel, Australia loves you!

Maybe he is happy with the Sudamericana spot. And it wasn’t worth anyway as he lost the international cup semi-finals.
says the one who sells someone for, what was it, 140mill? Transfer prices will be as high as they want, since humans decide either to sell expensive or buy expensive.
I think Santo Andre deserved to win the title and i wouldnt want to take anything from Dot who seems like a classy guy .
However i just dont understand why Gremio would field a reserve team against them the last game of the season having not guaranteid a LA spot.
I would respect Gremio’s decision if they already secured a LA spot and wanted to rest their players for the upcoming international cup game but right now i dont know what to think.
the game ecomony is already ruined with the b.s prices of players
yah… one of them is…
Edit: didn’t know what i was thinking at that time:(
( probably my lab seminar was on top of me)
