Robbie Campbell :
Can I ask the same question, why are some of the challenges SO one sided, we have a challenge coming up against a guild who have nearly every player a level 50 or above (25 players in their guild) and we have 3 !, They have 11 players where their average player quality is 200+ and 3 players with player quality of 300+, we have only 3 players with 200+........Sort it out please ! There is no way we should be pitted against this guild, it just makes the big boys stronger and the lower guild teams despondent, TRY and sort it out pleas !
It's not all about level. We had a challenge recently where our fans were 3.3 million and they were 4.8. They had 17 lvl 50+, 4 lvl 48+ all active, all played both their games and were ranked 45 in the Guild Rankings. Our guild had 7 lvl 50s and above and then a spread of lvls 40, 30 and a few in the 20s. We won 21-18. Everyone played and we were even able to do Cash Cow.
If you have decent players in the guild, the way to win those challenges is by having a really astute GC planner. Our guy reads team's abilities quite well and came up with a three phase/wave plan that really worked.
So sometimes you just need to be a bit more organised and come up with plans. It's really part of the fun and it's a great feeling in the guild when they come off.
That all said, it does sound like you have drawn a freakishly difficult one. Try to play them in the middle of the night to catch their offline strats!
