I guess the team must be doing very good when Henry says he is entertained. I hope he will be entertained the same way the whole season.
I did that too, but there is something else, I transferred to another club. Maybe this option wasn't installed yet while you were active. You could ditch your current club and pick some other from the lower levels. I went from level 17 back to level 1 and started all over again. Since this completely new look was installed I can't find that option. Wish I could because the number of tokens and packs remains the same after the transfer, and I have a ton of them.
The auction update is that you will keep all the tokens you offered if you end up losing the auction, which makes perfect sense, it's a freaking auction. Took them long enough.
The new competition was added this year - Super League. Just a fancy Top Eleven word for Europa League. 5th to 8th in the league go there and 3rd in CL groups join later, you know the rules. The winner gets to play in the CL next season regardless of the league position, basically you can perform a Manchester United.
Since that is the only competition I haven't won yet I was tempted to finish between 5th and 8th this season because I thought I had no shot at winning the league. Really underestimated my players.
Also, there are associations. You are part of a group that has 4-6 clubs and compete against other associations. Every participant draws someone from the other association randomly and you play once at each ground. The association that wins the most points goes to the final, where the same thing applies. Losers play for 3rd place. This kind of tournament happens once a week, so four times in a season. There are lots of division levels out there. After the end of the season if you survive in the same division or get promoted, there is a token prize for each one of the participants. I was lucky to be invited by the captain of "Barca" association when they were already placed quite high and we are now in Gold Division 3, second highest divison of all. Just surviving in it will give each one of us 50 tokens which is a fantastic boost. Note that players don't get tired from these matches so a manager doesn't have to worry that associations will hinder the club in league/cup/CL.
The main update is that there are now visual representations of what is happening on the pitch. Would you believe me if I told you that I preferred the old one when there was only commentary? The footballers are just a bunch of circles, the whole gameplay doesn't look fluid like it should in a proper football match and you almost know what will be the end result of the cutscene at the start of it. That's why I tend not to attend matches even when I am available, screw the 8% possession bonus.
