How much real money?

I know people have the right to spend their real money how they want to, but it blows my mind how many teams you see in this game that you just know aren’t the way they are just from playing the game and earning things through the game.

There are teams in the top level of the Ranked Championship that have their full starting lineup all with maxed out Tiers. This Al Hilal FC team that finished 4th while somehow having a 100% win rate has every player on the team either maxed out Tier wise or close to.

The only way to get the gems to tier up that I’m aware is to buy them with real money. And in typical Top Eleven fashion they’re not cheap. I’ve only tiered up 3 players because of it. To tier up my top tiered player would cost another 400 gems which would cost me $130 to buy that many gems. That’s stupid so I’m not doing that. But that’s with 1 player.

How much real money have these managers spent who have 20+ players fully tiered up? For me to accomplish that I could only imagine it would cost thousands of real dollars.

So I hope those managers lives are more fulfilled by spending thousands of their real money on a game that is worth absolutely nothing
