By the way, this is my defense team composition from last week. I think that, at this point, it’s almost impossible to argue that your defend team doesn’t affect your invade match-ups. I haven’t seen anything over 1,000 gold since early last week when I changed to this team… ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/9/f96a4e8f56692395065642d59e3b0eaa4fed8ee1.png) ---

I am also an endgamer at level 1135 and I run a single troop for defense. I would therefore have a lower team power score compared to the team you listed. There is most certainly a difference noticed by me. The main thing from my experience was that instead of fighting (at the time) Manticore x2 / Deep Borer / Bone Dragon 12 to 15 times in a row, all different player names, that quantity was diminished quite a lot and the variety of teams I was put against increased to the point of not being mind numbingly boring. I still saw the team but only about half as often. There are cons to this though. Pvp points on average dropped and some battles had lower gold for a prize. But to keep me from wasting my gems refreshing the choices and making my battle selection much more interesting it was a price I was willing to pay. ---

I haven’t seen anything over 1,000 gold since early last week when I changed to this team… I am using a 9457 score rating defense team. I’m getting opponent bellow level 100 around every 5 battles. ---

the only idea i could come up with is: 1. the person invaded you - got in your list as a revenge - you took a break from gow for a while, and your revenge list got filled up pushing the person out of the list to make space for new ppl - you came back and lol otherwise something spooky with the matchup ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/d/7d465c5d227c059cb36ccfb786e2ce0b7056f9d8.jpg)
