I swear they do it by all players in club, I could be 86 rated but don't want to use players like ibrahimovich, I have Jesus, vardy and zaha to use, and because I play 1 up top I need pace with other 2 on bench. I completely agree regarding top 3 from bench, I've recently put 4 bronze players on bench altho doesn't seem like it's doing much and always get 2 85 plus teams with messi/Ronaldo, even the lower rated teams always have 1 good player which is strange ( not a problem a bronze team with ramos). luckily by weekend I only have to play like half my games to get my goal of at least elite 2 (is elite 1 worth it?).

obviously I'm on about squad battles, in terms of online play it shouldn't matter on team rating, should be on ability/wins otherwise why not play a weak squad just to get worst players.

also the weekend league qualifier 78 rated squad should be starting line up only and anyone on bench should penalise it, I mean we have a 78 rated squad with like 10 players over 80, makes me laugh every time but we all do it; game just needs some balancing.
