As a rule of thumb, to avoid possible ‘spying’ of formation and tactics by possible competitors in league and cups, it is best not to add any other managers within any draws.

You will surely ask: who should I add then?
The answer is: every other viewable manager within your Cup and CL/SL draws. To be precise, when you click on any other club name of another manager of cup draws, you can always view the ‘Standings’ option. Typically after some 5-6 matches into a new season, the top few in league standings are typically the better and more importantly active managers. Mutually there are no conflicts of interest in any direct competition, so it is highly likely the other manager would accept our invitation and would always support our matches. There should be at least 200+ possible top-3 league managers you could add in 1 season alone.

(My CL final opponent this season tried at least some 10+ times adding me and only action I did was reject after reject - cannot see any positives except letting him view my matches and strategy)
Never thought about the spying of formations before but it makes alot of sense since he will have access to all our previous match reports.

I personally have had a bad experience before. Added a competitor and he adjusted the time of our matchup before deleting me. The new timing he picked was 3 hours after my first match that day giving me less time to recover. Best not to add anyone at the same level or at least not anyone in the same competitions. Better safe than sorry.
