some players do seem happier when facing harder competition. I have PT'd my main team a lot, and it can be worth it. On early level and my no $ teams I play guys OOP pretty often, and found some like that position, hence that was the next thing they learn. I made some mistakes on special skills when I started, now I look at what their skill set is after they are up "good" and choose an SA that's a complement to what they're good at, i.e. highest offensive skill finishing = penalty SA
