@ DiZZ Are you an ozzie?
With the alt teams if I have time I examine the opp. teams, but when not, just glance at the module & overall quality and take a guess how I want to play against. My little teams usually get knocked out of Cup pretty fast, but I have won CL with one of them.
I also do not have a lot of player turnover, I always try to buy guys that will last awhile in the team.
I am lucky to have more than one computer so games on at the same time bother me not.
