Thanks all. I suppose it came become time consuming, the higher up you progress and the deeper you advance into the cup games.
You obviously cannot play with one core team in a squad of 22, but two teams with the odd player or 2 making up the shortfall, when playing two matches per day for, say 22days.
Add to that two other teams and the count jumps to 66 to 70 games in a season (?????), excluding friendlies and experimental games.

How deep into the opposition players and tactics do you actually delve? Or is it just the central fielded DC/MC/ST players.
