When playing arranged friendlies, is to better to play against a weaker team or to play a stronger one?
A stronger one may give you a better workout ( more skill points), but injuries may apply, while a weaker one should boost morale and incur less injuries?
i play weaker abandoned team/teams and use reserve as it does not matter if i get injury and the score does not matter i`l still get 2 blue 1 green and a red if no booking
Weaker, Always get blues and less chance of getting bookings for a red booster.
So are you playing for the boosters ..primarily? I cannot see the benefit if an injury occurs. If the second stringers are playing, then it has to be a skill points training run.
Would friendlies not be more rewarding if more skill points were obtained by the players having a tougher workout, instead of the miserly green and red booster. I'll leave the blues to Slow Hands and BB King.
for me skill not that great as they get faster with training but the cash helps for league/cups win bonus and packs are bonusQuote:

I saw the players morale jump 10 points after a friendly and also lose points ad well???
So level 6 going on 7, cash from friendlies is 15k for a full house and 20k for 2% possession. Immaterial.
Do I then wait for later on to earn meaningful gate fees and stay away from friendlies?? Or do I go for skill points and experiment against a weaker team? I can get 3 to 4 friendlies a day against two very weak teams, but the players are not getting the gain as from a higher level team, but again, the risk of injury. What to do?
u can go against weaker for boosters as said above.
Play against stronger if u want to prepare ur tactics and formations for the upcoming tough matches. If ur stronger friend plays the same formation as ur upcoming opponent, play a match with ur main team to check out tactics against that formation and decide ur lineup for that match:)
I think more skill points should be obtained from friendlies than for training. One friendly perhaps should equal two batches of training. I say this because in real life, managers and coaches always say that NOTHING can compare to match practice.
To answer the OP - I always find I get more skill points against better opposition but that's outweighed by it taking away more condition and the higher chance of injuries.
I've never really thought of playing friendlies as a means of obtaining booster packs. Prefer watching the promo videos and for me I think power training is much more beneficial to improve players than playing friendlies.
