Not sure if this works. I started to save skill points about 1/3 way through season on all my players and now have around 500 to apply.
Got drawn in the cup today with someone 3 levels above me and average 3.5 better (66.7 to 63.2). I'd be almost the same as them if I applied the points, so it looks like, if it was a fair draw, the game has done it as if my players had used them.
Thoughts?
