idk i tried a friendly, my "strong team" vs my first season team, that was just created and lost to the weak team. Someone said elsewhere that performance in friendlies doesn't show how your team plays in "real" competitions. my "strong team" is undefeated so far between cup CL and L currently, besides the friendly loss to my weak team. I only got 1 skill point from players too, but when i train i can get 2-3 and can only sell tickets for 3 dollars, that isn't much money from tickets. /shrug idk maybe i'm doing something wrong.
