We had to face the 7* FA at Semi... and that isn't funny.
And no... I don't prefer to lose in final vs 7*FA... but I prefer to lose vs a 5* (equal) FA, that does it, with tactical, loans, managing...

That's wrong...
Based on my thinking, it's impossible, that Malta, Sri Lanka,... are in World Cup (Semi-Finals).
Based on that... it's impossible, that Real Madrid faces Energy Cottbus in CL (Semi-Finals).

But loans only don't solve the problem. Why has the strongest team to be the whore of their FA. I've the strongest team in our FA, and suffered least points, because I haven't the chance to win and gave all my top players away. That isn't funny.
That also can that exploited: build a 22 player-team, with 9*, group up with 3* Teams, get good draws and loan 8 players without a disadvantage...

And if you are a close FA, you can't loan anybody, for better chance.

On a brighter side, if you aim for bonus prizes you will always get one even if smaller. Winning surely gives 5 packs for each type and 50 points, but even if you lose it's no big deal, you will still get some points towards promotion, packs and you are ready for another association tournament. It just take some more time, simply. Soon or later everyone wins, at least from my point of view
I really don't have problems to lose... but not against "money". I wanna lose for good opponent, who knows what he does.
And... that team we faced in Semi-Final wasn't that kind of manager... His "god-team" lost vs. my "noob-team", because I we had nothing to lose, and I tried (maybe you call it stupid) some tactic and formation, I tought it could help.
And yes... it was a great moment, we went against this FA into the final... but final was so boring. :/
