yes, tactics doesn't matter much - lol
As Brolly said, he 's doing a hard manipulation (keeping 4-5 high q players and the rest 1*) so he 's playing vs 3* teams in League and 5* in the other competitions.

He is buying and farming a lot and watching every game.

Btw, NIK they ( your friend Erik) change asso name?
He has two (ok, not only two ) teams, one in the beginning of this thread is his main , lv about 54 and Quaresma is playing in the new one he started before 16 seasons (for the "perfect" career I guess - lol)
