I'm not even training mine anymore I've gave up on this competition.
group stages most times I've played there has been 2 members and 2 bots in each group.
no matter how good the bot teams are nine times out of 10 they will finish 3rd and 4th. again this is tweaked to get the members through to make it exciting.
I've seen so many teams who are far inferior to their opponents still winning.
I honestly don't think quality means anything in this comp its just visual and the game engine has a big pull for the underdog in each game.
games i should win i lose. games i should struggle in i win.

you basically want to go into the comp with a bang average side and you have more chance of winning
I've looked again at mine after the game and my opponent had the 2nd poorest team from the 32 involved .96% he was. yet still he managed to beat 3 teams over 122% along the way.
he had a MR playing DR who was talking the wingers apart lol.

I like the lay out of the competition but i want to play the competition fair but this game engine is not fair.
it has a positive effect on the poor teams but a negative effect of the stronger teams.
I'm guessing to even the games up
