Yea ... I have a ML/AML that behaves in a similar manner, too bad I don't have a replacement, so I can't really sell or bench him. Anyway, I just wanted to share another thing that I'm seeing - average (in skill) teams have more players getting high grades when winning a match than the top ones. I always try to keep my condition and morale up and I have the best team by far in my league, yet I rarely get more than 4 players with an 8 rating in a match. Most of other teams seem to get 8+ on more than half of their squad.
