To be honest I have been enjoying the album more than the main game (maybe because I am staying level.), but the international matches actually give me a sense of being an actuall manager on the team building aspect, I have stated many times that is my favorite part of managing a team and that is completely lost on the main game. I actually have 23 players that I can use, switching formations easily and experimenting all sorts of tactics, beat the first team with reserves, beat the second with a half starter and half reserve and save the best ones for the hardest one.
On the other hand the main team most of us only use 14 players, our Top 11 and 3 reliable subs. I have been using the same formation for many seasons now and I do not feel any need to make changes.
Maybe if there will be a major change to association to prevent the abuses we should find a way to incorporate our international teams there like khris has suggested.

Just a thought.
