Why would someone only care about associate games though? That seems backwards to me. Associations give so little rewards, you just get 5/5/5 red/blue/green if your FA wins the tournament. But you still get 4/4/4, 3/3/3, or even 2/2/2 if you come in last. It's not a big difference. Sure you get some tokens at the end of the season based on where the FA finishes, but if you're not even using your "real team" in league/cup/champions league then what do you need tokens for?
It seems pointless to only play this game for FA. FA is just there for some minor rewards to help your team play in real competitions throughout the season. lol
