Manipulating association draws and games?

[Der_Ryan_M]

Thanks for your input. If this is not the case on an asso level, then why did our association have one less star when I had my reserves in the starting eleven but immediately gained a star once I put in my strongest team? All members in our asso are not active and I'm not the captain so I can't demand some trial and errors. But if someone can, they should ask of all their asso members to put in their worst players in the starting eleven and as subs on Thursday to lower the quality and see what happens when the draws are set on Friday.

For the record, this is in platinum as well.

Yeah but this doesn't work. Our opponents did this like I said this week. When draw was made they were displayed as a 4 star association to us, all but 1 had their bench in the starting lineup. Still they have drawn us as a 7 star association for opponent and we didn't do this kind of stuff, and when it comes to best possible lineup it is quite balanced.
The only thing they achieved is screwing up the single matches, now our strongest plays their 2nd weakest and so on. So essentially it now is up to 2 or 3 narrow matchups and a surprise, instead of all 6 games being thrilling... Imo not worth to do.
