Best you get training your squad then! TE has always been like this and that’s why it’s useful to read the game rules in depth so you do not get caught out. I appreciate that it is frustrating when you were not expecting this however all you can do now is give it your best shot or tank the season ensuring you finish as near as bottom that you can.
But, my views on tanking are well known so please do not ask me how to do it
Good luck and I hope you have a good season.
