Just a share of idea of how to maximise the firestarter event gain.
If your team is expected to be fighting for the Cup trophy and also would have the best possible status for the 3rd round of association finals, then it may be best to use both the on-fire status rewards from the special sponsor around the start of the coming Sunday. The on-fire status would be added to at least 4 starters and up to 8 starters if being lucky, or even more if a few players could reach a new star just before event finishes. Could be a full team with those having paid for special sponsor.
Benefited matches are at least:
1) Asso final x 2
2) Cup final x 1
3) League x 2
4) CL semi 1st leg x 1
5) FC x 4-6
6) Special sponsor ‘prep master’ task can also be completed with minimum resources
Winning is a form of art. Consistently winning is a show-hand of skills and luck.
