And that alone would upset lots of managers who do play favourite formations with 2 STs (who would have 1 or even 2 STs subs), a mix of ST/AML(R)s as wing forwards, or simply managers like myself who play a lone ST, but with a good ST sub on the bench plus 3 reserves who have ST roles to help tpb training (not all bought as STs but AMCs completed ST role task and on 49/50 of MC role/SA training for next tasks).

Groups like mine is probably least offended as I would just dismiss no-planning managers’ ignorance;
If I do play 2-top or even 3 forwards with ST/AML(R) variations regularly, and then someone call me crap just because I do have 3 first teamers with ST, and another 2 STs on bench, then I definitely will fight back for my pride in choice of formation and play, if that makes sense.

And as we all know very well why better records do not equal to better managers anyway. Laughing at others’ record is really low.
There were only 2 ways to respond to post. Either you encourage him and tell him no he is wrong and that he is not a crap manager or be agreeable. Is it wrong to be agreeable and voice the opinion that too many STs is mismanagement. Not everyone is blessed with the ability to be diplomatic. While you say it is low to laugh at others record. Is it not low to criticise tankers like you do and act all superior when you beat them in events? Or are they ok as targets from your perspective.

Yes it doesn't mean good records are good managers and bad records doesn't mean bad managers. It actually points towards activity and how much effort you put in. The Greeks had a good gaming strategy which any of us can do but many preferred to be lazy and just whine instead of selling trained players and training a new one from scratch every season.
