I've stopped bothering with friendlies for now - I find I get more skill points just from the training, once you do it once-twice daily, depending on your team's condition, how far you're willing to push them.

Someone decided to have a friendly against my team not 10 minutes after my league match other day, I wasn't online to stop it. My team stuffed them 6-1 ... but ... I suffered 2 injuries. I deleted that dumb **** contact.
