As in every thing in this game, they plan on screwing on that too. They will fire up most your squad before your starters but before your starters, they will fire up your bench. Why would a squad member who has not played all season be on fire? It is not realistic though they claim the game is. What they want you to do is buy booster packs to buy more fire packs, not to help you improve your starters but to have an inspired bench and squad but also in hope you will buy the next booster pack. I learned along time ago you never get the best you get the worse such as 7 or 8 star player. Always the seven. Spend money on your best academy player, he is not a fast trainer, and usually not a good trainer. I enjoy the game and I must enjoy the poor support system and their beating me out of money because I am still here.
