Not even with the tactical scheme famous in the top 100 of the confederations you can beat a team more than 30% stronger. I took two rivals in the cup, one 55% stronger and the other 60% stronger. Am I going to keep putting my players in (who, by some absurd coincidence) tend to get injured for more than 6 days EVERY GAME, knowing that I'm going to get thrashed and I don't have a chance? I dropped the cup, I dropped the champions. The league is relatively even, some opponents 5, 10% stronger, gives game still.

But that's after about five or six seasons weakening the team (naturally, getting between 5th and 8th place) and running away from the same teams 50, 50% stronger than I faced about 5 or 6 seasons in a row.
