What a manager must not do !
Not to downgrade his team too much.
There is no reason, specially if you are in mid-upper levels.
This season I enter the season with a 80% quality.
My opponents have the same quality, some little less 70% and some lower.
Like this guy who has 1* players. He won't find opponents in CL who will have such a low quality.
He could go with 4-5 good quality players.
