You dont think that having more serviceable backups or a better surrounding cast than your opponent is as effective in a one game situation? Maybe it's not as big an advantage as I'd like to believe in my own mind.

The benefit of depth and better players 4-8 are that you can more easily get your players into better game shape and keep them there.

In playoffs, you're often training GS before the must-win games and are playing your best players 38-42 minutes a game. Doing that in the regular season isn't as viable, so you can't be as top heavy. In a one game matchup, having better top 2-3 players is more important in my opinion.

In BBM/B3 games for example, many teams only play a 7-8 man rotation because those are their best players and minutes don't matter. Looking at the B3 final that happened today, both teams played 7 man rotations and half of the players played 40+ minutes. For league games and weekly minutes, it's not possible to play guys 80+ minutes every week and keep them in good GS, which is where having a more balance team and depth is beneficial.

I'll take starters of:

100k, 100k, 80k, 40k, 30k

Over

70k, 70k, 70k, 70k, 70k

for all major games.

Thanks Bubbles. Although I will point out that perhaps you have disproven this a bit already by winning your match against the 217k behemoth haha

Haha I think one mega star (217k) is a bit different than having two 108k players, but I can see your argument.

I was also at home and played with more effort and am quite worried about the next two games. I appreciate the kind words regardless.

my 2 cents:
1 star
4 great players
3 cheap subs
