in real life Bigger=richer is not true,and the brazilian league is a lot more competitive than the english league for example,there are about 8 or 10 teams each year that fight for the tittle or that are in a really similar level,but our level is a bit lower than the one played in europe,although some players were nothing here,like Doni and Julio Baptista and became stars there
stoping the off-topic,I agree that the realism argument is bad here,and if in the end the team that uses this estrategy is penalised by the estrategy itself for me theres no problem but one,the training minutes of the other team
