I myself always swap between Ajax, Leeds, and Sydney FC. These 3 teams are all lower than 3.5 stars.

Most people using smaller teams, find it frustrating that even though we have a 2.5 star team, the opposition will insist on using one of the 5 star teams. Honestly, I don't really mind playing these higher teams because when you win it is very satisfying and you know you have deserved the win.

But, I think online, the true satisfaction comes from playing with 2 small teams. This way, players can't pass to any super quick and strong players to run rings around the defence. It forces the players to use smart tactics, playing possession football and creating good opportunities. In the final minutes when it is 0-0, you aren't tempted to pass to Torres to sprint past everyone and bury a winner from 30 yards out, instead, the tension grows and you just have to wait for the killer pass to grab the win. These are the really enjoyable games. This is where the true football is played, not the boring and predictable kick and chase.

So, for those of you saying, 'Well why should we change to a small team???". There's your answer. Your missing out.
