The biggest issue I now have with the game is discovering the team rep is limited by league rep. It's a huge issue because I've put in plenty of time playing several seasons with a smaller team just to find my game's pointless.
At the start of each season your team's rep resets.
That means there's a frustrating situation where any team from a smaller league you've developed to a Champs League standard with champs league income, wages, funds, etc can sign good players during the season no trouble, but at the end when rep resets/lowers down to a league max your entire team decides it wants to move to a 'bigger team' and demands 50k transfers to Rotherham because the fizzy pop league 1 has a higher rep then your league.
As we all know players are fighting to move to England, for a third of their wages and play to 6000 people rather then play champs league football
