Or gamble on injuries and make use of all 3 half time subs?
One advantage of being mid-table (for me) is that you can start using subs in that way.
This is the problem I have with the current experience system though, because it can be unfair on the teams battling at the top or bottom when mid-table teams aren't putting out strong teams against their rivals, though with the way things are my results are strange anyway.
