Just to be 100% clear, LA-Gerard means the BBM games.
Direct cut and paste from the National Tournament section of the manual - "Both the Tournament and the Scrimmages are important to your team, because they provide your players with extra training minutes and experience each week"
Regarding the BBM games from that section of the manual - "They also gain experience from games, but suffer no long lasting injuries after matches. Playing minutes do not affect their training and game shape...."
So, many managers play strong teams in BBM as no injuries that last past the end of a game, a bit of bonus experience, and doesn't have a negative effect on gameshape through players playing too many minutes.
National Tournaments & scrimmages are part of how minutes are balanced for the roster and players can be injured so the opposition is usually more what minutes suit the team that faces you to keep their gameshape high.
