I don't think there is a way to make a dominate team without just plain outfinancing people.That wont happen for a new team that isn't daytrading. Just not possible....
Two defensive stats to stop one offensive inside.One offensive stat to stop 4 outside....This is the imbalance. So you train the 1 of the inside offense and the 1 of the outside defense the most...also the one that stops all the other outside stats also helps stop inside attack. It's one defense stat to stop everything
