No, because I only play those leagues where you put together your own
team based on a set of team creation rules. In those leagues, you can
name your players and teams to whatever you want - it doesn't even have
to be an existing football team. Thus, a team named "Barcelona" gets
nil extra points than any other team, and it is all up to the manager
to allocate player coaching to the best results.

I can understand betting/fantasy games and off-line football managers
replaying a real league scenario, but while playing vs other people, I
don't see why some should start with a better roster than others, if
that is really the case/problem. Maybe in a handicap system, where more
experienced PBeM players get the lesser teams and newbies get the power
houses.
