So AK it's ok if I keep my current squad, or do i need to increase the players? Also in excatly how many days does the sim start? And good Idea to give the lesser teams a better chance and the better teams to have a lesser chance.

I think it's a good system, groups should stay as it is AK, a pity it wouldn't happen in the real life, the world cup would have become more interesting
