ngl. The better scenario would have been participation. Just play B-team and get through first 2 rounds against some minnow from Asia or US. The prize money is pretty steep.
if teams start to take it very seriously yeah it can have negative impact on rest of season.
FIFA request star players must play as much as possible.
For us it's best not to go sporting wise. Lamine and Pedri forced to play most our minutes.
Plus with an extra 150m, 100m of that goes on Luis Diaz. Siiiiuuuu.
