Dont worry Brutus, It was a joke.
The level is not bad, the usual problem is the game shape. Many weeks with poor game shapes and Japan has no very good bench players. There are not many players with good OD and ID as well. But with your knowledge about the game I am sure you can do a very good two seasons. If you have a great week with game shapes you can put any top 10-30 in trouble I think.
I suppose that you will be the next NT manager, so if you need something or you have any question, do not hesitate to contact me
