not fair:
1. some teams play wcc qually, others don't
2. some teams play 3 home wcc group matches, others 4
3. some teams could play all knockout matches home, others none
4. some teams play more home matches in the national cup, then others, even if they make it to the same round
5. the teams that play in wcc or the last rounds of the national cup (the very strong teams) will increase the gap to the other teams
1. Yes, up to three. But this isn't much money. For a team that makes 100K/week from these facilities now (7500 rating), this amounts to:
75K (on average) for a team that plays all three
However, only 1/7 of the teams involved in the first round play in the third round. Thus on average, a team* in WCC quali gets (4/7(25) + 2/7(50) + 1/7(100) = 42.857 G
2. On average, they play 3.5 home games. So there's a little luck in it. The difference is still fairly small, equivalent to a custom cup match.
3. yes but they are all randomly generated based on binary (50%) probabilities = fair (each team has the same probability for each match)
4. see no. 3
5.Yes the biggest and most successful clubs will benefit more than others but even the smallest clubs will benefit more than they are now, the difference is relatively small, less than half the difference between premium and nonpremium income potential.
*with club rating of 7500 and good facilities
besides, i don't see why those 3 facilities should be influenced, they bring decent money as they are currently set up.
i think the sponsors don't bring enough money and they should be calculated according to the team's performance. you get a bonus from the sponsors in the week that you play a cup or a wcc match, a bonus that should be higher for the last rounds of the cup or knockout stages of wcc. after all, you might say that you provide more exposure for the sponsors if the team plays more matches or more important matches.
To make it more realistic. Furthermore, the teams with the best facilities will also have the best youth academies, and will therefore be dumping much of their cash in the bottomless pit known as youth camps. I also agree that sponsorship income should also be increased. In addition to achieving a high club rating, a team should also be rewarded for sustaining it over time.
