I like the discussion, and like most players, I generally agree with the perspectives being rehashed here (MB, Subs, Home/Away, etc).
However, I must admit that the idea that there is any semblance of fairness or balance/equality built into this game is a bit of a stretch.
Forget about MB, strats or subs - the reality is that most of that doesn't matter as cash trumps all.
No issue with that, but since cash became the differentiating factor for success, there hasn't been any new game updates. Maybe the develops got their recipe right in the end
