Anyone have the problem of NTs constantly scheduling cupcake friendlies?

Ive noticed my last few games the USA specifically playing friendlies with minnows all the time. They just go done playing Sint Maartin, and always seem to be playing teams like Bermuda or Saint Kitts and the like.

Is this something that can be fixed in the editor? I am not entirely sure if this is hurting the NT in my game (cause maybe coincidentally their ranking falls a ton in my games, Ive seen the USA at 70th before) but it sure aint realistic.

Considering my last two friendlies as Spain manager (currently in 2017/18, btw) were Brazil and Argentina, I'd say I had no such issue.

My last two friendlies were Cameroon (#4) and Chile (#15). Italy and Spain had approached me to play friendlies, but I just wasn't interested, having just wrapped up my World Cup qualificiation.

I think the US constantly schedules weak friendlies on here because they try to schedule within CONCACAF more often than in real life. They also seem unable to schedule non-FIFA date friendlies like they often do in real life.

Ye that's another annoying part of FM. What's up with having to shoehorn friendlies into designated time periods?

Surely though the reason why the US play these friendlies is because of geographical locations. If you are the US, you would not fly all the way to Europe just for a Friendly match. You would play teams in that part of the world - makes sense to me.
