how risky will you be with GDP?
As risky as is necessary. I know that's a bit of a non-answer answer, but GDP usage is a circumstantial thing. If I feel like the team is almost certain to lose against an opponent I'll always gamble on GDP since it's a low risk move that can pay dividends. I'm never playing GDP when we're the heavy favourite and evenly matched games will be determined on a case by case basis..
It was poorly worded question on my part.
I wanted to find out what is your mentality when it comes to maximizing enthusiasm even if you risk taking some possibly unnecessary losses.
When I was NT manager personally had the 'all or nothing' mentality, so under no circumstances did I use approach other than TIE before semifinals, and even during semifinals often took risks (worked beautifully in Americas championships but might have cost us a semifinal of World Champs). Looking for the same in the potential candidates because our players are simply not good enough to go head to head with some national teams under normal circumstances
