Fairness of Championship? Options

[benighted]

Hi folks
I would like to talk about something weird. The issue is as follows:
Imagine you are making your squad selections before each of Championship game. You spy your rival's scheme in their previous matches to eventually choose the formation & strategy that you think is best for your result. It doesn't to be having any question if your rival does the same. But if they don't submit any selcetion for that match? In Cup matches, they will lose 0-3 against you. However in Championship fixtures, if they don't do that, they will still play with the formation 4-4-2 Mixed 50%.

The problem here is you chose a formation to get the best out of your team against your rival's formation that you guess. But if they don't submit any selection, it means your selection could go wrong against that "4-4-2 Mixed 50%". Eventually, you could draw or even lose. That means those who don't submit their team selections before Champ matches gain benefits whereas those do good things and are well-prepared gain DISADVANTAGEs. So what is the FAIRNESS in this Championship rule?

Anyone can prove me wrong?
