Improving friendlies

Every offseason I go through the same routine. I try to secure at least 4 friendlies with Premier teams in order to churn up money for my squad. Over the seasons, I've determined a handful of teams that are always willing to accept my invitations, and I've managed to get some of those teams to accept an invite to a cup that I hosted.

What I would love to see is a more efficient way to set up these friendlies. Even with the group of teams that traditionally accept my invites, I still go through a lot of teams that refuse. For future iterations of FM, I'd like to see a couple of things in regard to this:

1. Streamline the friendly request process. Currently I have to click through several windows in order to even send a proposal. Maybe I should see about bookmarking the friendly invite page? If this isn't an option, a specific page dedicated toward just scheduling friendlies would make the process take up a lot less time.

2. And after clicking through those several windows, it's irritating to have a team decline an invite. I would like to see some sort of notification that says how likely or unlikely a team would accept whatever invite you are proposing. That way, you don't burn through the process several times trying to find a team that will accept. If this were added, maybe then we could have a filter option that allows you to filter teams depending on their likelihood of accepting an invite.

3. Kind of piggybacking off of #2, I'd like to be able to filter teams by how much revenue a particular friendly would bring in. And again, I'm not sure if this option is available already. Please disregard this if it already is. (=
