I use to play this soccer game from the makers of runescape (I know, i am a disgrace to the outwitters community) where you could put perks on your players. Like, let's say, I put a perk on my striker let's it run faster. That's what perks are if people didn't know. I even came up with a few myself

Basic:
Spectacles: increases your heavies vision by 1.

Advanced:
This dimwit jockey just learned the art of combat: changes your heavys attack based on it's team.
Scallywag - extremely small life steal? Couldnt think of anything for a shark...that bites....
Feedback - since it does a spinning animation, maybe have it damage units to the left and right of the targeted unit?
Adorables - harder than the rest. Perhaps a piercing shot? But only through one unit.

I know these are just for heavies, but that's all I could think of. Oh, and probably everyone could have a maximum of 2 perks to take into battle?
I know these sound hard and complicated and I know programmers would have to work around the clock to meet my expectations

While perks seem like a good idea, there is always the problem of balance.
But more importantly, I think that complicating teams does not benefit the game as a whole. OML purposefully decided to only differentiate the teams by their looks, their map themes and their Special Units (which do not appear in every game). So, the difference in team choice is very subtle and I find that a bold move, but a very beneficial and clever one. It keeps the learning curve for new teams low, the effort for balancing everything low and still allows for customization and valuable IAPs.
