When your opponent has a significant advantage in squad GP and the only fleet zone is protected by a squad zone, the fact that you have a strong fleet does not compensate for your relative weakness in squads.
Your opponent has the option of setting a strong front line and still attacking with good squads.
And this is why you save more of your strong characters for offense, when you believe your defensive fleet will hold the zone.
Depending on the difference in squad power, that can be anything from a big strategic gamble to a hopeless kamikaze attack.
If you defend with only B- and C-teams against an opponent with more squad GP, rhe odds are good that they will break all of your ground zones, leaving you needing to break both of your opponent's frontal ground zones plus either their fleet or rear ground zone just to have a chance of winning on points. Not good odds when they have more & stronger squads than you do.
Key words:"...when you believe, your defensive fleet will hold the zone."
Who cares if the opponent clears all your ground troops in first attempt?
1) It doesn't matter whether your fleet zone holds or not if you don't have the resources to clear both of your opponent's front zones, each of which have 2 or more squads, an area where your opponent has a clear advantage.
2) If your opponent can comfortably hold the squad zone in front of their fleet zone then they can set a trash fleet on defense and use their arena fleet to attack, potentially giving them a good chance to break your fleet zone too.
