obviously you could play against yourselves the whole pre season, but it's very unlikely that your first team is going to play opposition that are of the standard/style of your own reserves every single week. Playing different teams in pre season gives you the chance to note and correct any flaws in personnel and tactics due to the changing styles and formations of the opposition.
