We never saw him physically take on any team like this in a physical confrontation. We saw Batman through a guy armed with radion pull off fatally wounding Darkseid. This team pounds on Darkseid as we can only speculate about his formidability in fc.
Actually without plot devices like the Radion Bullet and the Miracle Machine DS would have consumed all of reality. A physical fight was out of the question, DS wins this but not by lifting a finger or OSing anyone, he just waits for his soul to collapse and swallow all reality including the team.

Tell that to Superman or Thor. Thor can deflect it and I bet Supes or the Surfer can as Supes has already done so to the omega effect. Based on what? Are you ignoring Darkseid's history against Superman. That isn't a viable option.
Here's the problem I have with this. We really don't know how Darkseid would fare here as he showed us nothing combat wise of what he can even do to them.
Darkseid wasn't affected by the Crisis so all of his PC feats stand. Given that a full powered DS's only real obstacle here is Black Adam (if its WW3 BA) and he goes down easy.
Now FC DS simply isn't defined well, he could be in theory either much stronger or much weaker than PC DS, we don't know.

We simply don't know how to debate Ds so either we revert back to classic levels or we can't debate him as we have no idea what he can do. If his power level was well beyond them in combat we still don't know how much.
Yeah but given that we've seen what he can do (stomp a Pre Crisis Kryptonian, create Validus with a wave of his hand.. etc.) those feats/fight should be regarded as jobbing/PIS. Hell almost all his appearances in the last twenty years are examples of bad writing and PIS.
